How is Lahda different from job boards like Indeed?

Job boards only reach about 20% of the labor market - people actively looking for jobs. Lahda reaches the other 80% of qualified workers through targeted social media ads on Facebook and Instagram. These passive candidates aren't on job boards but are open to the right opportunity.

How quickly will I see applicants?

Most businesses see their first qualified applicants within 24-72 hours of launching a campaign. Our targeted ads reach candidates quickly, and our mobile-friendly application process lets them apply in under 60 seconds.

What types of roles work best with Lahda?

Lahda works exceptionally well for healthcare (CNAs, RNs), skilled trades (HVAC, plumbers, electricians), hospitality (servers, cooks), logistics (CDL drivers, warehouse workers), manufacturing, and hourly positions across industries.

How does candidate screening work?

You set up knockout questions that automatically filter out candidates who don't meet your requirements. This includes verifying licenses, certifications, experience levels, and availability before they reach your inbox.

What does it cost to use Lahda?

Lahda offers flexible pricing based on your hiring needs. You only pay for your ad spend plus a platform fee. Most customers see 60-80% lower cost-per-hire compared to traditional job boards.

Do I need to know how to run Facebook ads?

No, Lahda handles everything for you. Just provide your job details and requirements, and we create and optimize your ad campaigns automatically. No marketing or technical experience required.

Why you should run hiring ads on Facebook & Instagram

Job boards only reach about 20% of the labor market - the people who are unemployed or unhappy and applying to tons of jobs at once. That's why you get so many bad fits. The other 80% of workers are qualified and employed, but they never check job boards. They're on social media. Social recruiting puts your job in front of them on the apps they use every day and lets them apply fast on their phones. This brings in better, more serious candidates you won't find anywhere else.
