Recruiting done right at Deutsche Bahn

In two Snapchat takeovers, the Deutsche Bahn Karriere Snapchat account accompanied apprentices Dana and Fatmir for one whole day - from breakfast to end of work. The focus was to give the followers an authentic and exclusive insight into their everyday tasks and experiences, thus presenting Deutsche Bahn as a very down-to-earth and "real" employer for future apprentices.

Dana & Dilan
The ads were 10 seconds long and featured Dana and Dilan, two DB apprentices who work in different fields. They addressed their interests and talents and framed them in a positive way. The twist: Their strengths might not everywhere be considered a good thing. DB saw the power of this approach and focused on strengths rather than weaknesses.  The videos had a voiceover recording and after a swipe up you accessed the DB career page for pupils.
