McDonald's / People Arches

STEPiNSiDE McDonald's

A branded 5-kit JobBox and five immersive films shot on location, taken to careers fairs across the Midlands.

Challenge

The People Arches team wanted a way to stand out at recruitment fairs and give candidates a genuine sense of what it feels like to work within the McDonald's family of brands beyond the brochure.

What we delivered

A 5-kit JobBox with 5 x Meta Quest 3 headsets, branded with the People Arches and JobBox logos. One immersive 5-minute film plus four 1-minute job experience videos, each showing a different role. Shot on location.

Deployment

Taken to a careers fair at the University of Warwick and shown to the McDonald's team on site. It has since travelled to multiple events and continues to be used.

Reaction

Immediate and unanimous. Every member of the team who experienced it wanted to be in the next round of videos.

JobBox+ managed service

People Arches took up JobBox+ so we manage the headsets for them. New films, menu updates and event profiles are pushed remotely, while the headsets still run their existing apps and training tools. The kit is never locked to one piece of software.

Status

Live and active. Ongoing updates as deployment expands.

“The CEO of Mcdonalds absolutely loved it. Thank you.”
