How Campaign Targeting Works

Updated this week

Wonderkind’s targeting system helps you reach the right audience by using structured data points such as location, interests, and pre-defined automated profiles. Single Job Campaigns leverage Meta’s targeting options, while Dynamic Job Campaigns rely solely on content optimization.

As targeting options become more limited, accurate job data and relevant creative assets play a greater role in campaign performance.

In this documentation, we’ll walk you through:

Let’s get started 🚀

Targeting Overview

Wonderkind uses Meta’s advertising platform to reach candidates. Due to Meta’s reduced recruitment targeting options, Wonderkind has adapted this approach:

Campaign Type

Targeting Approach

Single Job Campaigns

Targeting applied via Meta based on location and interests

Dynamic Job Campaigns

No targeting applied; relies entirely on content optimization

TIP: For Dynamic Job Campaigns, focus on compelling content rather than granular targeting. Strong visuals and clear job messaging drive performance.

Targeting Data

Wonderkind targets users based on location and interests and other fields, while adhering to Meta’s anti-discrimination policies. These targeting attributes are typically configured during Single Job Campaign setup and can be represented in structured formats like XML for clarity and automation.

Location

Utilized for radius-based targeting

Interests

<interests>Sales, Business Strategy</interests>

INFO: Interest targeting is avoided in Dynamic Job Campaigns to prevent limiting job volume.

Profiles in Targeting

In Single Job Campaigns, Wonderkind uses profiles to optimize targeting. A profile is a pre-defined set of targeting parameters based on platform data analysis.
