Listed IT Solutions Company

Despite strong brand recognition, the company struggled with a 'rigid' and 'old-fashioned' image that deterred target candidates (web engineers) from applying.

Challenge

  • Low awareness and interest from the target talent pool
  • The actual company culture (innovative, flat) was not being communicated
  • Rising recruitment costs due to heavy reliance on agencies

Development & Strategy

  • Produced a recruitment concept video themed around 'Challenge'
  • Created interview videos featuring real engineers sharing authentic stories
  • Redesigned the careers site with embedded video content

Results

  • Engineering applications increased 180% year-over-year
  • Higher offer acceptance rate among video-sourced applicants
  • Recruitment cost per hire (CPA) reduced by 30%
