What Is a Meta Pixel?
A Meta Pixel is a unique tracking ID used by Facebook and Instagram to understand what happens after someone clicks one of your advertisements.
When installed on your Augusta application, the Meta Pixel can send important applicant events back to Meta, such as when someone:
- Visits your application
- Starts an application
- Completes an application
Over time, this information helps Meta better understand which people are most likely to apply for your jobs. As Meta learns which ads generate applicants, it can better optimize your advertising campaigns and improve your recruiting return on investment (ROI).
Think of it as teaching Meta which types of job seekers are the best fit for your agency so it can show your ads to more people like them.
How Augusta Uses Your Meta Pixel
Once your Meta Pixel has been installed on your Augusta application, Augusta automatically sends applicant activity back to Meta as candidates move through your application.
This allows your Meta Ads account to:
- Measure which Facebook and Instagram ads are generating applicants.
- Improve campaign reporting.
- Help Meta optimize future advertising based on applicant conversions.
Your recruiters continue managing applicants entirely inside Augusta—there are no changes to your hiring workflow.
Important: Augusta does not create or manage your Facebook advertising campaigns. We simply install your Meta Pixel on your Augusta application so your advertising platform can receive applicant conversion data.
Create or Find Your Meta Pixel
If you already work with a marketing agency or advertising partner, they likely already have a Meta Pixel for your recruiting campaigns. Simply ask them for your Meta Pixel ID and continue to Send Your Meta Pixel to Augusta below.
If you're managing your own Facebook and Instagram advertising, you'll first need to create a Meta Pixel.
Option 1: Create a New Meta Pixel
If this is your first time running Meta Ads for recruiting:
- Sign in to Meta Business Manager at https://business.facebook.com/.
- Open Events Manager.
- Click Connect Data Sources (or + Add Data Source, depending on your Meta account).
- Select Web as your data source.
- Choose Meta Pixel.
- Give your Meta Pixel a descriptive name, such as ABC Home Care Recruiting.
- Complete Meta's setup wizard.
Once created, your Meta Pixel will appear under Events Manager → Data Sources.
Best Practice: Create a Meta Pixel specifically for recruiting. Keeping your recruiting data separate from your website or client marketing campaigns provides cleaner reporting and helps Meta optimize your recruiting ads more effectively.
Option 2: Find an Existing Meta Pixel
If you already have a Meta Pixel:
- Sign in to Meta Business Manager.
- Open Events Manager.
- Select Data Sources.
- Choose the recruiting Meta Pixel you want to use.
- Open the Settings tab.
- Copy the Dataset ID (Meta Pixel ID).
This is the value Augusta needs to install your Meta Pixel on your application.
Send Your Meta Pixel to Augusta
Once you've copied your Meta Pixel ID, email it to the Augusta team.
Include:
- Your agency name
- Your Meta Pixel ID
- A request to install the Meta Pixel on your Augusta application
Our team will install your Meta Pixel on your Augusta application and notify you once it's complete.
Best Practices
- Create a Meta Pixel dedicated to recruiting whenever possible.
- Direct Facebook and Instagram applicants to your Augusta application instead of Facebook Lead Forms when using Augusta as your hiring platform.
- Review your Meta Ads reporting regularly to understand which campaigns generate the most applicants.
- If you work with a marketing agency, let them know your Meta Pixel has been installed on your Augusta application so they can begin using the conversion data to optimize your campaigns.
- If you'd like to send applicant or hiring data to additional marketing platforms, Augusta also supports integrations through Zapier.
