Your plan to actually get applicants

Homebase isn't a magic applicant source. Posting alone, with nothing behind it, gets thin volume — plan on a small monthly boost plus the free levers you own so 'not enough applicants' is never a surprise.

Set your monthly budget — we manage the spend

We sponsor across Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and social, and optimize as applicants come in. Organic alone barely moves anymore — the boards throttle free posts, so budget is the lever.

Homebase manages the campaign — you don't touch Indeed. Spend-to-applicant model simulated for the demo; production uses the boards' live delivery data.

Where it posts

Homebase organic (Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Facebook, Google) (organic) — Free reach, but boards throttle unpaid posts — expect a slow trickle.
Sponsored boost (paid) — $150–$250/mo moves you up the results and roughly 3–5x's applicant volume.
