If you are growing an appetite for an employer branding career path, this episode will continue to tickle your fancy, like the previous two episodes on our Nora's employer branding career journey.

Us three have worked together closely since early 2023 when we first created their employer branding strategy based on the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️.

We discuss Maiju's career path into employer branding, how she juggles all her responsibilities while maintaining weekly employer brand marketing chores and what it feels like working so closely with an external employer branding agency. 🔗 If you want the text version or watch the video version, jump right here > Or type modernemployerbrand.com/podcast185 on your browser if the RSS link does not work.

Building the Magnetic Employer Brand equals the dating game going strong! If you just went.. "what the heck?", great! I wanted you to! I wanted to win your attention, and with this part 2 episode my intention is to sustain it. This week, in this part 2 Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast episode, we will finish with this crazy-sounding idea and see whether we end up married, engaged, or broken up. In this episode, you'll learn about the most important phase in employer branding for your organisation: converting employer brand value back to the business. As a bonus, I also explain what needs to happen beyond conversions so that your organisation continues to benefit from your magnetic employer brand. I refer to The Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ and our framework for the magnetic employer brand communication process called the Candidate Journey of the Information Era™️ in this episode. These are my brainchildren, even if the candidate's journey is similar to the systematic customer's journey. This game-changing employer branding method [developed for building the magnetic employer brand] harnesses the power of persuasive communication, storytelling, and behavioral science.

Employer Brand, as a consistent communication process such as building the Magnetic Employer Brand, is like dating in the pursuit of finding The One.

If you are like many of our clients, you’ll laugh because what I explain to you is so true and makes so much sense. And if anything, this image of dating in employer branding will stick to your mind, and you’ll remember it forever! 🔗 If you want the text version or watch the video version, jump right here >   Are we connected yet on socials?

A solid employer branding strategy is vital in today's rapidly changing work environment.

In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jason "Jay" Kipps from The Martec. The evolution of employer branding has been like a whirlwind over the past decade. At first, after 1996 when the term was coined, for a long time there was nothing. Then, recruitment marketing campaigns took off with the Internet and social media. And, more recently, have been followed by strategic employer branding with long-term impact and perspective and the application of technology, science and artificial intelligence. With the development of AI, we are now in the phase where AI also interacts with employer branding and for that, Jay Kipps makes a great podcast guest. We discuss the evolution of employer branding from zero to artificial intelligence.

What an odd topic for an episode about what (employer) branding really is, isn’t it? If I got your attention with it, you are in for a treat. This episode is not about ‘fashion’. It’s about understanding what branding really, beyond logos, taglines and visual identities. While appearance, as in the visual identity, does have a big role in branding, it’s not the starting point. But it is the point that catches attention, forms and divides opinions, at best! In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast, I aim to clarify what branding an organisation or a person means and requires because it is different to branding products. For this purpose, I’m using something we can all relate to: ourselves and how our appearances, personality and style choices impact how others perceive us and how that can also drive our success building a career in employer branding. 👉 If you want the text version, jump right here > Check out also Employer Branding Agency Emine’s blog: https://emine.fi/blogi/ Connect with me on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susannarantanen/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rantanensusanna/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rantanensusanna

We all know how difficult and gut-wrenching talent acquisition can be. The pain of not knowing where to find potential applicants or are you actually going to get anyone to apply can be extremely stressful. What strikes me off is that hardly anyone working in talent acquisition seems to realize that there is actually one specific area where you have a huge frequently unused opportunity to impact the outcome of your campaign and drive the results you need from your recruitment marketing investments. That, when you advertise for your job opportunity, it should not be a passive time for you, where you just wait whether anyone becomes interested and sends their application. Data-driven approach to talent marketing; the short-term recruitment campaigns and long-term employer brand activities, is key in accelerating and elevating your HR marketing success and delivering you the goals you expect. In this episode, I’m going to excite you to want to learn the data-driven approach to talent marketing. When you realize how obvious it is that this is the way you should work, you wonder why you didn’t think about this before and can’t wait to start!

Best careers sites convince and convert your company’s ideal passive and active job seekers. What you put on your careers page and in which order has everything to do with whether the career site visitor stays or leaves. Most companies that care about their website tend to care too much about the website design at the cost of delivering the intended messages through copytext and visuals. Having a pretty website without powerful messages that convince and convert your career site visitors into your employer brand audience doesn’t help you to build your employer brand or convert your employer brand audience into your recruitment funnel. In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast, I talk about the anatomy of the best careers sites that convince and convert not just your ideal active job seekers but also your ideal passive job seekers.

