Problem: The unemployment rate in Germany has fallen to a record low. No wonder Germany’s biggest discounter PENNY was having a hard time filling its over 1900 vacancies. Conventional recruiting measures simply didn’t do the job anymore. Idea: To integrate real job offers into a reality tv series. Implementation: We teamed up with the screenwriters of Germany’s most popular scripted reality show “Köln 50667” and developed and produced a tailormade recruiting scene. During the scene viewers were encouraged to whatsapp Alex, the PENNY employee, for a direct application for the job offered in the scene. A chatbot, perfectly imitating Alex, handled the whole application process at eye level. In addition to the job from the show, similar vacancies in the user’s neighborhood were offered. Results: With 4 tv airings we reached 3,8 million viewers generating 26.016 unique chatbot interactions with a total of 38.132 minutes. But most importantly we provided 186 people with a job at PENNY. And this was only the beginning: Because of the campaign’s huge success, RTL2 is offering Reality TV Recruiting to other companies.
