We might seem like the new kid on the block, but we’ve been around the search and social media recruitment space since 2017. Before we rebranded to Gaia, we were known as Socially Recruited.
We’ve adopted a new look and name thanks to our acquisition of soccialy.
Together, Socially Recruited and soccialy make Gaia what it is today.
We’re the Candidate Obsessive Recruitment Platform.
When we launched, back in 2017 (how time flies!) social media was rarely considered a recruitment channel. Some employers posted jobs on their social media channels but there was no paid media spend, targeting and a lack of strategy. Our Co-Founders Ben & Gareth recognised the opportunity that social media presented and so Socially Recruited was born.
Ben and Gareth had seen first hand that employers were using outdated recruitment methods and that candidates were receiving a poor experience. They knew change needed to happen.
