Federal Police

Recruitment Marketing

Attracting diverse profiles is one of the biggest challenges for the Federal Police. Not because of the recruitment process, but because of the stereotype of what ‘a police inspector’ looks like.

Challenge

When stereotypes become a recruitment problem

Too few women, older candidates and people with diverse backgrounds apply. Not because they’re rejected, but because they think they don’t fit. In reality, the selection process is clear and objective: meet the criteria, pass the tests, you’re in.

Concept

The sporty young guy?

We made the stereotype visible. We asked people who they think an inspector is, and then confronted them with their own default answer. After the awareness film, we moved into consideration with two inspectors who don’t match the cliché. They tackle every prejudice, head-on.

Result

We proved the uniform isn’t made for one type of person, but for anyone who has what it takes.
