Powering early careers recruitment to broaden the reach

Challenge

HSF Kramer is a legal global powerhouse and renowned for its positive culture, which aligns the growth and ambition of its people, with that of the firm. A firm that’s the sum of its people, recruiting and retaining great people who will contribute to the culture and success of the firm is key. An early careers and graduate recruitment campaign was required: one that would resonate globally.

Solution

Our starting point was the positioning we’d previously developed for the global employer brand: ‘Your growth. Our ambition’. We reflected this – visually and in messaging – with an approach that juxtapositions the different attributes that define life and a career in the firm. We informed and tested the concepts with teams globally, ensuring what was developed resonated and could be adopted everywhere. Bringing it to life, we started with film, simultaneously shooting stills and then moved onto 2D design. Reflecting the experiences of trainees and the senior colleagues working closely with them.

Client feedback

It’s been an outstanding experience … what stood out most was their collaborative approach, as they worked seamlessly with our teams, responding quickly to feedback and consistently delivered under tight timelines. The new campaign has been extremely well received internally and externally, with global offices adopting the refreshed messaging and visuals far more quickly than usual.
