STEP 1: Analysis of the current situation

Social Media Interaction

Corporate brand, employer brand and competitors

Every company is different, so our development process for an employer branding strategy is always individual. But in any case, our experts thoroughly familiarize themselves with your corporate brand, because it overlaps with your employer brand. We also review all relevant brand information, e.g. values and benefits; we are also happy to review the results of employee satisfaction surveys and look at your most important competitors. If an employer brand already exists, we take it on and check the match between corporate and employer brand.
We use tools such as interviews with relevant stakeholders and online surveys to determine the internal status quo of your employer brand.

Employee surveys

With the right employee survey, our employer branding consultants can help you find out what your team appreciates or criticizes about your employer brand, what your company's culture actually looks like, and what experiences shape the candidate and employee journey. Find out how your colleagues are doing in terms of employee satisfaction!

An employee survey can be part of a strategy process or stand alone as a flash to learn more about how your employer brand is perceived without having to initiate an extensive employer branding process.

STEP 2: Employer Branding Strategy Development

Target group analysis - applicants and employees

We analyze both your applicant target groups and the employee target group: What are their needs? What is important to them and what don't they like at all? We also investigate which channels are best suited to reach them. Based on these findings, we create detailed target group descriptions, also known as candidate personas. This allows us to convey the desired image of your target group in a targeted manner and develop a successful employer branding strategy.

Positioning workshop and EVP development

In a workshop with the relevant stakeholders of your company, we refine the Employer Value Proposition (EVP) together with you against the background of the as-is analysis. We fix all defined brand information in a brand book.

Frequently asked questions on the topic of employer branding strategy

 

What elements does an employer branding strategy consist of?

From at least four content statements: An employer brand strategy paper contains the information on the target persons in the form of candidate personas, on the employer value proposition (EVP) and information on the corporate and management culture. And ideally also the formulation of the higher meaning (Purpose). 

Can you give me an example of a purpose?

Imagine your company produces intelligent locking systems for private homes. Your purpose could then be "We make your family feel safe and carefree at home". 

What is a Candidate Persona?

The persona model is used in marketing to present targeted groups in a more comprehensible way and ultimately to reach them specifically with the right communication. A Candidate Persona describes a fictitious person who fits a specific job (e.g. IT administrator: in) based on his or her demographic characteristics, education, attitudes and needs.

How long does it take for an employer branding strategy to take effect?

The effect of an employer branding strategy can vary depending on the scope and specific measures. As a rule, the first positive effects can be seen after just a few months, particularly in the form of increased attention and positive feedback from applicants.

Long-term results, such as an improved employer reputation, stronger employee retention and a noticeable improvement in the quality of incoming applications, usually become apparent within 6 to 12 months. However, it is important to continuously work on the strategy and evaluate it regularly to ensure sustainable success.
