# Is a programmatic job advertising platform worth it for a mid-size recruiting team?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I've been looking at <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/programmatic-job-advertising">programmatic job advertising</a> platforms specifically through the lens of mid-market recruiting teams, and whether the category is actually worth it for a team that size is the question with the most honest variance in G2 reviews. The answer depends almost entirely on how much time the team is currently spending managing individual job boards.</p><ul>

Geo-expansion helps harder-to-fill roles get more coverage, though candidate quality varies by region and proactive optimisation suggestions don't always come unprompted.</li>

&lt;p&gt;Honestly, it seems to depend on how messy your current setup is. If a team is already juggling multiple boards manually, the value feels obvious pretty quickly. If things are relatively controlled, it might feel like overkill. Curious, did anything in your research suggest where that tipping point usually shows up?&lt;/p&gt;
