Employer & Talent Branding
What is Employer & Talent Branding
Every encounter your candidates make with your brand leaves them with a perception of your company. Whether it is a good impact or a bad one, it is entirely dependent on how you portray your company to your potential candidates. Therefore, you should make efforts that you reach out to your desired candidates and make a lasting impression.
Talent branding or employer branding can be defined as your ability to promote your company as an employer of choice to your prospective candidates.
Talent branding offers several benefits in boosting your company’s reputation.
Firstly, it helps you in attracting qualified candidates and thus, make the best hire for your roles. This, in turn, helps in decreasing the efforts you put in for advertising your jobs and sourcing the best candidates and speeds up your recruitment process.
Secondly, employer branding helps you establish yourself as an employer of choice on a long term basis. With the help of reviews of your existing employees and a strong online presence, you can generate a sense of trust in the minds of your potential candidates.
Lastly, a strong talent brand helps you in nurturing your bond with your candidates. This contributes significantly to employee engagement and retention.
Your hiring team and HR department must define your employer value proposition in order to kick-start your talent branding efforts.

Employer and Talent Branding can work in perfect harmony together. As with all successful strategies, it’s a case of researching, planning, timing and consistency. There’s no point introducing and communicating an Employer Brand if you don’t have the goods to back it up. If you start professing to be the best company to work for, flexible in working attitudes, social media-friendly and don’t deliver, then not only will you lose employees but you will gain a hard to shake negative reputation. Getting candidates through the door is one thing, keeping them is another. Maybe this is the best way to cement the difference between Talent and Employer Branding.
Talent Branding communicates the ‘goods’ that back it up. The practices, experiences and true value that makes a company the best option. It doesn’t see Talent as an umbrella term for defining the best candidates; it signifies the unique ways and attitudes a company has to developing different talent segments. As mentioned above, it’s not just about what you say but how you say it. The role of social media, employee blog posts or diaries has a huge part to play in this. Talent should talk to talent, employees should communicate with potential candidates directly and the best companies are the ones that facilitate this unselfishly and with total trust.
