Searching for top talent?

Competition for top talent has never been higher than it is today for employers, so what can companies do to make sure their brand stands out? How does one differentiate itself from the sea of competition on LinkedIn™? What can you do to set your company apart from other employers recruiting for the same positions?

Employer branding is the answer. But what is employer branding, exactly?

An employer’s brand is how a company is perceived as an employer by its current employees, the general public, and potential job candidates. Employer branding is the process and strategy used to shape and influence that perception.

Employer branding done well can help you…

…get up to 4x as many applications as companies with negative brands
…decrease recruitment costs by as much as 43%
…attract talent faster and mobilize them to apply to your roles.

Many factors contribute to an employer’s brand, but some of the most important include:

Company culture. How does your organization treat its candidates, employees, clients, and other stakeholders? What's it like to work there and be a part of the team?
Values and mission statement. Do the company's actions align with the values it espouses? Do employees believe in the mission statement?
Work-life balance. Does the company offer flexible work hours, remote work options, and other policies that support a healthy work-life balance that may be attractive to newcomers
Benefits and perks. What kind of benefits and perks does the company offer? How do they compare to other companies in a similar industry/space?

Too many companies are hoping to attract top talent without first taking a good, hard look at their employer brand. They don’t realize that potential candidates are looking for more than just a paycheck; they’re looking for a quality end-to-end experience. A company with a strong employer brand (not just a logo and a sleek website) will have an easier time recruiting and retaining top talent because its employees will be proud to work there and tell their friends about it.
