How we collected 65 CVs in 14 days for an interim office in Antwerp
š The challenge
A retail chain with several branches in East Flanders was at a loss. The job had been online on VDAB and other job boards for weeks, but the number of responses was pitifully low. The candidates who did apply were often not available or not motivated.
The internal HR team had little time to keep searching, following up or screening manually.
š MediaGuru's approach
We started with a quick job intake and determined together with the client which profiles they needed. Within 48 hours, the campaign went live.
Our approach had three components:
Social media ads aimed at active and passive jobseekers in the Ghent region
A clever landing page with a short motivation question + automatic follow-up via WhatsApp and e-mail
Automatic CV request with interested parties - with one click
All applicants automatically entered a dashboard, including answers to screening questions.
š What made the difference?
š± Automatic follow-up: Candidates immediately received a WhatsApp or e-mail message, without HR having to do anything.
ā” No waste of time: Only motivated candidates submitted their CVs independently.
š§ Quick overview: HR could easily filter candidates based on answers and CVs.
