What an agency needs: volume, fast, close to you

When a client company calls on Monday for three order pickers on Wednesday, the agency has no time to publish an ad and wait. It draws on its pool. So the whole point is to keep filling it, with people:

  • who live in the agency's local labour pool;
  • who are ready to work in accessible jobs (logistics, industry, catering, retail, cleaning);
  • who can be called back quickly.

What the Facebook form does

The candidate sees the ad on Facebook or Instagram, taps “Apply”, and a form opens without leaving the app: first name, last name, phone, email. No questions about the job.

What my three ads show

All-round crew member, fast food, Épernay30€0.68
Bike or scooter technician, Paris24€0.53
Sushi chef, Berlin12€5.83

For a pool of accessible profiles, the order of magnitude is below €6 per contact, and below €1 for two very accessible jobs in France. But three ads do not make an average, and none of them was a temp agency.

What the free plan allows, and what it does not

Open door gives up to 20 applications per 30-day period, with the phone number hidden (packs let you unlock it), for a €0 subscription: you only pay for ad delivery, at most €5 per day. It is a good way to try. It is not a pool fed all year round.

For a continuous volume, several sites or several clients, we discuss a tailored offer: write to me and we will look at your needs. I will not quote a price here that I would not display on the site.

The limits, plainly

  • No sorting without questions. Without questions, I know nothing about the candidate apart from their name and contact details. None of the 30 applications in Épernay could be scored. The sorting is done by phone, by you.
  • Not for specialist profiles. For a maintenance technician or a site manager, the page with questions saves you precious time.
  • You have to call back fast. A contact obtained in a few seconds cools down as fast as it came: the form fills the pool, and it is the speed of the first call that makes it useful.
  • A result is not a promise. The gap between €0.53 and €5.83 shows that the trade and the country matter.

In short

  • To fill a pool for accessible jobs, the Facebook form is the shortest route: from €0.53 to €5.83 per application on three ads.
  • Open door: €0 subscription, 20 applications per 30-day period, phone number hidden.
  • Beyond that, or for several clients, we discuss a tailored offer.
  • Limits: no sorting without questions, a fast callback is essential, no national average.
