While some of them might offer great job openings, in an open-environment that promotes engaging work and encourages learning and development, if they haven\u2019t built a strong employer brand, they might be left sending countless emails to potential hires.<\/p>\n<p>Building an attractive employer brand is not only about attracting a few people for your current job openings. Instead, it\u2019s a long term effort to position your company as a brand that\u00a0people can relate to and want to build a relationship with. This goes for both potential employees as well as customers \u2013 they all want to know what your company really stands for, which means going on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Interview\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glassdoor<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0and listening to the inside voice of your company.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be successful at creating a strong employer brand, you need to look at potential employees as customers. You need to market your company. That means creating a strong value proposition, targeting your employee persona, engaging in online communication, leveraging different channels, and getting your message across.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 7 practical ideas to help you build an engaging employer brand and attract the right talent:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Convey your company values and vision<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t wait until the interview stage to talk about\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gethppy.com\/employee-engagement\/millennials-want-to-see-your-company-values\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what your company stands for<\/a>. Instead, open the communication lines way ahead of the application process and make a habit of demonstrating these values in day-to-day actions.<\/p>\n<p>Building a brand takes time and consistency, that\u2019s why you\u2019ll demonstrate integrity and inspire trust if you\u2019re truly committed to these values and people can see that.<\/p>\n<p>Your company\u2019s values should be aligned with the way people behave and talk about your organization. If one of your core values is innovation, this should be reflected in your recruitment campaigns and events.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Interact with potential hires early on<\/h2>\n<p>Get involved in university events for your industry, where you have a chance to meet your future employees. Get ahead of the common scenario where fresh graduates don\u2019t have the necessary experience or set of skills to get the job by offering learning and development opportunities that can help them become prepared candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Even if they won\u2019t end up applying for a job at your company right after graduation, you\u2019ll be one of the first brands to give them an idea of what the industry looks like and what their futures can shape up to be. In a year or two they\u2019ll still know of you and maybe then they\u2019ll apply for the right job or recommend it to a friend.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Your employees are your brand ambassadors \u2013 use that<\/h2>\n<p>Employee endorsements weigh more than a six-figure campaign budget because they\u2019re authentic. When someone recommends a company to a friend, they\u2019re staking their relationship on endorsing that company.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s good to have some guidelines about how your company should be presented or how it should be included in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.emergestudio.net\/blog\/dos-donts-social-media-your-company-employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social Media posts<\/a>, it\u2019s best to keep these indications to a minimum and allow employees to be creative and honest in their recommendations.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Host industry events<\/h4>\n<h4>5. Use and encourage feedback<\/h4>\n<h4>6. If you\u2019re hiring for attitude, recruit with attitude<\/h4>\n<h4>7.
