Build trust with employee testimonials and storytelling content

Share real employee stories through video and written content to improve credibility and conversion.

Employee Testimonials & Storytelling Content That Builds Candidate Trust

Trust is the biggest conversion lever in recruitment. Candidates want to know what it’s really like—not what a job description claims. Employee storytelling bridges that gap by showing real experiences, real teams and real environments.

We capture employee testimonials and stories through video and written content that can be used across ads, landing pages, email campaigns and careers pages. This content improves credibility, helps the right candidates self-select, and reduces drop-off caused by uncertainty.

Better storytelling doesn’t just increase applications—it improves quality. Candidates who resonate with your real culture are more likely to show up, perform and stay.

Problems

With Employee testimonials & storytelling content we help to solve:

New starters don’t stick, forcing you into a costly, never-ending cycle of hiring.

Testimonials

Customer testimonials

What transport and logistics teams say about working with McRoberts - faster hiring, better-fit candidates, and a more reliable process.

Tristan Davis

Head of Recruitment & Training

First Bus London

'When we started with McRoberts we had a serious driver shortage, with 500 vacancies to fill. It's no overstatement to say that the McRoberts team solved that problem. At our peak we have been hiring 60 new drivers per month - the results have been exceptional. But beyond the results, the level of customer services is beyond anything else I've seen or expected. Joe and the team are always quick to respond, and they always find a solution. As a business we believe that the work by the McRoberts team put us in a much stronger position to sell the business when we were acquired by First Bus. Thank you Joe and team.'

Product Manager - Outsized & Aerospace Division

Wallenborn

'We are very happy with McRoberts - they helped us hire 3 HGV Drivers within 3 weeks, much faster than we expected. We are impressed with the results because we were looking for very specialised drivers with wide-load and EU experience. We liked that the whole campaign was done using our branding, and they also introduced us to a totally new approach to recruitment, which has changed how we think about our hiring strategy. Thanks Joe and the team!'
