Questions
- What makes a good HR tool ad on Facebook or Instagram?
- The ones in this set share a few things: a problem, then solution angle (62% of ads), the photo format, and a hook in the first line. The surest sign is time: an ad still running after 90 days, with variations, is one its advertiser has measured and kept. 43 of these have.
- How long do HR tool ads run on Meta?
- Of the 117 active HR tool ads in Dovey's index on October 7, 2026, the median has run 81 days and 43 have run 90 days or more. Meta's Ad Library publishes start dates, so run time is a fact, not an estimate.
- What share of HR tool ads are video?
- 27% of the active HR tool ads in the index are video, as of October 7, 2026. The rest are still images and carousels.
- Which angle do HR tool ads use most?
- problem, then solution, in 62% of ads, followed by offer at 14%. An angle is the model's read of the creative's main argument: an offer, a proof, a problem and its solution, a story.
- Who runs the most HR tool ads on Facebook and Instagram?
- In this set, Gusto (15 ads), Deel (13 ads), BambooHR (12 ads). Counts are active ads in Dovey's index on October 7, 2026, not Meta's full account.
- How are the top ads chosen?
- By Dovey's rank: how long the ad has run, how many variations the advertiser keeps making of it, reach where Meta publishes it, freshness, whether it is still live, and relaunches. Meta publishes no performance numbers for ordinary ads, and Dovey does not invent them; a long run with many variations is the closest public signal to an ad that works.
- Where does this data come from?
- Meta's Ad Library, read through a licensed provider. Every ad links back to its Ad Library page. Dovey adds the model's read of each creative (hook, angle, offer, format, talent) and, for videos it has watched, the transcript.
