Euro RSCG Check-in

Guerilla recruitment via social channels is gaining popularity amongst leading agencies. In this recent example Euro RSCG Brussels has used Foursquare to seek out digital talent.

The team at Euro RSCG drove around Brussels everyday and checked in at all leading agencies. After they became the ‘Mayor’ of the targeted agencies, they released their recruitment messages… 🙂

Other examples of agencies using social media to attract talent are:

Trojan Art Director Recruiting

Jung von Matt is once again looking for talent and this time its Art Directors. Living up to their famed creative reputation, they have once again devised a cheeky little way of poaching talent from their competition. 😆

This time they have used “Trojan horses” i.e. 15 well-known photographers who show their work regularly to the best creative agencies in Germany. Their job ads were integrated into the portfolios of these well-known photographers as an inscription on a bus, a graffiti on a wall or a stitchery on a pullover.

Draftfcb: In your face!

Draftfcb Germany is the latest ad agency to join the trend of tactically using social media for their recruitment purposes. In their case they managed to successfully use Facebook’s new profile design to viral their requirements to a large select advertising audience!

Jung Von Matt is another German ad agency, that has also successfully used Facebook for their recruitment needs.
