McCain Foods

Real food, real people, authentic engagement

Brand

McCain® Foods was started in 1957 by the McCain brothers, in New Brunswick and is proudly Canadian and family owned. By embracing its entrepreneurial innovative beginnings, McCain Foods has grown significantly over the years. Its products are now available in more than 160 countries. McCain’s purpose remains the same today as it did when it started: to create real food for real life. Today they are a global leader in prepared potato products with 51 plants around the globe.

To meet growing recruitment needs locally in Canada and across the globe, the organization recognized the value of tying up with a strategic talent acquisition partner. One that could align recruitment strategy to overall business goals and leverage the latest recruiting trends and results.

 

Strategy

With a clear plan of action, we embarked on the journey to scale the brand locally and globally. Our team recommended and implemented an end-to-end recruiting solution that promoted roles ranging from outreach and sales to senior-level managers. The creatives depicted images of the globe on everyday use food items to reinforce McCain’s purpose – “creating real connections, with real people creating and promoting planet-friendly food.” The website and other marketing collateral ticked all the right boxes including DEI and the “be part of our family” messaging. With sales in over 160 countries with 51 production facilities around the world, candidates could broaden their experience across functions, countries, regions and even globally. And still, bring their most authentic selves to work.

Outcome

Employer branding is a critical aspect of any organization’s HR strategy. The campaign had a positive impact on McCain’s ability to attract and select the best candidates for its open positions. And also led to increased brand recognition in existing and new markets. McCain was able to hire a diverse pool of candidates and, many immediate-need positions were filled within two months. Additionally, the process helped to improve employee engagement and satisfaction, resulting in increased productivity and overall performance.
