Intel runs targeted campaigns with data-led insights.
SUCCESS STORY
Facing a shortage of programmers and a limited recruitment budget at its offices in Poland, Jakub Skalik and Intel engineering needed a strategy for adding to the team. Market data from LinkedIn Talent Insights helped craft a successful—and cost effective—recruitment campaign that drew applicants from a nearby city.
THE CHALLENGE
Overcoming a shortage of specialized skills
Intel was dealing with a shortage of C and C++ programmers at its offices in Poland, and had very little budget allocated for recruitment. Talent Attraction & Lead Generation Specialist, Jakub Skalik, felt there might be programmers in nearby cities but needed to better understand the talent and competitive landscape to create a recruitment strategy.
THE SOLUTION
Uncovering—and targeting—a nearby talent pool
Skalik found large populations of individuals skilled in C and C++ programming languages in nearby cities by conducting searches using LinkedIn Talent Insights. Competitive data revealed that programmers were working across many different companies in Warsaw, but in Krakow they were concentrated in only a few, indicating demand might be lower there. To make the most of his limited budget, Skalik crafted a billboard campaign and recruitment event for Krakow and, armed with data supporting this strategy, received buy-in from engineering leadership. The campaign led to a 20% increase in visits to Intel’s career site.
