FAQs

Questions?
We’ve got you.

What is employer branding, and why is it important?

Employer branding is how your organization gets perceived as a place to work, both internally and externally. It affects who applies, who accepts offers, and who stays with the company. A strong employer brand helps attract better talent, reduce hiring costs, and improve employee retention. In competitive markets, it directly impacts your ability to build the team you need.

When does a company need to invest in talent branding or recruitment marketing?

Talent branding should start early, even from day one. As companies grow, it evolves in phases, from basic job listings and careers pages to more advanced storytelling, EVP development, and recruitment marketing campaigns.

How does talent branding support hiring and retention?

A strong talent brand attracts candidates who align with your culture and values, improves candidate quality, and reinforces engagement and retention by setting clear, authentic expectations.

What channels matter most for talent attraction today?

It depends entirely on the business and where your target candidates spend their time. The right channels vary by role, industry, seniority, and geography.

Can talent branding improve candidate quality, not just volume?

Yes. Effective talent branding and attraction focuses on attracting the right candidates, not just more candidates, leading to better alignment, stronger hires, and lower turnover.
