Business challenge

The national retail chain needed a manageable flow of candidates across regions: from Moscow and Saint Petersburg to Ramenskoye, Vsevolozhsk and Solnechnogorsk.

What needed to change

Reduce cost per lead, keep ad accounts transparent and consistently meet stores' high-volume staffing needs.

  1. Split campaigns by vacancy and location

    Built separate campaign combinations for different roles and cities to manage budgets and CPL more precisely.

  2. Reworked creative and messaging

    Updated ads to reflect the actual job conditions and made the offer clearer for candidates.

  3. Optimised continuously

    Tracked leads, qualification and candidates starting work, shifting budget towards effective campaign combinations.

In January–April 2026, we generated 2 056 leads at an average CPL of 411 ₽. Over a year, CPL fell from 869 ₽ to 411 ₽, and the agency generated 30 000+ leads over the entire partnership.
