Harmonize communication channels to increase their effectiveness
“A strong employer brand must be an authentic reflection of your company,” introduces Dorian Lebreton. The first tools to be valued are therefore the communication channels. Their effectiveness depends on both their consistency and their ability to sincerely convey your company's values. Thus, social networks such as LinkedIn and Instagram, the website or pages dedicated to the company on job boards must all be aligned, harmonized, to attract and convert visitors into future employees as much as possible. “Each platform must serve specific objectives that accurately reflect your employer brand,” adds the CEO of Karens.
Dedicate dedicated resources and expertise
The main challenge in developing an employer brand strategy is often organizational. “Not all companies necessarily have the time or resources to fully focus on developing and maintaining an attractive employer brand,” notes the co-founder. Indeed, the creation of relevant content, the collection of testimonials or even the distribution of job offers require an investment in time and specialized skills. “Today, it may be interesting to turn to tools that support companies in monitoring and effectively managing these aspects. By simplifying and automating processes, organizations will save time and energy while maximizing results,” he adds.
Stay honest
The important thing about employer branding is not to appear as the best, strongest or biggest, but rather that the company presents itself as it really is. In a competitive market, authenticity remains the best asset to stand out. Transparency and honesty actually build trust among candidates and employees. Indirectly, this improves the attractiveness and retention of talent by aligning expectations and the reality of the work environment.
“By remaining honest and transparent, companies naturally attract candidates who truly share their vision and culture, rather than risking seducing and then disappointing many candidates with broken promises,” recalls Dorian.
“Your employees are your greatest asset”
One of the best ways to promote a reliable and realistic employer brand is to turn to current or former employees. Encouraging them to share their experiences on social networks and review platforms helps to maintain and develop an authentic and credible image.
