Proof, not promises
There is no shortage of big promises in recruitment. We would rather show you what happens when we take over your recruitment challenge: case by case, per role type and per approach, including how we measure.
How does SocialFind prove the approach works?
SocialFind backs up its results with real client cases by role type and sector, and with a public measurement methodology that defines what counts as a hire, how cost per hire is calculated and how time to hire is measured. Figures come from our own data and client cases, backed by reliable external sources where they exist.
Read our measurement methodologyFour kinds of proof
Every recruitment agency says their approach works. We believe you should be able to check that. That is why we build our proof on real cases, the full funnel behind them and public definitions, always presented together.
- Cases by role type
- From hands-on roles to board level: each case shows which target group we were looking for, how scarce they were and why we chose that particular approach.
- The full funnel in view
- Not just the end result, but the entire route to it: employer proposition, content, media, sourcing, screening and follow-up.
- Open measurement methodology
- Every definition behind our numbers is set out in black and white. So you can verify claims instead of having to take them on faith.
- Honest about context
- Recruitment is never one-size-fits-all. We also name what did not work and what we adjusted along the way, because that is part of an approach driven by data.
What a managing director looks at
In the end a managing director wants to know three things: are people being hired, how fast does it go, and what does it cost? Recruitment also looks at the process: candidate quality, speed, the funnel and the workload. That is why we only count a hire once someone has been hired and has started, stricter than a signed offer.
Since SocialFind started in 2022, around 380 people have been hired and have started with our clients through our recruitment. Until October 2024 SocialFind was a general partnership (VOF), since then a private limited company (BV); the figure spans both periods. We started without clients, so the pace in recent years is far higher than at the start. How we count is in our measurement methodology; the cases below show per client what that looked like in practice.

Measurement methodology
What counts as a hire? Is the media budget included in cost per hire? When does the clock start for time to hire? Our definitions are published on the methodology page, so you can trace every result on this site back to the measurement behind it. That makes numbers comparable, including with your own. Our own Meta ad account is the proof: around €400,000 in campaign budget, 28.7 million impressions and 24,316 completed applications through our own forms between 10 August 2023 to 31 August 2026. Those applications were counted twice independently; Meta's account totals we checked every month.
