The document discusses the history and modern practices of employer branding. It begins by defining employer branding as an organization's reputation as an employer and how it markets itself to job seekers and current employees. The original concept was introduced in 1996 and aimed to improve employee recruitment and retention through reducing costs. Modern employer branding uses a marketing funnel approach across various online channels to optimize the candidate journey. It also emphasizes cooperation among internal stakeholders, measuring key performance indicators, and using social media to maximize results. Global examples are given of organizations that have received employer brand awards.
