You’ve worked so hard to provide amazing service to employers and job seekers – through one of the most difficult years we’ve ever endured.
And you know what?
You deserve to celebrate those accomplishments!
Here are a few ways to showcase the shareworthy experiences you’ve created, and build a stronger brand in the process:
Case Studies.
Our clients continually share stories with us about how they’ve gone above and beyond to help employers:
- survive a staffing crisis
- pivot their staffing strategy to adapt to changes in the economy or talent market
- operate safely during the pandemic
- manage a host of other COVID-related business challenges
And for every employer-sided story they share, we also hear amazing examples of how our clients work extremely hard to take care of their candidates and associates. Whether they’re client- or candidate-focused, these stories are a goldmine for highlighting your shareworthy service in action.
How can you go from story to case study?
Start by creating a simple case study form your sales and recruiting staff can use to turn anecdotes into a full-fledged case studies. Here are a few basic elements to include:
- State the problem or issue the employer or job seeker faced.
- Explain their initial reaction to the problem (i.e., before your team stepped in).
- Describe your solution, detailing the specific implementation steps.
- Share the results you delivered, providing statistics when appropriate.
- If possible, include a quote from the employer or job seeker about their service experience and results.
Then, share your case studies on your blog, on a dedicated page on your website, on your social media pages, and even in your direct marketing efforts.
Testimonials/Reviews.
Do employers or job seekers leave you glowing reviews or testimonials on Glassdoor, Facebook, Google or through your reputation management program? Put that social proof to work for you:
- Add a rotating testimonial slider to an otherwise static page on your website.
- Include a testimonial fly-in or pop-up on your website’s home page.
- Target the testimonials or reviews you add, so content is relevant for the page on which it’s displayed.
