The challenge

Ambitious clients. Specialist roles. A constantly moving tech market.

Nexer Recruit helps ambitious clients grow and recruit the right-fit specialist competence they need — particularly in IT and tech, including the new wave of hybrid digital roles. That task requires Nexer Recruit themselves to constantly change and grow, with an innovative mindset and a deep understanding of how tech candidates move and engage.

To deliver, they needed a way to reach candidates where candidates actually are — social media — and to do it with the kind of data fidelity their tech-savvy clients expect. That meant moving past manual sourcing, ad-hoc campaigns, and gut-feel targeting.

The Adway approach

Tech talent, met on tech-native channels

  • 01

    Reach candidates where they actually are

    Tech talent doesn't refresh job boards — they scroll social. Adway lets Nexer Recruit show up in those feeds with the right role at the right moment, instead of waiting for candidates to find them.

  • 02

    Data-led from day one

    Adway's measurement layer underpins every campaign. Nexer Recruit picked Adway because they work based on data — and now have a real-time view of how each tech audience moves and engages.

  • 03

    Always-on for hybrid digital roles

    New hybrid and digital specialist roles need continuous presence, not one-off campaigns. Adway keeps Nexer's tech talent pool warm between requisitions, so the right candidate is reachable when the role opens.

  • 04

    Strategic partnership, not just a tool

    The Adway team operates as an extended specialist arm — combining the automated platform with hands-on advisory on targeting, creative, and conversion for IT and tech audiences.

  • 05

    Control over recruitment marketing

With Adway, Nexer Recruit can deliver the exact right candidate for the role in a seamless way — keeping their ear to the ground on how tech candidates move while a data-driven measurement layer keeps recruitment marketing under control.