What happens once your employer branding strategy is ready? What are the next steps that need to be taken? It would be easy to think we'll just start employer brand marketing, but there is a very important phase you can't ignore because it requires time, money and skills.

This phase is called the implementation phase, and it's not the same as executing your employer brand strategy. In this episode, I share with you what this phase is and what will be your most important implementation tasks before you go ahead and start posting and sharing employer brand content. ⏱ 24:33 min If you need to return to this episode for notes, the show notes article is available here for you: 🔗 https://bit.ly/3TBHGMo ************** 🆘 DON'T MISS OUT ON THESE 👇🏻 ************** 📩 Subscribe to the Weekly Podcast Email and stop missing out on my free, exclusive expertise tip or advice each week on the topic of the episode: https://bit.ly/33XoaCM ************** 💟 If you are on Instagram, follow my @talentmarketingpro -profile because you don't want to miss out on my free talent marketing tips and opportunities to expand your talent marketing acumen, all for free!

We typically group and profile our talent audiences based on roles, job requirements, education and years of experience. This is called demographic segmentation.

Companies who direct employer branding activities into recruitment campaigns miss on the real power of employer branding. Recruitment is the final stage in the candidate's journey. The decision making doesn't take place at this phase. It took place long before the applications are being sent.

It's too late to influence the most ideal talents at this stage anymore. You only get what's left and available if you leave it to the recruitment stage.

For the past few episodes I have been focusing on how to work with talent target audiences in talent marketing, and especially in modern employer branding. Making decisions about your talent target audiences continues to be one of the most common struggles in talent marketing when you start to working with it in a more strategic manner. Everything begins with your target audiences. In marketing, it is critical to be specific about who you target your messages to. Failure in being specific leads into failed marketing campaigns. Choosing your target audiences for recruitment marketing campaigns is much easier. After all, the position open gives you a pretty good idea who you might be targeting your messages to. But this is not the case at all with employer branding. Learning how to work with your target audiences in employer branding is one of the basic skills you must learn to master.

This has got to be my personal favourite out of all the 6 modern talent marketing team roles. Communication and messaging are in such a central role in pretty much everything we do together, with and for other people. In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I introduce the role of the Talent Communication and PR Specialist.

This kind of strategic, powerful communication forms the basis also for the Magnetic Employer Branding Method© I developed back in 2017.

Companies hiring a lot dream about their own talent pool. The kind of a pool where you can just reach out to a qualified, great talent whenever you have a hiring need. And these talents are ready to jobs with you. This will save up the company's time and not to mention money. A beautiful dream, isn't it? It doesn't have to be a dream, it can become a reality. But if you want something truly valuable, you need to work to get it, right? Otherwise, it's just another outdated CV bank where those talents have not committed to your company more than to any other. An active talent pool is more of a community instead of a pool. If you want your prospects to convert into warm leads for your recruitment funnel they need to be nurtured, kept interested and warm. Because there is much more potential to achieve such a talent pool outside your recruitment system, you need someone to take ownership of this goal.

Every company has what I call the employer brand product. It is not the job you hire for. It is the experience a talent gets into when they start a career in your company. This product is the product you need to build your employer brand for. This is what sets your business apart from all other businesses. When you hire for whatever role, the experience of taking that role, working in that role and delivering the value and the results in that role every day form a unique experience unlike in any other company. Even if they had the same roles. When you hire, you should promote less the title and much more the unique product coming with the title. That product is the Unique Employee Experiences people can only get if they work in your company. In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I'm going to introduce you to this product, the product called Unique Employee Experiences in your company. ⏱ 16:55 min If you enjoy the episode, check out the blog post for more info on the topic: 🔗 https://bit.ly/3lC5q3L Opt-in to download a free PDF presenting The Four Types of Experiences Building a Modern Employer Brand": 📥 https://bit.ly/3cb28kE Are we hooked yet on LinkedIn or Instagram?

