Let’s Talk Career Site

9.
Once upon
a time…
• Provided basic information about the
company and our jobs (primarily MT,
Intern and Other)
• Consisted of stand-alone content
• Offered limited insight into the vast and
varied world of EHI
• Told the story very much from “our”
point of view

This is what we started with…

11.
Then we had an new website…
or rather, multiple websites

Clearly some clarity was called for
to cut through the confusion

Let’s Talk Media

32.
Once upon
a time…
• Posting on job boards
• Company structure dictated a large
investment and lots of postings
• Inconsistent branding
• Started to measure KPI of CPH; but did
not set expectation, just awareness
M E D I A S T R A T E G Y

33.
Media evolution

34.
The happily
ever after
• Measuring hires and CPH to position
results for the position the posting was
promoting
• Looking at products individually, eg.
banner ad vs job posting
• Continuing to measure KPIs – now app
to hire, cost per MT hire and percent of
MT hires
• FY18 media plan shift, setting
benchmarks with medias, providing
transparency to our data

Media Investments

36.
Methodology
for Media Goals
• 2017 – the first year PPC was
a majority investment as part of
the MT hiring initiative
• Goals were set in regards to
MT hire volume as well as
cost-per-hire efficiency
• Monthly reviews with vendors
to strong performance and
improvements where necessary
• FY17 data fed directly into setting
FY18 considerations and goals
• All of this is with the idea that
we will run the same set-up as
the previous year, and should
maintain the same (if not improve)
performance

Let’s Talk Social

39.
Once upon
a time…
• Started with a Facebook Careers profile
in 2009, following the lead of other
companies
• No real strategy, content calendar, etc.
• Began with employee stories and career
tip articles – when we could find them
• By 2011, social’s continued growth
started to define our strategy

In Conclusion
• Never stop trying to evolve – however
minor
• Adopt an always-on strategy across
every space you play in
• Measure what matters: work throughout
your organization to define priorities,
then once results start coming in you
can confidently add or remove
• Show (don’t tell) what is authentic to
you, and don’t force it. A great story will
always unfold naturally
