Publicly verifiable context
TrueBlue is a US workforce organization whose stock trades on the NYSE under ticker TBI and whose brands include PeopleReady and PeopleScout; see the official TrueBlue investor information. We make no statements about internal marketing performance.
What we would recommend: the shift as the ad unit
An approach that could work is advertising a concrete shift instead of a job: date, start time, location and hourly pay. People who work on demand pick a day, not a career.
What we would recommend: reactivation before new acquisition
We would activate the existing worker base first with short, repeatable messages per market. Someone who already worked a shift is usually far cheaper to reach than a new candidate.
What we would recommend: measure filled shifts
We would report cost per filled shift and the time between sign-up and first shift. 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.
