Job ads written by people who never did the job? Not at Lidl, where 100 store employees wrote what their job is really like.
What we did
Creative concept Production Design
Challenge
Does the job match the description?
60% of Belgians have felt a gap between what a job promised and the reality. So, it’s time to get real. We asked store employees to review the job ads for Store Employee and Assistant Store Manager. In the first campaign wave, colleagues openly critique the very texts that describe their jobs.
Concept
Breaking standards
For the second wave, we teamed up with Who Owns The Zebra, the digital expert within the 62MILES group. They built and trained a language model that turned input from 100 employees into two new, radically honest job ads. Those texts became the campaign, in OOH and online.
The new job descriptions show the job as it really is. Candidates know exactly what to expect. And that’s the point. Not necessarily more applicants, just the right ones.
