| Metric — 30 days, equal budget | TalentXi | Programmatic job distribution | Job boards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-day media spend | Equal budget | Equal budget | Equal budget |
| Clicks | 4,550 human-verified | 4,000–8,000 publisher-reported | Mostly bots — not verified |
| Conversions | 75–115 | 40–70 | 20–35 |
| Cost per conversion | $87–135 | $145–250 | $285–500 |
| Engagement | 6.68% | 2–4% | 1–2% |
| Quality filtering | Real-time | Rules-based bid caps | None |
The difference is the model. Job boards charge flat fees and reach broad audiences with no optimization. Programmatic job-distribution vendors manage CPC and CPA bids across publisher networks, so they buy cheaper clicks but still optimize toward applications rather than hires. TalentXi bids in real time on media impressions and optimizes toward quality — roughly 3–4× more conversions than job boards at about a third of the cost. Vendor figures reflect publicly published CPC/CPA benchmarks; trademarks belong to their respective owners.
