We spoke to Lucinda Ehlen, Learning + Development Manager, America and Jessica Sharpe, Human Resources Professional, America about their reasons for turning to CareerArc’s social recruiting platform and their experiences leveraging it to tell Barilla’s employer brand story and get the jobs in front of candidates on company and personal social media channels.
“There has been a growing need at Barilla to further expand our employer branding and social recruiting efforts. We knew that to do it right, we had to apply a strategic approach that would bolster our content creation and distribution as well as streamline these new initiatives across multiple social platforms.”
Barilla’s results with CareerArc
“CareerArc has absolutely stepped up to the challenge: our employer brand and job postings have never before achieved the level of reach and exposure we are seeing today with CareerArc. By empowering our employees to engage with our content—which then amplifies our reach through their online connections—we witnessed firsthand the compounding effects of social recruiting done right. We were surprised to see just how much of an impact our own personal networks had in boosting our brand awareness.
