Challenge

The target audience was set: both recent graduates and experienced engineers. But it wasn't just about getting a flow of applications in. To succeed, we need to start with something even more important; increasing awareness of Valmet as an employer. A well-known brand in the industry, absolutely, but the employer brand needs to be sharpened, awakened and showcased for real.

SMW Group fick i uppdrag att skapa en slagkraftig och effektiv rekryteringskampanj under tio veckor som kombinerade medvetenhet med trafikdrivande budskap där huvudfokus var att attrahera rätt kandidater – och med den lilla detaljen, att göra det snabbt.

Solution

We built the campaign according to our proven synergy approach, where each phase has a clear objective. The campaign was divided into three phases: introduce, imagine/impress och interact

Strategin omfattade flera kanalval och hade anpassat innehåll som betonade företagskulturen, värderingarna, medarbetarna och lediga positioner – här med huvudsyfte att tala direkt till fokusmålgruppen ingenjörer.

Phase 1

Although Valmet is a well-known brand in the process industry, the goal was initially to raise awareness of Valmet as an employer. This meant introducing their employer brand to the target audience, thereby building data and statistics, arousing curiosity and driving exposure for phase two.

Phase 2

In the second phase, we highlighted Valmet's greatest asset — their employees! Here we want to create a vision for the target group that answers the question of what it is like to be part of Valmet from the employees' perspective. At the same time, we highlight Valmet's values and let candidates see if they match their values.vision för målgruppen som svarade på frågan hur det är att vara en del av Valmet utifrån de anställdas perspektiv. Samtidigt framhävde vi Valmets värderingar och lät kandidater se huruvida de matchade sina värderingar.

Phase 3

Sharp position; time to get applications in! With a clear call to action, this phase aimed to drive in concrete applications and facilitate the application process. We did this in the form of carousel cards that engage candidates and highlight different aspects of the workplace where we could link to different positions that were vacant.

Summing up

The target audience, as I said, was set: both recent graduates and experienced engineers. But it wasn't just about getting a flow of applications in. To succeed, we start with something even more important; increasing awareness of Valmet as an employer. A well-known brand in the industry, absolutely, but the employer brand needs to be sharpened, awakened and showcased for real.
