Creating more educated, engaged and confident candidates.
A video series was required as part of an integrated ‘always-on’ marketing funnel to support 10 recruitment drives per year for Allianz Contact Centres based in Adelaide and Brisbane. Key objectives were to build brand awareness, while portraying Allianz contact centre careers differently to competitors. The brief was to unlock candidates’ sub-conscious, job-seeking mindset and then emotionally connect with them by tapping into career drivers so they could ‘feel’ the people, culture and environment of the contact centre.
Hero Video.
Designed to be quite direct in its frankness, this video led the campaign and showcases what it's really like to work in a Contact Centre at Allianz Australia. This approach was designed to educate candidates so they knew what to expect before joining.
Career Themes Video Episodes - Paired Interviews
To extend the campaign we developed a series of paired interview video episodes that delved deep into a career theme in each one. The camaraderie and honesty from the colleagues was infectious. Having them ask each other questions creates a more authentic and intimate style that is more engaging for the viewer.
Career Theme 1: A culture of collaboration.
“These people are my friends. They’ve put a lot of effort into you and I don’t want to let them down.”
This is a place you want to be. There’s a real sense of belonging and you’ll feel part of team where it’s never one person’s job to get it done.
Career Theme 2: Be more, do more.
“My team leader sat down with me and mapped out what I needed to learn and then sent me on courses that
would help benefit me over time so I would be ready to make the next move.”
Supportive team leaders who will give you the advice, direction and coaching you need to achieve your goals.
Career Theme 3: Room to grow.
“I’ve had four different roles in the one department.”
Take your career in whatever direction you like and develop a strong foundation of professional skills.
Career Theme 4: You matter.
“People are at the heart of everything we do.”
Something not working then we want to hear your ideas. We actively seek your feedback, encourage you to have a say and then we look at what actions to take.
Career Theme 5: Feel ready to succeed.
“I honestly thought I would come in everyday and get fired. That didn’t happen. I can really trust these people with my emotions and my life.”
We genuinely care about you, and don’t want you to feel anxious or worried about losing your job. We want you to do well. KPIs are achievable, bonus is fair and we are 100% transparent. You’ll feel valued and recognised for doing a great job.
Action from Behind the Scenes of our 2-day shoot.
Everyone we met and collaborated with was so generous with their time and enthusiastic in showcasing their workplace and culture.
Outcome
An award-winning campaign that created more educated, engaged and confident candidates.
Most competitor videos (researched by Allianz) were driven by role type, with the employee covering various career themes in one video. Instead, our approach was to create a series of videos that went deep into one single-minded, career theme per video. We led with a ‘hero’ video which was designed to educate candidates, helping them make an informed decision about the role, before applying. The video showcased the ‘real’ working environment – both the positive benefits but also being frank about the challenges of a sit-down job, in a highly-managed and challenging environment, where employees are on the phone for 80% of the time. As a follow-on, 5 more episodic-style videos were created to bring to life the various career themes that set Allianz Contact Centres apart. Anecdotal feedback from the team was that candidates were more engaged coming through the process and felt more confident about the role when they started.
