Hyposwiss

Recruitment Ads

Private Swiss bank, Hyposwiss needed to recruit staff. Not just any staff, but the right kind of staff. Potential applicants needed to fit in with the bank’s down-to-earth attitude and solid values. So, unlike most job advertisements for the banking sector, walker took another route. They created a series of classified ads in Switzerland’s most widely read weekend

recruitment sections that appealed directly to the type of person who believes that banking is all about private jets, grabbing a piece of the pie and a possessing a get rich quick mentality. Those applicants taken in by the talk of jets and big bonuses were, alas, disappointed to discover that Hyposwiss wasn’t the bank for them.
