Outsourcing recruitment
Finding new colleagues? It's anything but easy in this job market. Especially when your vacancy disappears among the crowd on job boards, while the ideal candidate is scrolling through Instagram or WhatsApp on their mobile. At Boostbricks, we take a different approach. With smart tools, continuous communication, active follow-up, and low costs, we make outsourcing recruitment much more effective and fair.
What is recruitment?
Recruitment is more than just posting a job description and conducting interviews. It's a profession. The recruitment process revolves around the right tone, the right timing, and finding the right people at the right time. This begins with fine-tuning your company culture, selecting the ideal candidate, and only ends with signing the contract. How does it differ from, for example, secondment? Recruitment is about hiring a new employee on a permanent basis who truly fits your team and vision for the future.


Why would you outsource recruitment?
Hiring a new employee sounds simple, but in practice, it often proves to be a time-consuming and costly process. This is especially true if your organization doesn't have a dedicated recruitment team, or if you need to fill multiple vacancies simultaneously. In that case, outsourcing your recruitment isn't a luxury, but a strategic choice.
The most important benefits at a glance:
1) Start bij de doelgroep, niet bij de vacature
Vraag niet “wat zoeken we?”, maar:
-
wie willen we bereiken (profiel + motivatie)?
-
waar zitten ze (kanalen)?
-
welke bezwaren hebben ze (loon, uren, locatie, opleiding, stabiliteit)?
Tip: maak 1 “candidate persona” per schaarse rol (bv. technieker, verpleegkundige, teamlead).
2) Maak je vacaturepagina conversie-proof
Jobmarketing faalt vaak niet op bereik, maar op conversie. Optimaliseer:
-
duidelijke titel (functie + locatie + type)
-
loonrange/voordelen waar mogelijk
-
concrete verwachtingen (taken, planning, team, tools)
-
snelle sollicitatie (mobiel, weinig velden)
3) Distributie: kies kanalen per rol
Een praktische indeling:
-
Actieve werkzoekenden: jobboards/vacaturesites
-
Latente werkzoekenden (werken al, maar staan open): social ads + retargeting
-
Niche profielen: communities, gespecialiseerde platformen, referrals
-
Search intent: Google for Jobs via correcte jobpagina’s
Google for Jobs is vaak “gratis bereik” — als je het technisch juist zet
Google adviseert expliciet JobPosting structured data om vacatures in de Google job-ervaring te tonen.
Als je vacatures op je eigen site staan, is dit een hefboom die veel bedrijven laten liggen.
4) Budget: stop met “vast bedrag per kanaal”
Moderne jobmarketing verschuift naar (semi-)automatische budgetallocatie:
-
meer spend op kanalen die sollicitaties opleveren
-
minder spend op kanalen met veel kliks maar lage kwaliteit
Dat is exact waar programmatic job advertising voor bedoeld is: job ads automatisch plaatsen/optimaliseren op basis van data en prestaties.
5) Automatisatie: verkort de tijd tussen interesse en reactie
Snelheid wint. Denk aan:
-
automatische screeningvragen (knock-outs)
-
direct bevestigen + next step
-
heractivatie van talentpool
-
WhatsApp opvolging (voor hoge respons in blue-collar profielen)
Hier ontstaat vaak de grootste ROI: niet “meer ads”, maar minder frictie.
6) Meten als een performance marketeer
Zonder KPI’s blijft jobmarketing een kostenpost. Track minimaal:
-
source of hire (waar komen hires echt vandaan?)
-
cost per hire
-
application completion rate (sollicitatie-afwerking)
-
drop-off rate (waar haken mensen af?)
-
time to hire / time to fill

Veelgemaakte fouten in jobmarketing (die rankings én resultaten kosten)
-
Alles voor iedereen: één generieke vacaturetekst die niemand overtuigt
-
Geen werkenbij-fundament: campagne zonder landingspagina die converteert
-
Te trage opvolging: kandidaten zijn weg vóór je reageert
-
Geen tracking: je ziet kliks, maar niet welke kanalen hires opleveren
-
Losse campagnes: maand 1 “push”, maand 2 stilte → instroom blijft onvoorspelbaar
