About the platform

Recruitment Advertising, Run Like Real Media

TalentXi is a programmatic recruitment advertising platform for enterprise talent acquisition teams — real-time bidding, AI job ad creative, and hire-level measurement, built by the inventor of programmatic job advertising. A higher-performing alternative to job boards and pay-per-click job distribution, with no ATS integration required.

TalentXi is a workspace for talent acquisition and recruitment marketing teams. Launch campaigns from your existing job feed, watch the platform generate and rotate creative, follow bids move across DSPs in real time, and measure the outcomes that matter — quality applicants, starts, and retention.

TalentXi is a programmatic job advertising platform that uses real-time bidding, AI-generated dynamic creative, and closed-loop optimization to deliver verified human job applicants instead of clicks. Founded by Jason Gorham, TalentXi runs programmatic recruitment advertising as a recruitment demand-side platform (DSP) across omni-channel inventory — display, video, CTV recruitment advertising, audio and native — to reduce cost per hire and raise quality of hire.

What is TalentXi?

TalentXi is a programmatic job advertising platform that buys recruitment media through real-time bidding across display, video, CTV, audio, native, DOOH, and in-game inventory, then optimizes toward confirmed hires instead of clicks or applies. It filters invalid traffic before the bid is placed, reports every publisher and placement at the log level, and runs on the XML job feed an employer already publishes — no ATS integration required.

Jason invented programmatic recruitment advertising — U.S. Patent Application US20070162323A1.

He spent two decades watching the category he created get reduced to rebidding clicks across job-board inventory. TalentXi is the rebuild: real-time bidding across premium demand-side platforms, AI-generated creative per channel, and optimization toward hires, ramp, and retention rather than applies.

Jason leads product direction and works directly with enterprise talent teams on the media strategy behind every campaign.

What Using It Looks Like

Five Screens, One Workflow

Most teams are running their first live campaign inside a week.

01

Connect Your Feed

Point TalentXi at the XML feed or export you already produce. No ATS integration, no new data model. Roles appear in the workspace within minutes.

02

Launch a Campaign

Pick roles, geography, and target outcomes (quality applicants, starts, retention). The platform sets the plan across DSPs and channels for you.

03

Review AI Creative

TalentXi generates multiple creative variants per role — sized for display, video, CTV, audio, and native. Approve, edit, or lock brand-safe language in one click.

04

Watch Bids Move

A live view shows spend rotating across enterprise demand-side platforms and channels. When one channel gets expensive or noisy, budget shifts automatically.

05

Measure Hires, Not Clicks

The outcomes dashboard ties impressions to applicants, starts, and 90-day retention — with every publisher, format, and dollar visible.

Inside the Platform

What You Actually Work In

Campaigns

One Dashboard, Every Open Role

Sort by hires-to-date, cost per applicant, and time-in-market. Drill from a role into its live channels, publishers, and creative in one click.

Creative Studio

Brand-Safe Ads, Generated for You

Prompt-free creative generation with your brand voice, EVP, and design tokens locked in. Variants per channel, location, and employment type.

Live Bidding

A Real-Time View of Where Money Is Moving

See the auction, not just the invoice. Impression-level detail, publisher-level cost, and per-DSP allocation update as the campaign runs.

Outcomes

Applicant → Start → 90-Day Retention

Full-funnel measurement, not just clicks and applies. Configurable outcome events flow back into bidding for continuous optimization.

Fraud Controls

Bot and Click-Farm Traffic, Structurally Removed

Because ads run as media impressions instead of public postings, there is no crawlable URL for bots. Add DSP-level fraud filters on top.

Access

Roles for TA, Marketing, and Finance

Give recruiters read-access to their reqs, keep creative in marketing's hands, and give finance a clean spend view. All in one workspace.

How We Work

The Principles Behind TalentXi

Optimized for Hires

Every campaign optimizes toward quality applicants, confirmed starts, and retention — not clicks.

True Real-Time Bidding

Buys across open-exchange DSP inventory, not job-board feeds dressed up as programmatic.

No Integration Required

Runs on the exports and XML feed you already produce. Contract to first bid in under a week.

Transparent by Default

Every impression, publisher, and dollar is visible. No black-box CPA margin.
