Quick answer
Recruiting on Telegram works because candidates already follow job channels and respond to bots quickly. Advertise a specific role with salary range, location or remote status and key requirements, send clicks to an application bot that asks 3–5 screening questions, and reply within 24 hours. Avoid discriminatory targeting or wording. Measure cost per qualified applicant and cost per hire. Adsun lets employers and agencies test recruitment campaigns across Telegram placements in 213 countries with a USDT budget.
Key takeaways
- Show the salary range and remote status up front.
- An application bot screens candidates in minutes.
- Fast replies win candidates in competitive markets.
- Optimize on cost per qualified applicant and hire.
Why recruiters use Telegram
In many countries, IT, crypto, remote and blue-collar job channels on Telegram have large audiences. Candidates can apply from their phone in a chat, which lowers friction compared with long web forms.
Job ads that convert
- Role title and seniority in the first line.
- Salary range, location or remote, schedule.
- Three must-have requirements, not ten.
- What makes the job attractive: team, product, growth.
Application bot flow
- Ask 3–5 screening questions with buttons where possible.
- Accept a CV file or portfolio link.
- Confirm receipt and next steps with a timeline.
- Route qualified candidates to a recruiter instantly.
Fair hiring and measurement
Do not target or word ads to exclude people by protected characteristics, and follow local employment advertising rules. Track cost per applicant, qualified rate, interview rate and cost per hire.

Metric definitions and formulas
- CPM
- Cost per mille: what an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions.
CPM = (Ad spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - CPC
- Cost per click: average price an advertiser pays for one click.
CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks - CTR
- Click-through rate: the share of impressions that produced a click.
CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100% - eCPM
- Effective CPM: what a publisher earns per 1,000 impressions, whatever the pricing model.
eCPM = (Publisher earnings ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - Fill rate
- The share of ad requests that returned an ad.
Fill rate = (Filled ad requests ÷ Total ad requests) × 100%

Worked example
Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data
An advertiser tests $300 across 4 countries at a $0.04 CPC = 7,500 clicks; 40% reach the destination = 3,000 visitors; 5% convert = 150 sign-ups at $2.00 each. A publisher with 10,000 daily users showing 1.4 ads each = 14,000 impressions; at a $1.10 eCPM that is about $15.40 a day. Replace every figure with your own data.
Adsun measurement methodology
Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
