The Challenge

StarTran, Lincoln’s Public Bus Transportation, was shutting down routes due to a shortage of bus operators. In addition, they were breaking their budget with paid overtime hours. When faced with a hiring shortage in a highly competitive market, the City of Lincoln turned to our firm to recruit the right people, quickly. They had a government website without the extra personality they were looking for to attract the right applicants, they needed a landing page that would drive people to apply.

Next Stop: Strategy

This landing page needed to bring the StarTran culture to life with human photography, real-life messaging, and an experience that would drive bus operators to apply. As part of the Next Stop Campaign, we strategically targeted the right people for the job. In addition, we designed a moving bus that took the users through each of the following stops at nextstoplnk.com.

Stop 1 – On the Job Training
Stop 2 – Paid Vacation
Stop 3 – Incredible Health and Retirement Benefits
Stop 4 – An Office with a View
Stop 5 – Bus Operator Personalities
Stop 6 – Take the Wheel
Stop 7 – Career Options
Stop 8 – Diversity and Kind Communication
Stop 9 – Satisfaction and Stability

Results

After a highly successful paid social ad campaign leading applicants to our landing page, we were able to fill all open positions in two months! The city is using this site for ongoing recruitment efforts. Give it a scroll, you won’t be disappointed.
