Reach talents in new ways

The Problem

The Schaeffler Group, a global automotive and industrial supplier, urgently needed qualified talent across multiple locations to drive key future initiatives. However, many potential candidates did not perceive the company as a modern high-tech player, but rather as a traditional, somewhat outdated corporation.

The Approach

Based on data-driven personas, we identified the mindset of people who want to make a real impact in their careers. From these insight, we developed the employer value proposition “Drive your Career” and translated it into a digital campaign that reaches talents exactly where they spend their time — across social media and video platforms.

The idea

Instead of classic recruiting communication, we delivered an inspiring career message embedded within the target audience’s everyday media consumption. The result: what began as a local recruiting initiative evolved into a highly relevant movement for ambitious talents — so successful in Germany that it was later rolled out globally.
