A recruitment marketing team in your pocket is your AI-powered platform that takes care of targeting, ad optimisation, and candidate conversion. It gives overstretched hiring teams the impact of a full media team without adding headcount.
Hiring teams are under pressure. Vacancies stay open for weeks, advertising budgets vanish into job boards that deliver more noise than quality, and internal recruiters are buried under admin.
Most HR teams simply don’t have the capacity or expertise to run high-performing recruitment campaigns. And when budgets are under pressure, TA teams are left to figure out how to reduce recruitment marketing costs without losing performance.
That’s the problem a recruitment marketing team in your pocket solves. Instead of hiring more staff or outsourcing to agencies, you get AI that builds, runs, and optimises your campaigns across every channel. No extra workload. No wasted spend. Just better applicants, faster.
The recruitment ecosystem is chaotic. Job boards are in decline, with Monster and CareerBuilder bankrupt in 2025 and Reed postings down 23 percent. LinkedIn and Indeed still dominate, but they frustrate many TA leaders with rising costs and patchy performance.
Meanwhile, HR and TA teams are asked to do more with less. They’re expected to attract diverse candidates, report on ROI, and deliver faster hires. All without the resources of a dedicated marketing team. For smaller organisations, the idea of running multi-channel campaigns feels impossible.
A recruitment marketing team in your pocket means one thing: infrastructure. Gaia gives you a single place to plan, launch, and optimise recruitment campaigns across up to 11 social and digital channels. It's not about using AI to make any decision on who gets hired; it's about using it to make sure the best people are in your pipelines.
Here’s how it removes the heavy lifting:
What would normally require an in-house media team (such as buying ads, testing creative, monitoring performance, and so on) is all handled for you.
When you put recruitment marketing in your pocket, three things happen:
For overstretched teams, the biggest benefit is time. AI does the campaign work so recruiters can focus on people: interviews, candidate care, and advising hiring managers.
A recruitment marketing team in your pocket makes the biggest difference in four situations:
Gaia is already used by over 1,000 employers worldwide including Lidl, Asda, Santander, and the NHS. One public sector customer described it as “a unique service in the marketplace” that delivered better targeting and clear insights. Other than the case studies on our website, why not hear it directly from one of customers in this webinar: How Babcock hit their hiring target & saved £80k in recruitment costs.
You don’t need more tools or another supplier that adds complexity. You need fewer things to do. A recruitment marketing team in your pocket is the simplest way to:
That’s the promise: one platform, AI-powered, built for overstretched teams.

Who is Gaia best for
Gaia suits in-house recruitment teams, agencies and RPOs who want:
- To reach beyond job boards into the open web and social channels.
- Real-time campaign optimisation and data-driven decision making.
- Flexibility between self-serve and managed service.
- Seamless integration with existing ATS workflows.
- A measurable lift in quality and volume of applicants.

Final word: Gaia vs Adzuna
If you need broad, AI-targeted reach, multi-channel automation and real performance data, Gaia delivers a fundamentally different proposition to job board aggregators like Adzuna. Both now operate in social recruitment advertising, but Gaia is purpose-built for performance, with broader reach across the open web and paid search, real-time cross-channel optimisation, cookie-free retargeting and the choice of self-serve or managed delivery. For TA, HR and EB leaders tasked with hitting hiring targets in competitive markets, Gaia provides the tools, intelligence and flexibility to succeed.
