AcquireROI Sponsored Job Distribution

Overview

AcquireROI is Discovered’s paid job advertising service. It allows employers to sponsor job postings directly from within Discovered and promote them across multiple job advertising networks, instead of relying mainly on organic traffic or a single job board.

This helps increase job visibility, reach applicants across a wider mix of sources, and improve applicant flow for high-priority or difficult-to-fill roles. Like any paid advertising campaign, results can vary by job type, location, budget, and market conditions, but AcquireROI gives teams a way to test additional reach and compare performance against their current sourcing channels.

Important: The AcquireROI feature must first be enabled for your account by a Discovered administrator before it becomes available.

AcquireROI Sponsored Job Distribution:

1. Open the Job Sponsorship Section

Open the job you want to sponsor.

Navigate to: Find and Evaluate Talent → Job Boards.

Under the Sponsored Distribution section, locate the AcquireROI card.

Sponsored campaigns include distribution through Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and ZipRecruiter’s 100+ job board partner network across all tiers.

Premium and Boost campaigns may also include additional distribution through partners such as Talroo, Jobcase, Talent.com, Monster, Snagajob, Dice, Adzuna, and Employers.io.

The exact partner mix can vary by job type, location, budget, and campaign performance. Indeed and ZipRecruiter are the only guaranteed destinations across all tiers.

2. Choose a Sponsorship Plan

Click the AcquireROI card.

If the job has not yet been sponsored, you’ll see multiple sponsorship plan options available.

Select the campaign plan that best fits your hiring needs.

3. Complete Checkout

After selecting a plan:

• Review the sponsorship details
• Enter your payment information
• Confirm the purchase

Once completed, the job will begin its sponsored distribution campaign.

All of the campaigns are 30-days by default.

4. Monitor the Sponsored Campaign

After activation, the AcquireROI card will display:

• Sponsorship status
• Campaign details
• Sponsorship end date

You can revisit the card anytime to review the campaign information.

How to Evaluate Campaign Performance

AcquireROI campaigns are designed to test whether additional sponsored distribution can improve applicant flow and hiring outcomes for a specific role.

Because results can vary by job, location, budget, and candidate market, one campaign gives your team a starting point for comparison. After the campaign runs, you can review performance against your current sources and decide whether to continue, adjust the budget, or use a different sourcing strategy.

When reviewing campaign performance, look beyond total applications. Useful metrics may include:

• Total applicants
• Cost per applicant
• Applicants who pass your screener
• Qualified candidates
• Interviews
• Hires
• Cost per hire

Why This Matters

Sponsored distribution helps employers reach candidates across a wider mix of sources, instead of relying mainly on organic visibility or a single job board. This can increase exposure for critical openings, improve applicant flow, and help teams reach qualified candidates who may not be actively searching on the same channels.

AcquireROI also gives teams a way to evaluate paid job advertising based on hiring outcomes, not just application volume. By reviewing applicant quality, screener pass rates, interviews, hires, and cost per hire, teams can make better decisions about where to continue investing recruiting budget.

Use Cases

• High-Volume Hiring: Increase applicant flow for roles that require large candidate pipelines.
• Hard-to-Fill Positions: Promote specialized or competitive openings to a wider audience.
• Urgent Hiring Needs: Accelerate visibility for time-sensitive hiring campaigns.
• Recruiting Teams: Manage sponsored campaigns without leaving Discovered.

Best Practices

• Use sponsorships for roles that need additional visibility or faster hiring results.
• Review campaign duration and budget before confirming payment.
• Monitor applicant flow during the campaign to measure performance.
• Combine sponsored distribution with assessments and automated workflows for better candidate filtering.
• Ensure job descriptions are complete and optimized before launching sponsorships.

What Happens Next

Once your sponsorship is activated:

• Your job enters the AcquireROI sponsored distribution network
• Campaign details become visible inside the job board settings
• The sponsorship remains active for the selected campaign duration
• Candidate applications continue flowing directly into Discovered for screening and evaluation

With AcquireROI, recruiting teams can increase job visibility, improve applicant flow, and accelerate hiring outcomes directly from within the Discovered platform.
