Custom Social Job Ads
Unlike our Standard Social Job Ads, which drive traffic to a single job ad, Monster’s Custom Social Job Ads are ideal if you are looking for a little more control on the ad content.
Sold on a cost-per-click basis, they are perfect to gain social media exposure by promoting anything you like: a job fair, a hiring event, your career page – or your employer brand.
Custom Social Job Ads Offer:
-
Precision Targeting
Target qualified candidates on Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Reddit. -
Better Exposure

Flexible Run Dates
You set the duration of your campaign. -
Full Customization
All the components of the social ad are customizable, including pictures, videos, text, and where you want to drive traffic.
Let's check them out!
With Custom Social Job Ads you have the freedom to choose how your ad is designed:
1. Social Media Handle: Deploy the ads directly from your social channels or through Monster’s account
2. Engaging Description: Promote a personally crafted message
3. Image/Video: Provide your own company-approved image or video, or have Monster provide a stock image.
4. Headline: Write your own headline to generate interest and clicks.
5. Call to Action: Choose your call to action and decide where you want to send traffic.
Just provide us with the details below and Monster will handle everything – from ad creation to campaign implementation, to optimization as it runs, and performance reporting.
The social media handle set up only applies to Facebook, Instagram, and X.
It is best to deploy the ads from your own social media platforms.
You will need to authorize Monster to deploy the ads through your company’s social pages. This will place your company’s logo on the ad and has the added benefit of clicking back to your social media page.
You can also launch your social job ads from Monster’s social account if necessary.
Please Note: Your Custom Social Job Ads campaign will run on Facebook, Instagram, X, and Reddit. However, you have the option to also pick and choose if you would prefer to use/exclude any combination of the available platforms.
