Employer branding and career website based on the international strategy
Welcome by modern banking
A top modern head office, the fourth largest bank in Europe with around 3,000 employees, and yet hardly recognized as an employer outside Mönchengladbach. As employer branding specialists, we were tasked with changing this perception. Based in Mönchengladbach and with a nationwide branch network, Santander offers exceptional career opportunities.

Employer branding rethought
Just don’t be like a bank
Many jobs at Santander are atypical for a bank: DevOps Engineers, Mobility Specialists, Call Center Agents …
This is exactly where our EVP comes in:
“Santander is more than just a bank: we are ‘Great Colleagues’ with different professions, skills and expectations. We are united by the desire to be successful as a team.
This became the connecting bracket:
#TheSantanderEffect. Together we achieve great things.individual messages derived for the target groups.
Career website
The new website
The strategic platform is the newly developed employer value proposition (EVP): “Shared responsibility and respect for clients and team as well as exceptional career opportunities outside the financial centers.”
Concept, design, content and SEO
We completely redeveloped and redesigned the website and implemented it technically with the internal IT department, which, among other things, set up an API to Workday.
- We developed a structure that creates space for the employer brand, target groups and jobs and enables targeted navigation
- The content pages follow a clearly structured layout, which promotes a high, generic ranking and thus reaches job seekers who enter via search engines
- We aligned the web design and artwork with the new employer branding and corporate design
- We developed a flexible target group approach across life stages (trainees, students, professionals), teams (technology, support, finance) and key topics (e.g. for IT, graduates)
- We create texts that are precisely tailored to individual target groups and provide strong keywords for SEO
