What do you like best about Gaia?

I have worked with Gaia for a number of years and more recently have run frequent campaigns with them in my role at Sage. They have delivered us quality candidates in a range of geographies and for a variety of roles. Their reporting dashboard is super helpful and easy to use. The team are incredibly helpful and supportive and get our campaigns implemented easily and fast. I believe they offer a great ROI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gaia?

The only issue we have is sharing large video files rather than Youtube links or similar, but Gaia have helped us overcome this too by creating a SharePoint site we can upload to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gaia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gaia helps us speed up our talent attraction, often for hard to fill roles in a large range of locations, from Newcastle upon Tyne to Atlanta, Barcelona to Johannesburg. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gaia?

I work with Gaia on a regular basis across a multitude of clients and the results generated from the campaigns speak for themselves. The team are great, in particular Blazej who goes above and beyond to get proposals across at super short notice and Kelly, who is always on the ball for all additional support. They are both fantastic and a pleasure to work with.

I am new to the industry and they have made the understanding of Gaia straightforward and easy to navigate. The ability to directly track and manage campaigns through the portal from start to finish helps manage the campaigns seamlessly and additional insights are always on offer and provided at the end of any campaign which is valued information. Our clients are always eager to repeat usage of programmatic social with Gaia because of success, ease, targeting ability and reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gaia?

What do you dislike about Gaia?

Nothing comes to mind. The team have been proactive to help support our goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gaia?

We've used SR for the last four months, and the level of service has been fantastic. Our account manager, Jamie, has supported us every step of the way, consistently responding promptly and providing insightful guidance. Jamie's dedication and expertise have made the collaboration not only seamless but also enjoyable.

What sets SR apart is their commitment to innovation. They are constantly seeking ways to enhance their services, staying ahead of industry trends and implementing cutting-edge solutions. This proactive approach has significantly benefited our operations, ensuring we always have the best tools and strategies at our disposal.

Overall, our experience with SR has been exceptional. Their outstanding service, combined with their forward-thinking mindset, makes them a standout partner. We look forward to continuing our relationship and achieving even greater success together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gaia?

Regarding the creative designs, it initially took some time to understand the style we were looking for. However, after the first few campaigns, our preferences became clear, and subsequent campaigns were created much more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gaia?

Fantastic Client services, always going beyond to support with queries and delivering the best service possible. Being newly rebranded, Gaia has been fundamental in raising our brand profile and reaching new audiences producing excellent results and become a tool we rely on in our everyday recruitment. They've helped with creative concepts, filming and delivery of campaigns that have helped showcase what it is truly like to work at Novuna. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gaia?

Maybe due to their quick growth as a business, occasionally lead times take longer than agreed or I would expect. So thinking about what the commitment is to a piece of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gaia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gaia has allowed us to target the passive recruitment market as well as be effective in bringing in talent for volume roles. We rebranded in 2022 moving away from an established identity to an untested one and a fear in the business was we wouldn't be recognised in the markets we operate in and talent is one of those. What we've seen is more application on roles than before we rebranded and the work we do with Gaia In building out that brand awareness and pushing candidates to the top of the attraction funnel is a big part of our attraction strategy.

What do you like best about Gaia?

Previously I was a regular user of Job Boards and recruiters but output was of mixed quality and needing a high level of oversight / involvement. Gaia has been revolutionary in providing a platform for our brand management and candidate attraction on all Social Media platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gaia?

As Gaia is a leader in Social Media there is an education piece to inform others within the business of its use and the inefficiency of job boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gaia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Job boards have become ineffective with large volume of applicants of little relevance. Recruiters are expensive. Gaia provides a lower cost viable alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gaia?

Overall, Socially Recruited is a fantastic platform for any company looking to leverage the power of social media for recruitment. They take the hassle out of campaign creation, craft amazing content, and deliver real results. Adam is our account manager, and he really nutures his relationships with his clients. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gaia?

There isn't anything I dislike about the company - they understnad the briefs, and communicate effectively throughout the planning phases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gaia solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main issue for us is time, and by passing the campaigns onto Socially Recruited who execute them to a very high standard, it gives us more time to focus on other areas of the business. The content they create is top-notch. It's engaging, captures attention, and perfectly reflects our company culture. We've seen a significant increase in candidate interest thanks to their content strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The scope it provides for brand building and creative delivery, effective targeting and excellent dashboard tracking technology.

What problems is Gaia solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reaching passive candidates in a challenging recruitment market where the number of active candidates and ways of reaching them are seemingly diminishing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
