Your candidates want to know what it’s really like to work at your company. And who can tell this story better than the employees working at the company?
By using Team stories through the Teamtailor mobile app, your team can create their own content, sharing what it’s like working at your company. These stories will be available to all team members and can also be shared as content on your career site.
A Company Admin user needs to activate this feature in the Add-on feature center to get started
Create a Team story
Once activated, you can create a Team story in the Teamtailor mobile app from the top of the dashboard by tapping Create story.
Content / Appearance
When creating a story, you will be presented with the options to take a photo, record a video, or upload existing content. Note that camera and microphone access are required for new recordings.
Tap the shutter button to take a photo, or press and hold to record a video. Release to preview, discard it to try again, or proceed. Once you are happy with it, add a caption before publishing.
When you click Publish, you will be able to choose if the story should be available on the Career site and/or the Connect dashboard. The story will be connected to the department and location added in your user profile settings.
View Team stories
When an employee has shared a story, you can see it on the dashboard of your mobile app. While viewing it, you have the option of reacting with emojis and adding comments to engage with the story and show your support.
If your company has added the Team stories widget to the start page dashboard, you will also be able to view stories there.
Manage Team stories
When viewing a story as a Company Admin, you will be able to edit and manage it:
Edit caption: Edit the caption added to the story
Edit visibility / Delete story: Set if the story should be displayed on the Career site and/or the Connect dashboard, as well as under which location and department.
You will also find the options displayed for all users:
Engage with story: Add emoji reactions and comments to the story
View all stories: View all uploaded stories
Use Team stories for employer branding
Team Stories bring your team closer together while also helping you share authentic content with candidates. You can publish their stories on your career site, share them via Connect, or use both for maximum reach.
Encouraging different teams to create content adds value to your employer brand. For example, your Sales team can showcase their daily work, making the content especially relevant for candidates applying to their roles.
Using content created by your employees may come with legal responsibilities, like data protection rules. Make sure to check what applies to you before getting started with Team stories.
On your career site
Once you’ve enabled Team stories, you can display them in different areas of your career site for visitors.
A dedicated page is automatically created in the career site editor, making it easy to showcase your content.
You can also add Team stories as a content block on any page, for eg, on a Location or Department page.
Within the block, you can filter stories by department and location. This ensures that only relevant content is shown to visitors, based on the selected criteria.
In the example above, only Team stories published with the location Marketing will be displayed, disregarding the department selection.
In Connect
The second option is to display your Team stories in Connect, which means it will be displayed on the candidate's connect dashboard.
To keep the content relevant, the stories displayed for the connected candidate will match the settings of the candidate’s settings. So if the candidate chooses to connect with your Marketing department, they will see stories posted under Marketing (as well as general stories).
