Before developing the strategy, designing the visuals, or launching the campaigns, we spoke with the client\u2019s team to understand how their recruitment process works: what types of candidates they\u2019re looking for, what roles are available, what criteria are important, and where the greatest need for staff lies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, this stage is essential in performance marketing: we don&#8217;t build campaigns for the platform, but for the business&#8217;s actual goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u258cStrategy: Different Candidates, Different Communication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Communication in two main directions: qualified staff \/ team leaders and workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For team leaders, experience and coordination skills have become central elements of the message. For workers, the communication has emphasized the opportunity for stable employment in Germany and prospects for professional development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This distinction has allowed us to tailor our messages, creative materials, and budgets to the profiles of the candidates we are seeking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"807\" height=\"742\" src=\"\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-14-084254.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-14-084254.png 807w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-14-084254-300x276.png 300w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-14-084254-768x706.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>Sample Creative for Recruiting Workers<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"805\" height=\"744\" src=\"\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-14-084332.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-14-084332.png 805w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-14-084332-300x277.png 300w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-14-084332-767x709.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>Sample Creative for Recruiting Workers<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u258cCampaign Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between July 21 and September 10, 2026, the campaign in question generated over 850 applications, with an average cost of less than 1 euro per lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1820\" height=\"349\" src=\"\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-germania-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-germania-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting.png 1820w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-germania-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-germania-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting-767x147.png 767w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-germania-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting-1024x196.png 1024w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-germania-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting-1536x295.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1820px) 100vw, 1820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1820\" height=\"349\" src=\"\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-ads-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-ads-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting.png 1820w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-ads-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-ads-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting-1024x196.png 1024w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-ads-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting-767x147.png 767w, https:\/\/re7consulting.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fastimer-ads-studiu-de-caz-re7consulting-1536x295.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1820px) 100vw, 1820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u258cSegmentation yielded results that were very similar in terms of effectiveness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign targeting team leaders generated <strong>554 leads at 0.92 euros per lead<\/strong>, while the campaign targeting workers generated <strong>323 leads at 0.94 euros per lead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, this is an interesting result because it shows that segmentation was not done at the expense of efficiency. We were able to create different messaging for two categories of candidates while keeping the acquisition cost nearly identical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u258cCreative testing: video + banners, not just a single ad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign did not rely on a single winning visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tested video content and static banners using different approaches: job opportunities in Germany, job stability, professional development, and criteria specific to certain positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most effective banner in the campaign analyzed was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>100 leads for just 0.66 euros per lead.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another static ad generated <strong>167 leads at 0.87 euros per lead<\/strong>, while the main video ad generated <strong>454 leads at 0.97 euros per lead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gave us two important benefits: a large volume of video footage and the ability to source still images at an extremely competitive price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u258cWe haven&#8217;t just run lead generation campaigns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lead generation campaign was the conversion component, but the strategy was also supported by other types of campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We ran <strong>Brand, Engagement, and WhatsApp campaigns<\/strong> simultaneously so that potential candidates could interact with Fastimmer in multiple stages and formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recruitment, trust matters a great deal. A candidate doesn&#8217;t necessarily see an ad for the first time and immediately fill out the form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can view the brand, interact with a video, return later to a recruitment ad, or choose to start a conversation directly on WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why we are building a promotional ecosystem, not just a one-off campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u258cWhy does this approach work in recruitment marketing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany continues to have an active market for international workers. The Federal Employment Agency reported over <strong>521,000 work permits granted to foreign nationals in 2025<\/strong>, 17% more than in the previous year. For EU citizens, including Romanians, there is free movement of workers, without the need to obtain a work permit in Germany.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the existence of demand does not automatically mean that a recruitment campaign will be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There must be a connection between <strong>the job opening, the candidate&#8217;s profile, the message, the creative approach, the channel, and the subsequent recruitment process.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u258c877 leads represent the marketing results. What comes next is the business results. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A CPL of 0.93 euros is a very good result.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for us, the analysis doesn&#8217;t end there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next step is to maintain an ongoing dialogue with the client and understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How many of the candidates are qualified? How many respond? How many meet the criteria? How many make it to the interview? How many are hired?    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the difference between a campaign that looks good in Meta Ads and one that helps the company grow is what happens <strong>after the lead<\/strong> is generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u258cConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fastimmer case study clearly demonstrates the power of Meta Ads campaigns in recruitment: <strong>over 850 leads in about 7 weeks, with an average cost of less than 1 euro per lead.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the result didn&#8217;t start with a banner or by selecting an audience in Meta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all started with a conversation with the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I understood the business, segmented the candidate categories, developed the right messaging for each one, tested videos and banners, and supported the lead generation campaigns through Brand, Engagement, and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For us, performance marketing isn&#8217;t just about generating cheaper leads. It&#8217;s about understanding what the business needs and building campaigns around that goal. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\t<section class=\"wrap_outer re7_block re7_textblock background-white\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"re7_textblock__text re7_block__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>\u2b50Vrei s\u0103 atragi mai mul\u021bi candida\u021bi potrivi\u021bi pentru pozi\u021biile deschise?<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>La re7consulting construim strategii de recruitment marketing pornind de la nevoile reale ale business-ului, cu audien\u021be, mesaje \u0219i materiale creative adaptate fiec\u0103rui profil de candidat.
