Employer Branding:
What Is It? Why Does It Matter?
Employer branding is more important, varied, and critical than you might initially think. But what is employer branding, really?
Employer branding is your reputation as an employer made visible. At Intelligent Employment, we turn that reputation into results. We create on brand static and video content, run PPC campaigns to reach the right candidates, and optimise your LinkedIn company page and key profiles. Every activity is tracked from click to application so you see conversion improve and cost per apply fall, delivered with the discretion and subtlety that strategic recruitment requires.
The Importance of Employer Branding: Why It Matters
Stellar employer branding attracts top talent like bees to honey.
Smart employer branding strategies can substantially cut down hiring costs.
An impressive employer brand grandly influences company reputation in the market.
Top talent seeks employers with strong branding, which attracts and retains industry leaders. A robust employer brand not only draws but also keeps employees satisfied, minimizing turnover.
A strong employer brand speeds up hiring by attracting more applicants to job postings, allowing you to quickly and efficiently fill positions as your company stands out to proactive candidates.
Successful employer branding highlights your company's positive work environment, benefits, and growth opportunities, providing candidates compelling reasons to join and showcasing what they can expect as employees.
A company's reputation, shaped by its employer brand, influences employees, potential hires, consumers, investors, and the media, enhancing the overall perception and identity of the business.
A strong employer brand reduces recruitment costs and attracts top candidates who may accept lower salaries for the benefit of growth and a sense of purpose.
Trust and loyalty, crucial for employee relationships, are fostered by a strong employer brand through consistency, respect, and value, enhancing your company's broader reputation and steering it towards success.
