Companies spend $15bn annually on talent acquisition in the US. The most important metric in performance recruitment advertising is the conversion from the paid click on the job platform to the application the employer receives. Industry-wide, apply conversion is just 5% today. This means that 95% of candidates are dropping off, and 95% of budgets are wasted! The biggest reason for abandonment is the redirection of the candidate from the job platform to the company site; this step has a 70% bounce rate. SonicJobs have built proprietary AI Web Agents that enable candidates to apply seamlessly on any site without redirection to the career site. Instead of a 5% conversion, SonicJobs delivers a 26% conversion; 5X better. The SonicJobs AI Agents create inherently scalable B2B connectivity where employers and their applicant tracking systems (ATS) dont need to do any API tech work and only pay per application.
