Employer Branding Persona

So much for a career. Alex has been treading water professionally for years. That’s why the large billboard at the station immediately catches Alex’s eye. A company is looking for skilled workers. And look at that: the employer actively promotes its staff and supports them in their professional development.

There’s someone for everyone. What do you offer your ideal candidates as an employer?
A strong employer brand appeals to its target audience based on its unique employer value proposition and communicates specific values and benefits.

Love at first click

Swipe. Swipe. Swipe. Hang on! Didn’t she just see the company at the train station? Alex’s attention is caught by the Carousel post on Instagram. It lists specific seminars and training courses for staff. That’s exactly what she’s been hoping for. Very interesting. Alex clicks on the link.

Make it as easy as possible for your ideal candidates to find out more about your company. Tell them about your company culture, what you have to offer, and anything else that will make potential candidates’ mouths water.

Is that a flutter in my heart? Alex scrolls through the website and finds herself increasingly fascinated by what the company stands for and what it offers its employees. Wow, a face-to-face meeting? Sure! Less than an hour later, she has an appointment from the HR manager in her inbox.

Go all out: paint a vivid picture of your company culture using as specific facts and examples as possible, so that you really capture people’s interest. It must then be quick and easy to get in touch, for example via a recruitment funnel, the contact form or by email.

Employer branding is key to bringing your company culture to life and thereby attracting the best talent.

Employer branding: How to attract and retain qualified talent in the long term

Employer branding is a targeted marketing process for recruitment that builds your image as an attractive employer. The same principle applies here: you never get a second chance to make a first impression. And that’s where we come in: working with you, we identify your genuine benefits and communicate them effectively to your ideal candidates.

Our employer branding process

Using a range of analyses and strategies, we take a close look at your company. We gather knowledge and insights, which we then use to work with you to develop a robust employer brand.

Since the skills shortage became so prevalent, we have enabled clients across a wide variety of sectors to attract the urgently needed new staff through strong and credible employer brands.

Employer Branding Case Study: Stihl

STIHL – Why STIHL.

We showcase everyday working life at STIHL exactly as people actually experience it. This takes the form of objective reports and profiles – researched, interviewed and written by editors from the business magazine brand eins Wissen.

The employee profiles form the core content of the campaign website. Furthermore, they fill an entire print magazine, appear in the form of images and quotes on posters, at the trade fair stand and on roll-ups, and provide content for Facebook, LinkedIn, XING and other platforms. And even more importantly: they are a credible answer to the question ‘Why STIHL?’.

Employer Branding Case Study: Diakonie Stetten

Diakonie Stetten – We care

In hardly any other sector is the shortage of skilled staff and workers as acute as in the care sector. “As one of the largest employers in the care sector in the Stuttgart region, Diakonie Stetten is committed to the professional and personal development of its staff,” reads the core message.
This forms the basis for the creative guiding principle: We care. The message is brought to life through numerous testimonials and contributions from Diakonie Stetten staff, who explain how their employer supports their development.

Why we take such a close look at our target audience
and the competition

How well do you know your ideal candidates? Of course, you have an idea of the technical skills and knowledge applicants need, and no doubt an idea of their interpersonal skills too. Employer branding takes a different perspective: what issues matter to your target group?

What does the candidate journey look like during their job search? And who else, apart from you, is competing for these skilled workers? What messages and promises are your competitors using to attract employees? Only by finding clear answers to these questions can we develop effective employer branding for you.

Effective recruitment marketing means communicating your messages with precision whilst standing out positively from the competition – even against the major players in the market.

Employer Value Proposition: Attracting
candidates with the right
selling points

The Employer Value Proposition is the promise an employer makes to its employees and candidates. It encompasses the key characteristics that define your employer brand – in other words, the positive aspects with which employees can identify. This is often where the greatest opportunities lie to stand out from the competition in the market and win over potential employees.

What exactly is it about? New employees can no longer be won over by money, holiday entitlement or a company pension scheme alone. And – sorry – even the fruit basket doesn’t really carry much weight. Alongside the benefits and perks your company offers, potential employees want to get to know the corporate culture. The Employer Value Proposition answers key questions in this regard: Does the company share the same values as the candidates?

How is collaboration put into practice? How are people supported in their personal development? Ensuring your employees feel at home and see meaning in what they do – that is what it’s all about when we work with you to develop your Employer Value Proposition.

Attracting new staff
and strengthening staff retention

The best way to avoid painful dropouts during the probationary period is to ensure a consistent candidate experience – in other words, the way in which potential employees get to know and perceive your company. This includes all points of contact with your employer brand, whether on social media, your website or through personal interaction.

Does your company show genuine interest, or do applicants have to wait a long time for a reply by email? Does your corporate culture match the impressions you convey online? It is important that you always deliver on your promises in your recruitment marketing. Your employer branding campaign becomes particularly credible when, for example, employees have their say and become brand ambassadors.

From the first impression to the job interview: consistency is arguably the most important key to your employer branding strategy. We would be delighted to support you on your journey to attract the right employees.
