Short and concise

Thanks to its new career portal, authentic employer branding videos, and successful social recruiting, Karl von Drais achieved over 100 new hires. This allowed the premium bike store to build a cohesive employer brand and sustainably increase talent acquisition.

Premium Bike Culture Meets Apple Store Experience

Karl von Drais (KVD) is a modern premium bike store with three locations in the Frankfurt Rhein-Main area, offering high-end bicycles in a sleek, contemporary setting—almost like an Apple Store, but for bike enthusiasts. This modern approach needed to be reflected in the career portal that K&R developed for KVD. The goal was to create an engaging platform that appeals to bike mechanics, mechatronics experts, and service staff alike.

By incorporating authentic team photos and an emotional employer branding video, we captured the store’s dynamic work culture, ensuring that potential employees could experience the KVD atmosphere from the very first step of the application process.

Employer Branding in Action: Brand Shoot & Recruiting Portal

To create a genuine employer branding experience, we conducted a brand shoot featuring KVD employees, providing an authentic glimpse into their daily work. Additionally, we produced an image film where the team members themselves share their experiences, highlighting the unique work environment at KVD.

This visual content was seamlessly integrated into a custom-built career portal, designed as a conversion-optimized funnel, ensuring a smooth mobile application experience. With just a few clicks, potential candidates can submit their applications effortlessly—quick, barrier-free, and intuitive.

100+ New Employees: An Investment That Paid Off

To further expand KVD’s reach, we launched social recruiting campaigns that promoted the new career portal. The response was overwhelming—over 100 new employees were hired, significantly supporting KVD’s ambitious growth plans.

Beyond immediate recruitment success, the authentic online presence strengthened trust in the brand, positioning KVD as an attractive and forward-thinking employer. This investment didn’t just pay for itself—it multiplied and established a solid foundation for future growth.
