About NORMAL

NORMAL is a Danish-owned retail chain that has grown since its start in 2013 with over 6,800 employees and 400 stores across Europe. Through their unique store labyrinths, NORMAL invites the customer to go on a treasure hunt among both known and unknown brands. In order to offer its shopping experience to even more people around Europe, NORMAL is constantly looking for new dedicated employees who love to deliver excellent service.

Objectives & Goals

  • To reach out with NORMAL's vacancies to both active and passive candidates with an interest in service and retail
  • To increase the number of relevant applications for NORMAL's vacancies

Solution

To quickly and effectively attract more engaged employees to their existing stores and new openings around Sweden, NORMAL chose to use our popular Boost advertising solution. By targeting engaging and inspiring social media ads to people with an interest in service and retail, NORMAL increased its visibility with both active and passive candidates.

Results

In a short time, the advertising has had a strong impact and helped NORMAL to increase the number of relevant applications for its vacancies. On average, the campaigns have resulted in 38,089 ad views, 754 visits, 113 applications and a fill rate of 88% per post.

"Working with We Select is both smart and convenient! Best of all, we reach the right candidates with our ads. Just since the start of the partnership, our recruitment has been easier and easier – as our increased visibility has also created interest from top candidates who are not actively looking for new jobs." – Susanne Lange, People & Performance Partner at NORMAL
