Maersk Drilling – Recruiting your candidates via Facebook

Komfo Social Challange, March 5th 2015 Fredrik Tukk, Head of Communication, Branding & Marketing

Situation…

•  Growth strategy to double the size of the company – need 3,000 new employees

•  Unstructured website with outdated content – recruitment channel for applicants

•  15,000 unique visitors/month spent less than 2 minutes

•  No competitors had established social media presence

•  Developed a Social Media strategy to recruit people via social media

Challenges…

•  Number 10 in the market place

•  Senior management resistance

•  Getting HR on-board

•  What to communicate?

•  Which channels?

“You can’t recruit people via Facebook – it’s unprofessional and for private use only”

# Branding online – we don’t publish job ads # Storytelling – let your employees speak # Online Strategy = Corporate Strategy # Campaigns – targeted recruitment # EVP – develop it through dialogue # Success is measured – engagement of key target groups # From Corporate Communication to people-to-people stories # Organic growth - haven’t bought likes/fans/followers Employer Branding = Marketing = Communication
