Recruitment advertising, explained.
What does a recruitment advertising agency do?
A recruitment advertising agency helps employers select, buy and manage the tools used to attract candidates. Bessire & Associates brings your platforms, advertising budget and hiring data into one strategy, with vendor coordination and ongoing reporting.
How can Bessire’s agency services have no added cost?
Participating vendors pay Bessire through agency commissions. You pay the same gross product price, with no additional fee for our standard agency services. Commissions vary by vendor and product. Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) and separately scoped services are priced separately.
How do I know if we are overspending on recruitment advertising?
Compare total platform spending with qualified applicants, interview progression and hiring outcomes for similar roles and locations. Bessire reviews those results alongside your hiring market before recommending whether to reduce, reallocate or increase investment. More spending is not always the right answer.
Can Bessire support different industries and international hiring?
Yes. Bessire & Associates is vendor-neutral and industry-agnostic, with recruiting experience since 1996 and access to 100+ recruitment technology solutions. We review each role, location and available tools before recommending a local or global recruitment approach.

investment could do better.
