If a trailer excites and inspires you, you book the tickets /download and watch the movie.
At this point, you are expecting to uncover the complete story that the trailer indicated.
If it is similar, in both tone and matter, and you enjoy the indulgent experience, when you leave the theatre, you will recommend 10 others to watch it!
But if the movie is not taking off from the trailer, you are likely to walk out mid - way. And definitely spread the negative review far and wide.
Recruitment Campaign:
Works in the same way as the trailer. It needs to be an authentic window into what you will witness next from onboarding to working to retire. The more seamless and delightful the experience, the more referrals it can earn, leading to better quality applications.
Talent Acquisition campaigns are the trailer of your Employer Brand
Similar to the movie trailers, the recruitment campaign should not only help draw more potential talent into your fold, but also the right kind of talent that will identify with your culture and align with your goals.
Before booking your tickets, when you want to know how the movie really is, you are likely to ask someone who has experienced it. Similarly, Employer Brand campaigns on social media channels must reflect:
1. Inside-out engagement stories
2. Employee’s unbiased opinions of what it FEELs like to work in your organization
3. Stories of collaborative work and achievements
4. Talent profile related positive triggers – such as hustle that the young audiences are a part of or
the stability that your older talent enjoys
5. The policies or HR Practices in action – whether it is flexibility, care, or DEI
6. Stories of wins that talent gets to take away during his/her tenure at the organization
This list will be unique for every organization.
At Pomelo, we focus on helping build a recruitment campaign that makes you truly unique, differentiated and with a compelling story that can bring the right talents into your fold.
