Marketing for recruitment agencies, built for both sides of the desk

Rock Solid Marketing plans and runs marketing for recruitment agencies across Australia, from our office in Mildura. Your business has two sets of customers. Employers want proof you can fill a hard role quickly, and candidates want to know you'll treat them well and find them something better. Most agency marketing only talks to one of them.

So we build a plan for both. Candidates get a website with your own job board that Google can list in its job search, plus job alerts. Employers get LinkedIn content, market updates and email to hiring managers. Candidate data is handled under the Privacy Act, and every email follows the Spam Act.

Plans start from $4,500 + GST a month for 28 hours. The first conversation is a free 30-minute discovery call.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. We pay for job ads on every board, but our own website brings in no candidates.

    What we do

    Your website carries every job with the structured data Google uses for its job search, plus job alerts, so candidates start coming to you directly.

  2. Employers only call when a role is urgent, then shop us against other agencies.

    What we do

    Regular salary and market updates by email and LinkedIn keep you in front of hiring managers before the urgent role appears.

  3. Our consultants post on LinkedIn, but the brand looks different on every profile.

    What we do

    A shared content calendar and post templates give consultants something worth posting each week, in the agency's voice and their own.

  4. Candidate data sits in old spreadsheets and email lists nobody trusts.

    What we do

    We work with your recruitment software to segment candidates by skills, location and consent. Emails then reach the right people and stay within the Privacy Act and Spam Act.

Digital marketing for recruitment agencies, candidates and clients

Recruitment agency marketing works when both pipelines are fed every week, not only when a big role lands.

Your own job board

Job listings on your site with the structured data Google reads for its job search, plus job alerts and quick apply on a phone. Website packages start from $5,000 + GST.

Email for both sides

Email marketing for recruitment agencies that sends candidates matching jobs and hiring managers a short market update, with every list built on consent under the Spam Act 2003.

LinkedIn for consultants

Posts, templates and a content calendar so each consultant shows up on LinkedIn with jobs, placements shared with consent and market insight. Each voice still sounds like the consultant.

Employer branding for hard roles

Careers pages, role ads and social posts that show what it's like to work for your clients. Harder roles then attract better candidates than a plain job ad would.

Search for roles and towns

SEO for the roles and towns you recruit in, plus a Google Business Profile for each office. Candidates and employers then find you without a job board in between.

Paid ads for roles the boards miss

Meta and LinkedIn ads aimed at passive candidates for roles the boards don't fill. Each role gets its own budget, so you can pass the cost on to clients if you choose.

Placements traced to source

A monthly report shows applications, employer enquiries and placements by source, so you can see whether your site, LinkedIn or the boards bring in the people you place.

Who it’s for

Is it the right fit?

Who it’s for

  • Independent and boutique recruitment agencies
  • Regional agencies filling trades, health, agriculture or mining roles
  • Labour hire firms with a steady flow of roles
  • Specialist agencies focused on one sector

Not a fit

  • Agencies wanting purchased candidate or employer lists
  • Employers looking to hire marketing staff: we don't recruit
  • A one-consultant agency that only needs a website: a website package may suit better

How it starts

A marketing plan for a recruitment agency starts with your desks

We start with how your agency makes money: the desks or sectors you run, typical fees, which clients come back and how candidates find you today. We also look at your recruitment software, your job board spend and what your consultants already post.

Then we set the split between candidate and employer marketing for each desk and agree which channels come first.

You leave with a plan by desk and channel, whoever delivers it.

  • Desks or sectors and their fees
  • Where candidates come from today
  • Where clients come from today
  • Job board spend and results
  • Consent status of your candidate data

Feed both pipelines every week.

How To Use Social Media To Build Trust & Drive Sales For Your Business

In 2025, social media remains one of the most powerful tools small business owners can use to build their brand, connect with customers, and drive sales. But let’s be honest: between running your business, managing day-to-day tasks, and keeping customers happy, finding the time and energy to stay consistent on social media can feel overwhelming.

All FAQs

Marketing for recruitment agencies runs on our partnership plans: Starter is $4,500 + GST a month for 28 hours. Agencies with several desks usually move to 35 hours ($5,500 + GST) or 45 hours ($7,500 + GST) a month. Job board fees and ad spend are extra. If one channel is all you need for now, we'll tell you before we quote.

Pick a niche and become known in it. Employers hire agencies that understand their roles, so a sector focus, regular market updates and consultants active on LinkedIn earn more trust than general ads. Add a website page for each service you offer employers and an easy way to brief you, then follow up every enquiry the same day.

Mostly through relationships: repeat clients, referrals and consultants who stay in touch with hiring managers. Recruitment agencies marketing themselves well support that with LinkedIn content, email market updates, placement stories shared with consent and search pages for the roles they fill. Paid ads help with awareness, but few employers sign terms from an ad alone.

They give hiring managers a reason to come to them. Salary guides, hiring market updates and short reports on skill shortages in your sector attract employers who are planning to hire. Put the longer reports behind a short form, then follow up with useful emails rather than a sales script. Consultants' LinkedIn posts keep the conversation going.

Through job boards, their own database and referrals first, then their website and social media. Your own job board, marked up so Google lists your roles in its job search, brings candidates who search directly. Job alerts and email keep past candidates engaged, and Meta or LinkedIn ads reach passive candidates for roles the boards don't fill.

Look for one that asks about your candidates and roles before it shows you a style board. Good recruitment marketing agencies build employer branding on what staff actually say about the workplace. Ask how they gather that, who writes the careers content and how they measure applications. Ask to see a careers page they wrote and the brief behind it.

Yes, when the lists are clean and the emails are useful. Candidates want matching jobs, and hiring managers want a short read on the market. Every list needs consent, a clear sender and an easy unsubscribe under the Spam Act 2003, and candidate data must be handled under the Privacy Act. We segment by skill, location and consent.

No. We're a marketing agency for recruitment businesses, not a recruiter, so we don't place marketing staff. We market recruitment agencies: their websites, job boards, LinkedIn, email and ads. Our partnership plans have no lock-in contracts, and if a smaller start makes more sense for your agency, we'll tell you before we quote.