Starting a recruitment process is not hard. Getting applications meeting our expectations is hard. There are three specific reasons leading to the failure of getting the talents you want to participate in your recruitment process. ❌ Not knowing how to profile the hiring need correctly. ❌ Recruitment messaging is not making sense to the applicant. ❌ Promoting the wrong offer. In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast, I explain these three key reasons. Don't forget to check out the complimentary blog post in which I talk about how to put a stop to this failure to win over the applicants you need and probably deserve too. ⏱ 18:21 min 🔗 https://bit.ly/3cyhGOp Are we hooked yet on LinkedIn or Instagram?

Work-to-life riddles are the specific reasons why talents activate on the job market and start looking for suitable ways to solve their key work-to-life riddle.

“Advertising is about you saying you are good. PR is getting someone else to say you are good.”  - Jean-Louis Gassee (former Apple Computers executive) Most talent marketers have no idea how much impact talent PR could have for their employer brand. Instead of the company promoting how good we are, talent PR is about getting your talent audiences to share their positive experiences about your company as a place to work. There are many more roles in the modern talent marketing and employer branding team than those where we use the company mouth to speak good about ourselves. And one of these roles is that of a Talent communication & PR manager. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand, I introduce PR as an opportunity for modern employer branding. And to be frank, to me talent PR is the heart of modern employer branding. ⏱ 25:25 min 💎 What exactly is PR? 💎 Why does PR fit so well in modern employer branding?

In this week’s episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I want to talk to you about content curation. When we set out to do consistent talent marketing on social media, we need content to post about and share about. Often times we struggle keeping up with a posting rhythm and most often that happens because we feel like we have nothing to post about. Creating your own content, even if it was in the form of a social media post requires time and, well, having interesting enough to say. Curating existing content comes handy when you feel the infamous writer's block approaching. 💡 What is content curation? 💡 How to use curated content in talent marketing? 💡 The 3 ways I regularly keep up with great content for inspiration and content curation when needed ⏱ 27:59 🔗 More about this topic on the blog: https://bit.ly/3oFTBtl P.S Did you sign up on the Talent Marketing School Waitlist yet? 🆘  You should do it now BECAUSE WE ARE CLOSING OFF the waitlist on Sunday 21st Feb, 2021.

Isn't it super annoying when it looks like our talent marketing attempts either visibly failed or just boiled down and disappeared into the thin air? You worked hard, figured you had some pretty decent ideas and went about sharing those to the whole world. Or at least your immediate talent audience world. And nothing happens. No pulse whatsoever. We've all been there. It's only a matter of climbing up and covering this pothole! There are a few common rules to adopt in order to avoid talent marketing fails.

Keeping tabs on what is going on in our operating environment is key in our efforts to influence and impact our target audiences. We are living in an era of extremely rapid change regardless of where we focus our eyes, ears, or our attention. All this turbulence, but also the speed of development is impacting our behavior. What was a common practice or at the center of attention last year may be nothing but a distant memory next year. In this week’s episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast I share four (4) employer branding trends that I believe to be important in 2021 for modern talent marketers. My key predictions as employer branding trends for 2021 and onwards: 1️⃣ Talent marketers will learn to understand the range different talent marketing strategies and pick up the most suited for their business and talent marketing needs. 2️⃣ Social media continues to maintain its position as the key media for employer branding specifically. 3️⃣ Humane values will rise up as the core values in modern organizations. 4️⃣ EVP's will be adapted to a new, different role. ⏱ 24:10 min 🔗 Check out the additional 3 employer branding trends from my blog: https://bit.ly/35QWZe0 Connect with me on: LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susannarantanen/ 💟 FIND, FOLLOW AND DM ME ON INSTAGRAM: @rantanensusanna https://www.instagram.com/rantanensusanna/ @talentmarketingpro https://www.instagram.com/talentmarketingpro/ @hr_podcast https://www.instagram.com/hr_podcast/ 🎓 Become a professional talent marketer and sign up for TALENT MARKETING SCHOOL online! https://bit.ly/3kyyE12

One of the most popular topics of this podcast is storytelling in reference to talent marketing. Every time I talk about the art of storytelling, you listen and you love. As the LAST episode of 2020, let's call it off with a storytelling episode. In this week’s episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast I explain why your ideal talent must be the hero on your employer brand -story, not your business. I can hear you going: WHAAT?! Before you go all bonkers, just listen and you'll understand why. It's going to be a big revelation. It was to me when I learned it years ago. This was also a turning point how I do all the marketing for my business and for myself. And it made a HUGE change. We became an employer adored by our own audience. People started to publicly call themselves as our fans. Yes, F-A-N-S. Can you imagine that? I still can't. I'd understand if we were a multimillion consumer empire with your hottest products. But we've never been more than a 5-6 people boutique agency in one of the smallest markets on the earth. It's a miracle and it is due to what I'm telling you in this episode.

