What does Bernard Hodes Group know about employer branding?
Here's a taste:
Q. How does employer branding differ from consumer branding?
A. "You first have to think of a job as a product. Like a box of cookies.
A job is on a shelf beside fifty other products, each begging for the
consumer's.
Employer branding is designing your box of cookies to give the consumer
some kind of idea of the taste and texture of your offer.
Q. Chewy, or chocolate chunks?
A. Yeah. It's no different than that. You use marketing tactics to drive
home a theme about your job. Clear and simple, so it sticks.
Q. So do you just adopt the company's consumer or business brand?
A. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Apple, for instance, is a design culture.
Translating their slavish attention to product design and
software to the talent market isn't too hard. Pepsi, on the other hand,
isn't as easy. The product is well known, like Apple, but
there's no legendary Steve Jobs hovering over the staff. Is Pepsi Co. a
laid-back atmosphere? Hard driving? There's some work to
be done here. You can't just port over ads about youth culture.
