THE CHALLENGE
How to get big-city talent to a small town
As the business scaled, the Procore recruiting team was having difficulty finding talent with a background in technology, a passion for construction, and the desire to relocate to Carpinteria, California. The team needed to find a way to attract these highly sought-after candidates from bigger cities nearby, like Los Angeles and San Diego, to their small-town headquarters.
THE SOLUTION
The big draw is the beautiful beach
Procore implemented LinkedIn Recruiter to reach and educate potential candidates, and enlisted employees as brand ambassadors to post pictures and stories showcasing the company’s culture on its LinkedIn Career Page. Over time, this employee voice translated to a bigger branding program on LinkedIn, where pictures of beautiful Carpinteria, friendly office dogs, and a beach view from the conference room told the story of life at Procore–turning the challenging location into a key selling point.
