Are you ready for 2017?

So…

How do we attract the right calibre of people to work in our businesses?

Are we relying too heavily on recruitment agencies to sell in our opportunities?

Recruiters can only do so much. If they are offering two or three roles to a great candidate, that candidate will do their research online (particularly millennials) and make judgements about your business very quickly, rightly or wrongly so.

That candidate will look at the website and social channels of each business and prioritise which one they favour based on what they see. So your brand (your shop window) will have a huge bearing on the candidate’s preferences. We work with companies every day to build their Employer Brands which help attract and retain the right people.

A poor quality brand will draw in poor quality applicants and vice versa, a great brand will attract great candidates. Your Employment Brand forms the foundation for an effective recruiting strategy and can make a significant difference in winning the war for talent. A strong employer brand aligns with your business, culture and reputation. It gives job seekers and candidates a realistic and authentic preview of working at your company.

’tis the season

We are coming up to the season where the job market is most active and New Year’s resolutions are made, New Year = New Job! People notoriously look for jobs in January, so if you’re looking to recruit the best people, you need the best brand to give you the best chance of future proofing your business.

Creating or re-defining an employer brand isn’t an easy task. It takes deep knowledge of the business and its mission, vision and values, and this is where we can help.

2017 is looming, so if you are interested in developing your Employer Brand to help you recruit and retain please talk to us, we’ll happily share our thoughts and help you on your journey.
