Job, Career, Or Calling? Which Employee Do You Want?

We all know the success of a company rests largely on the quality of its employees. Often referred to as an organization's greatest asset, the talent we bring onboard can directly impact the pace and magnitude of a company's growth and profitability. So, why aren't more companies focused on Employment Branding as a way to attract better employees? I think most executive teams don't really understand how Employment Branding works. They see recruiting as an expense - and since Employment Branding is about capturing the attention of talent, they assume it's an expense as well.


But It's Not - Here's Why...

Employment Branding is a marketing tool that grows more effective over time. It is the process of showcasing your company in a way that will make a better quality of job candidate knock on your door and ask for a job. It involves creating a set of digital assets that get circulated and re-circulated throughout the Internet as a way to drive more and more talented individuals to your doorstep. In the same way a company invests in the development of its product or service's reputation as a way to attract more customers, today a company must also invest in the development of its Employment Brand as a way to attract the best employees.
