Creating an engaging careers platform with a refreshed employer brand
UK Tote Group, is the UK’s leading pool betting operator with almost 100 years’ heritage.
THE CHALLENGE
Tote had large requirements for candidates across the business, with a particular demand within their IT and Data teams. They were competing for talent with well-known names in tech, and often perceived as just a “gambling company” which created barriers for attracting candidates.
Tote also wanted a full Employer Branding refresh to reflect life at Team Tote in an authentic way.
THE SOLUTION
We took the time to understand their business, products, vision and values with great knowledge of the technologies they work with. The Holler team conducted a full employer brand strategic audit, to discover the existing employer brand and help shape this into a defined proposition. This included:
- Employer brand kick-off session.
- Reviewing current employer brand and talent acquisition activities.
- Competitor analysis.
- Built and populated the Team Tote Careers Hub.
- EVP research and survey sent to the internal Employer Branding team.
- Assigning an Account Manager, sending over cover letters with every CV and detailed feedback following interviews.
Based upon these findings we worked closely with the internal team to shape “TeamTote” with:
- New EVP, employer brand architecture and brand guidelines.
- Embedded font and colour scheme into new employer branding guidelines.
- Through the careers hub allowed candidates to understand who Tote were
- Created content to highlight that Tote was not just another ‘gambling’ company, highlighting ways they protect customers, support British horseracing and invest into theirpeople
THIS WAS BROUGHT TO LIFE THROUGH:
- Careers page
- Employer brand workshop
- Calendar content plan
- Employee activation using #TeamTote
- Blog series
- Targeted paid social to increase employer brand visibility to the target candidate demographic
