Become the obvious choice for talent.

95% of candidates research a company before applying (APEC/WTTJ, 2025). A strong employer brand is now as strategic as your compensation policy, especially when you hire scarce profiles.

Your employer brand is decided before the interview

Before even replying to your outreach message, a candidate has already googled your name, browsed your LinkedIn page, read your Glassdoor reviews and judged your career site. What they find, or fail to find, decides what happens next. A blurry or silent employer brand means fewer qualified applications, longer processes and last-minute offer rejections.

The good news: it is an asset you can build, by clarifying what you genuinely offer your employees and making it visible where your target candidates actually are.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is employer branding, concretely?

It's how candidates and employees perceive you as an employer: your reputation, your promise, what people read about you online. It plays out long before the interview and now weighs as much as your compensation policy.

Why invest in employer branding?

Because candidates research you before applying: 86% read company reviews and 75% consider the employer brand before applying (Glassdoor), and 69% would reject an offer from a company with a poor reputation. Conversely, a strong employer brand cuts cost per hire by up to 50% and turnover by about 28% (LinkedIn), and attracts up to 50% more qualified applicants.

What is an EVP (Employee Value Proposition)?

Your employer promise: what your company genuinely offers its people (pay, meaning, growth, culture, flexibility). We formalise it into differentiating pillars and key messages by target role: tech, sales, ops, corporate.

What is the Talent Magnet Score™?

Our attractiveness audit: your pulling power scored out of 100, based on your HR data, digital presence, online reviews and an analysis of your talent competitors. You know exactly where you lose candidates.

How does an employer branding assignment work?

Four steps: attractiveness audit (Talent Magnet Score™), design of your employer identity (EVP, pillars, messages by target), multichannel deployment (career site, authentic content, employee advocates), then steering with data.

Do you need a large company or a big budget?

No. Our typical clients are startups and scale-ups. An employer brand is built first by clarifying what you genuinely offer, not by spending on ads. Every attractiveness gain multiplies your sourcing and retention.

How are results measured?

On concrete indicators: qualified applications, cost per hire, offer acceptance rate, online reputation, and the Talent Magnet Score™ tracked over time.
