Identifying Your Employer Brand

SethAdvertising, Market Information, Research Leave a Comment

Branding is quite arguably the most important aspect of any business, no matter how large or small. A company’s brand goes well beyond just a logo and a slogan. A brand is a promise you make to your customer. With an understanding of your brand, your customer will know what to expect when it comes to interacting with your business or purchasing products and services. Your brand is who you are, who you want to be and what you are perceived to be. That perception is from the eyes of your customers. But what does your brand look like from the viewpoint of potential employees? If you have never thought about your employer brand, now is the time.

A solid employer brand will ensure that candidates are a perfect fit with the organization. Similarly, your employer brand is an opportunity to allow potential applicants who don’t fit your organization’s culture to opt out. An employer brand brings you quality candidates quicker. The truth is that you can’t afford NOT to have a well-defined employer brand. A report by CareerBuilder states that businesses lose more than $14,000 for each position that remains vacant for three months or more. A study conducted by recruitment firm Hudson RPO reveals that firms with strong employer brands saw revenues increase by 20% while companies with weak employer brands grew by only 8%.
