SOME OF OUR CHALLENGES
• How do we ensure we are visible to the right talent?
• How do we ensure our message stands out?
• How do we achieve clarity and consistency of message?
• How do we tailor our message to our different audiences?
• How do we become a ‘destination’ employer and not just one of the
crowd?
• How do we ‘keep it real’ and ensure the experience we promise
candidates matches the one we deliver for employees?

Employer Brand
SOLUTION: THE EVP EXPRESSES OUR ESSENCE AS AN EMPLOYER –
OUR EMPLOYER BRAND AMPLIFIES OUR PRESENCE AND REACH
Your EVP is a personal promise to candidates and employees. Your employer
brand and reputation is built on the experiences you deliver to them.

8.
• It is central to creating value for your business. An engaged workforce cares more, contributes more
and sell more than a disenchanted and demotivated workforce.
• It enables you to compete more effectively for talent. In a crowded and competitive marketplace, you,
your EVP is your ticket to differentiation.
• It informs your employer branding and attraction campaigns. Your EVP will drive the strategic and
creative thinking that enables you to stand out. It is the nucleus of your messaging.
• It reduces time and money spent on recruitment. A clear EVP helps candidates make an informed
decision about whether or not to apply for a role, which reduces time and money spent on poorly matched
applicants and reduces attrition over the long run.
• It informs your HR policies and procedures. By providing a blueprint, you are clearly communicating how
things are done in your organization, how people treat each other and how to create value for customers
and stakeholders.
• It helps keep your business honest. Stay true to your EVP and your employees will amplify your positive
messaging, reinforcing your reputation as a good employer. Let them down and the consequences can
damage not only your employer brand, but also your consumer and
corporate brand.

MARKET CONTEXT

9WE BECOME YOU™
THE OLD: “RECRUITMENT”
Requisition based
One size fits all approach
Undefined Employer Brand
Indirect: over-reliant on agencies
Active candidates
Inconsistent
Paucity of data
Single-channel
Manual
And so HR were:
Order takers
Reactive – Tactical
THE NEW: “TALENT ACQUISITION”
Communities & talent pools
Segmented approach
Nuanced Employer Brand
Direct: greater capability
Active & passive candidates
Consistent
Data & metrics driven
Multi-channel: inc social media
Underpinned by technology
And we then became:
Proactive
Talent advisors
THE OUTCOMES
Improved candidate / HM experience
Reduced cost and time to hire
Better quality of hire
Lower regretted attrition
Recruitment prevention
Internal mobility
Destination employer
Improved performance
And now we must be:
Strategic and embedded
Business activators

A brand is not a product or a promise or a feeling
It's the sum of all the experiences you have with a company and
most crucially of all, what differentiates that company from the rest
And a career is the most sophisticated sell of them all.
