Employer Brand: How to Attract and Retain Top Talent

Every business leader wants to know how to attract and retain top talent and while there are several ways to do this, in today’s competitive market, your employer brand is vital. But what is an employer brand and why does it matter? We’re here to discuss what is it, why you need a strong one, and how we can help you build it.

What is an Employer Brand?

Your employer brand is the way that the marketplace views your company. This can cover everything from perceived values to your company’s reputation overall. We can all think of employers that are known for treating their employees well, like Patagonia. In fact, over 90% of employees have called it a great place to work. That type of visibility, robust public perception, staying true to their mission, and really satisfied employee feedback act as currency when they want to hire. It also makes current employees think twice before they look elsewhere. But, you don’t have to be a huge company to take advantage of the concept of an employer brand. Your brand can be built through trust, relational equity, and having the right leadership in place.

Why Do You Need a Strong Employer Brand?

Job seekers are savvier than ever. They spend time reading reviews, looking at your business’s online presence, and evaluating your company as they move through the hiring and onboarding process. It’s an employee’s market. This means they probably have several options and it gives them decision-making power. Your brand is what differentiates you from all the other businesses that are also recruiting. Employees want to know: why should they work for you? Having a strong brand will set you up as a top choice from the beginning in the mind of job seekers.
