At the very beginning stages of their job search, prospective candidates are researching companies, exploring different jobs, and evaluating what they want next in their careers. This means that first impressions matter when attracting talent. So, how do you build engagement with potential employees?

Your employer brand should send out clear messages about who you are,
what you do, and why you’re different. Most importantly, it should create a
sense of excitement and urgency about working for your company. While
this takes effort, the better you are at employer branding, the more likely you
are to attract the right talent!
To reach this talent, here are the top three places where you should promote your brand:

While they are related, your company website and social media profiles do serve different purposes for job seekers. While the former is where someone would go to learn more tangible facts like the company’s history, mission, and service/product offerings, social media is where they get to know more about your culture, reputation, and employees. Your overall message should feel consistent across all of these channels, but the factors you’ll want to focus on for each could vary.
ON YOUR WEBSITE, ensure employees
can easily find:
company history
your mission + values
current job openings
company culture
leadership
ON SOCIAL MEDIA, give candidates a
taste of your culture by:
sharing photos
highlighting fun initiatives
publishing frequent updates
