- We would build campaigns around tech stack and project content instead of job titles.
- We would show contracting terms such as duration, extensions and remote options early.
- We would steer on candidate leads per technical niche and country.

Publicly verifiable context
SThree plc presents itself as a specialist talent partner for STEM sectors, is listed on the London Stock Exchange under ticker STEM, and operates brands such as Computer Futures, Progressive and Huxley; see the SThree investor information. We make no statements about internal marketing performance.
What we would recommend: advertise on tech stack, not job title
An approach that could work is advertising per niche with the technology and project type at the center. An embedded engineer responds to the chip, the protocol and the project phase, not to the word engineer.
What we would recommend: make contracting terms transparent
For contract professionals, assignment length, extension rhythm and remote options are the first questions. We would place that information above the form by default, so candidates do not have to email to find out whether an assignment fits.
What we would recommend: measure per niche and country
We would report candidate leads, cost per lead and response time per technical niche and per country, with weekly optimization. This is speculative advice, not an assessment of existing campaigns.
Our own approach and reporting metrics are documented in the Giant Leap Recruitment case and our case library.
