Build a Trustworthy and Authentic Employer Brand to win the Talent war
It’s true that people are drawn to great companies. However, no company or brand is perfect. Every job and every employer has its challenges, so job seekers need to be aware of this.
Although it may be tempting to try to make your brand shine, it is better to create an authentic brand that represents the company’s core values and not just show off.
Here are some ways you can do it:
Make sure you have internal alignment.
Make sure everyone is aware of the importance of this:
- Understanding your company’s vision, mission and branding goals.
- Find out why your company is unique and why it is a great place for work.
- Understanding your communication best practices and policies
- What is your company’s “elevator pitch?”
- Can communicate responsibly, especially via social media.
See what it’s like to work there.
It’s easy to build a brand by sharing videos of facility/office tours, interviews with employees and “meet our team” content. Transparency for job seekers increases trust in your ability to be transparent.
Don’t try to fake it.
It’s not a good idea to gloss over culture issues or portray a perfect image of your company. This will only lead to problems. It’s OK to acknowledge some negative aspects. This will make your message more convincing. If you are trying to improve in certain areas, let them know and tell us why.
