Driving Success: A Recruitment Marketing Success Story

In the competitive landscape of workforce recruitment, a leading total service wholesale distributor of food and household products in New England faced a pressing challenge: attracting qualified truck drivers and warehouse workers. With the demand for reliable labor on the rise, they needed an effective digital marketing strategy to ensure a steady flow of applicants.

The Challenge

To maintain their operations, the distributor needed to fill various positions, including truck drivers, warehouse workers, commercial drivers, and roles in manufacturing and logistics. The goal was clear: create a robust pipeline of qualified candidates to support their growing business.

The Digital Strategy

To tackle this challenge, we developed a comprehensive digital marketing campaign focused on driving applicant flow. Key elements of the strategy included:

  • Over-the-Top (OTT) Advertising and Social Media to generate awareness and interest among potential job seekers.
  • Native Ads and Social Mirror Ads utilizing recruitment behavioral targeting, effectively reaching both active and passive job seekers.
  • Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising aimed at engaging individuals ready to apply, guiding them through the final stages of the recruitment process.

This multi-faceted approach allowed us to connect with a wide range of candidates in the relevant fields, ensuring that our messaging resonated with those most likely to be interested in the available positions.

The Results

The campaign ran for a full year, and the results were consistently impressive:

  • An overall Click-Through Rate (CTR) for Social, Social Mirror, and Native ads of 0.94%, which is 13 times the national average.
  • For PPC ads, the CTR soared to an astounding 22.81%, resulting in over 2,000 calls per month from interested candidates.
  • The campaign successfully yielded hundreds of applicants, providing the distributor with a steady stream of qualified candidates.

Due to the high volume of qualified applications, the business opted to continue the campaign for the entire year, recognizing the importance of maintaining a robust applicant pool in an industry often challenged by turnover.

Conclusion

This success story highlights the effectiveness of a strategic digital marketing approach in recruitment. By utilizing diverse channels and targeting techniques, the distributor was able to not only meet their hiring needs but also build a strong foundation for ongoing talent acquisition.
