The challenges
Increase online presence and reach the desired target audience
BNP Paribas is constantly evolving. This means more and more new jobs are being created internally, which need to be filled with suitable candidates, not only from banking and finance. “In principle, we only advertise our jobs online. Time is an important factor for us here. That’s why we were looking for a solution that would allow us to speed up the job posting process, increase the efficiency of ad placement, and increase the reach and visibility of our ads to the desired target audience.”- Sina Drescher, Recruiter & HR Marketing Specialist at BNP Paribas.
Central coordination and control of recruiting processes
In the past, each HR team had posted job ads singularly and bought media individually. However, requesting and ordering job ads from each vendor was not only time-consuming but also made it difficult to monitor and evaluate media performance.
To optimize this strategy, BNP Paribas needed a solution to centrally coordinate all recruiting activities and manage media buying through one system.
“We wanted to consolidate recruiting activities even further. The best way to do that is if the recruiting units can access a common system that not only simplifies the posting of ads but also the buying of media, thereby reducing our expenses.” – Marc Stammer, Head of Recruiting, Internal Mobility & HR Marketing Germany & Austria
Success control and optimization
‘Post and pray’ has long been outdated in the recruitment industry. Only with transparent insights into the performance per medium is it possible for BNP Paribas to measure the success of advertisements transparently measurable and to draw logical conclusions for further advertisements. Therefore, the company was looking for an analytics solution that would make it possible to monitor media performance and optimize the process in this regard, reducing costs and time.
