Your company\u2019s employer brand matters to the majority of people who apply to work with you. In fact, a CareerArc study found that 75 percent of job seekers<\/a> consider an employer\u2019s brand before they even begin the application process. On top of that, LinkedIn reports that a strong employer brand can reduce your cost-per-hire by as much as 50 percent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Discover more about what an employer brand is, and how it can help you hire the best and brightest.<\/p>\n

Branding Matters if You Want Quality Recruits<\/h4>\n

\"Team<\/a><\/p>\n

How an Employer Brand is Different from Product Brand<\/h4>\n

An employer brand is what both working and non-working professionals think about your company as a place to work. People don\u2019t clamor to sign on with brand powerhouses like Google, Apple and Facebook simply because they\u2019re passionate about search engines, social networking or minimalist smartphone design. They\u2019ve been wooed by the image<\/a> these companies project\u2014that they\u2019re great places to work.<\/p>\n

In fact, CEO and President of APA Solutions and human capital consultant,\u00a0Joan Graci, recently shared with Forbes that less than 30 percent<\/a> of the working population is concerned with the product brand of their employer. Instead, most employees are focused on the employer brand itself.<\/p>\n

Turn Employees into Recruiters<\/h4>\n

The benefits of a positive company culture reach far beyond your current employees. When employees enjoy their work environment and identify with your employment brand, they become recruiters for your company. When people enjoy their jobs, they want to ensure that the people who positively contribute to the culture will join.<\/p>\n

Extend Your Reach<\/h4>\n

While the majority of the workforce isn\u2019t actively looking for a new job<\/a>, a sizable chunk of people are open to new professional endeavors. This means that although many of the best potential hires won\u2019t see your posting, they aren’t against change.<\/p>\n

This is where a strong employment brand truly stands out in your recruitment efforts. Once you\u2019ve put in the work and developed a culture that people are not just aware of, but also aspire to join, even passive candidates will come to you.<\/p>\n

Combat Negative Reviews<\/h4>\n

Even the best company in the world is going to experience former employees spewing negative reviews once in a while. Sites like Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and CareerBliss feature these reviews and are popular resources for those searching for work. These negative reviews are especially prevalent among fired employees, as many\u00a0of them<\/a> will give you a negative review.<\/p>\n

Luckily, a strong employer brand provides you with a cushion of positive reviews to fall back on. Encourage your team to post honest reviews to these sites. This ensures that people can obtain a better idea of what your employment culture is truly like.<\/p>\n

You Can Be Picky<\/h4>\n

Best of all? When everyone wants to work for you, you can pick from the cream of the crop. When your pool of potentials is filled with only the most qualified candidates, you can focus more on culture fit. This further solidifies all the work you\u2019ve done to build your employer brand.<\/p>\n
