Essential Employer Branding

WE CAN MAKE YOU AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE

Why Employer Branding Matters

Influence Hearts & Minds

TALENT HAS CHOICE

Evolving Expectations

In an increasingly tough market, attracting the top talent needed to sustain & grow a business gets harder and harder. In-demand candidates are often interviewed for multiple different jobs simultaneously.

To be competitive in any sector, effective Employer Branding is essential. Not only will it get you in the mix with top talent but, done correctly, it will engage existing talent and improve retention.

The other good news is that showcasing relevant attributes as an employer can dramatically reduce your recruitment spend.

Employer Branding With Talent SM&RT

THE SECRET SAUCE IN THE MARKETING MIX

hearts and minds images

OK… it’s actually no secret: Employer Branding is a marketing exercise and marketing is a communication exercise. As any good communicator knows – if you want to influence your audience you first have to understand them.

The Talent SM&RT system was specifically designed to generate an unparalleled level of understanding into what drives people’s thinking and moves them to action. By modelling attitudes and behaviours we can translate core traits into communication strategies that optimise influence by reaching the hearts and minds of top talent.

Sounds complicated? Well – we’ve been doing this for over 15 years – with access to employee exemplars or precise descriptions of role critical behaviours we can generate a workable model in a matter of hours. We then use that to define the perfect employer branding messages to fit your talent objectives.

Our Employer Branding Methods

We can evaluate your existing Employer Branding against recognised gold standards – the best way to eliminate talent leaks. We can also evaluate how you measure up against competitors.

Free Consultation

A free consultation is an opportunity to discuss your talent objectives and gain a free professional perspective outside of the context of a sales meeting. We do not use consultations as a selling opportunity - but, naturally, we discuss our methods in deploying talent solutions when making suggestions to you. Our approach is to try and advise what people can reasonably expect to achieve themselves with the resources they have and what extra they should expect when engaging a consultancy - whether us or someone else.

The context of the discussion is entirely up to you - maybe you have a current objective, or want more detail on a case study. In this form we ask for a small amount of detail and depending on what you state may ask for more prior to the consultation - if we feel it will be helpful.

The consultation can be conducted via telephone or MS Teams etc. depending on your preferences. The duration is up to one hour and we follow up with an email outlining any suggestions and links to resources etc. If you wish to continue please click the 'Next' button below. The form should take no more than 1 - 2 mins to complete.

Please provide your details below:
