The ContextAll Options thrived on its junior traders. The best traders? They were the profiles sought after by every financial institution and consultancy.
The requirements for new traders:• Master’s degree level in physics, applied maths or a hard science, ideally.• Interested in finance, with some knowledge of market dynamics,
commercially minded, with business acumen. • Self-motivated, passionate, adaptable, focused, analytical, innovative and
technologically adept.• Emotionally? Well as one VP of Trading said: “These guys need to be
apathic enough to bounce back from a huge loss by the next morning, and empathic enough to work seamlessly in teams.”
Basically, the top-class talent that every major organisation wants in their graduate / management programs.

Why so special?It was the year 2009 and creating an integrated employer journey using several innovative elements:
• Truly scalable engagement via gamified assessments – Strike!• Targeting based on personality traits and behavioral principles• Behind-the-scenes interactive video-story platform• Outreach via student ambassador program + guest lectures• Offline activation with targeted events and sponsorships• Scaling online reach with Facebook advertising
The gap: There was a missed opportunity to interact with students early and engage them longer. This was about building groundswell desire that would outlast other recruiters’ graduation-only focus and activities.

Before you start: PREPBefore starting these elements below need to be assessed, examined and defined:
Perception [Brand image: existing associations among employees, labour market and consumer market]Reputation [Brand strength, commitment]Experience [Brand experience: journey, CX, interactions]Proposition [Brand purpose and value]
These can be easily assessed via gathering employee insights from various data points, qualitative and quantitive.
