You know how to get stories… and here’s how you’d modify your interview process to get stories for RM
Behavorial based interviews
You’re used to getting nervous people comfortable (our tips//prep)
The over prepared candidate isn’t always the best on camera storyteller
Lean into generic (like what I did up front)
Encourage people to open up (thumbs up)

Surprising outcomes!
all the content created: 10 videos, photo library, a quiz with more stories and 9 snippet videos, blog posts from transcripts
Because quizzes are one of the most sharable forms of content on the internet (and a great way to capture the attention of those millenials), we’ve also incorporated the raw footage into a quiz (Made with QZZR).
Candidates can explore what type of Sodexo difference-maker they are!
- Both posts targeted women from 21-64 in the U.S.
As we’ve started sharing our stories across the Sodexo Careers social media channels, something pretty fantastic happened: other Sodexo employees – both current and former – began providing their own perspectives on life at Sodexo!
It’s another case where when one story ends, another begins!
