Developing innovative solutions for unique challenges
Guidance Through a Major Reorganization
A large professional services firm announced a major reorganization. Veris Insights helped to assess student awareness of the pending change and their sentiments toward it. Their Strategy Lead led presentations and strategy sessions to help craft focused messaging in the next recruiting cycle.
Overcoming Less Desirable Locations
A Fortune 100 CPG company struggled to recruit tech and diverse students to its headquarters given its non-desirable location. Veris Insights armed the recruiting team with data to level-set with internal stakeholders and identified winning factors to emphasize to overcome location concerns.
Strategically Redirected Marketing Budget
Veris Insights uncovered a bank’s misspent advertising budget. Despite high expenses and team time dedicated to a social media strategy, the ads played poorly with students. Veris Insights data convinced employer branding leaders to reposition efforts and dollars into more favorable channels.
Building a More Inclusive Internship
Veris Insights identified a poor sense of belonging among a Fortune 200 MedTech company’s internship. Data cut by race and gender convinced leaders to support an extensive ERG mentorship program. Belonging and inclusion rating–and conversion–increased the following summer.
Sell Strategies by Candidate Profile
Veris Insights provided a Fortune 300 financial services firm with one-pagers for each of its major candidate profiles. That way, when a recruiter or hiring manager was speaking to women tech students, they knew precisely which proven talking points to focus on and how to overcome objections.
Supporting EVP Across the Enterprise
A Fortune 150 tech company was redeveloping its EVP. Veris Insights leveraged its existing EVP survey instrument frameworks and custom member inputs to study its employer brand amongst campus and experienced talent, delivering detailed, actionable briefs.
