Walmart is the largest retailer and private employer in the world, and a leader in corporate philanthropy and employment opportunity. The retail giant struggled to locate applicants to meet its distribution center needs. Additional challenges included an increased e-commerce demand and the regional concentration of competitor fulfillment centers.

  • Target applicants most likely to fill open positions in a long-term capacity.
  • Increase applicant pipeline by using incentivized marketing.
  • Employ a benefit-centered approach that used localized messaging of positions and event details.
  • Combine our efforts with Walmart branded creative and corporate-approved content.

  • Identified and appealed to applicants most likely to respond.
  • Decreased total time investment and overall spend by distribution center human resources managers.
  • Significantly reduced time to find and hire employees.
  • Implemented a benefits-oriented approach to all communications.
