Leverage your brand
“Your brand is the single most important investment you can make in your business.” (Steve Forbes) The same holds true when it comes to your investment in recruitment branding.
- Promote your employment brand, relentlessly on all communications, including social: Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Share both personal and professional experiences. It’s what connects us to our world.
- Give people a reason to connect with your employment brand through all of your media channels—and they’ll share your organic, clever content with their friends and colleagues.
- Be sure to promote your organization’s unique employment value proposition at every touchpoint with consistency in style, tone and messaging.
