When you think about the American Heart Association, you might imagine a fundraising company, when in reality, it’s a full-blown multifaceted corporate organization. Even with a great career site, one roadblock that the American Heart Association continued to run up against was the misconception that their jobs were centered around volunteer or fundraising positions. This ultimately impacted their ability to reach the technology and business-focused job seekers they were hoping to attract. With the help of Recruit Rooster, the American Heart Association was able to bring their career site up to speed with their corporate goals and focus their recruitment on values-based topics. While the film crew’s initial visit was before the pandemic, they were still able to adapt the content to fit COVID hiring initiatives. The final career site not only included authentic imagery and heartwarming employee testimonials, but also bold statements that spoke to the heart of what the American Heart Association employees are all about.