In this week’s episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast I continue with the topic I started last week: how to be more persuasive in talent acquisition. Hiring is selling. And to succeed in sales, we need to persuade and motive customers to choose our products and services. A modern customer is pretty firm about not being fooled own cornered into buying something we don't need or want. Your ideal applicants are probably modern customers too. Become more successful in talent acquisition by learning to be more persuasive in your actions and with your words. In this episode: 💎 Why we should think hiring as selling. 💎 Why we need to make our hiring more personal and purposeful to our ideal applicants. 💎4 steps to becoming more persuasive in talent acquisition. ⏱ 30:12 min Learn more about being more persuasive in hiring from this blog post I wrote: 🔗 https://bit.ly/3rggVAe ⚡️ARE YOU AN ASPIRING TALENT MARKETING PROFESSIONAL? ⚡️ ⭐️ An aspiring talent marketing professional is someone who wants to build an entire career in employer branding and talent marketing. ⭐️ Someone who wants to focus on marketing and communication full time instead of doing HR or recruiting full time with only an occasional dose of marketing and communication tasks. To get there requires learning the professional ropes of talent marketing. When you know what modern talent marketing really is about, you are in a better place to choose your ideal talent marketing path. And not only that, you are also in a much better position to prove your boss the value professional talent marketing will add to your business. 🔥 And THAT is how to get a full time job in talent marketing.

Are you making recruitment or employer branding videos for your business? Or maybe you are producing videos for your client for recruitment and employer branding purposes. In either case, did you know that the most typical videos produced for recruitment and employer branding fail? These videos fail, because even though they may look awesome and have cool technical features and B-rolls and whatnot, they fail because there is no storyline. Just because a video was really well produced does not make it automatically a great communication tool. In this episode of BUILDING A MODERN EMPLOYER BRAND -podcast I explain why so many recruitment videos fail. Hopefully, after listening to this podcast episode, you will be in a better place to make the right decisions about your videos. ⏱ 27:16 min 🔗 Check out the blog post for this episode: https://bit.ly/2IIlH7F 📥 Download a free Cheat Sheet on How to Avoid Making Another Expensive Recruitment Video that Fails to Deliver: https://bit.ly/36AoOqB I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. ❓ Are talent marketing and employer branding something you are into and would like to learn more about, even make a career about? ✍🏻 If you said yes, join the Talent Marketing School Waitlist here: https://bit.ly/3kyyE12 We are launching an online members-only Talent Marketing School in early 2021.

What is your favorite story? Why did you choose it? What makes it so memorable for you? In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast I talk about what are the elements that make up a story. Even if I wrote 200 pages does not automatically constitute a good story or even a story, to begin with! For a bunch of words to form a story, certain key elements must be found. If we are talking about a 2,5-hour movie, there will be more of the elements used and in a repetitive manner than in a blog post or a career story you write to your company blog.

What is BUSINESS storytelling? As talent marketers, we send hundreds if not thousands of messages to our internal and external talent audiences on a monthly basis. ❓ How many of those messages are seen, opened, consumed, and acted upon? 😱 The problem is not many. Most of your messages are not paid attention to. You wrote it, you sent it and no one ever read it. It doesn't have to be that way though. Storytelling is an excellent method to deliver messages in a business context. When we formulate our message into a story format, the recipient is likely to pay more attention, hear you out and become inspired to act as you have asked for in your message. 🎧 In this episode of BUILDING A MODERN EMPLOYER BRAND - podcast, I introduce you to business storytelling. 💡 What is business storytelling? 💡 The value of business storytelling. ⏱ 30:48 min Did you know that there is a theme article on my blog to complement each podcast-episode?

In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast we continue with your career site -topic. It is essential to pay attention to the value of your career pages to your target talent audiences. The value is measured by your career pages' ability to answer the questions your talent website visitor has on their mind. Active and passive job seekers have very different questions on their minds. If you want a passive talent to spend time on your site, and return as well, you need to cater to the very different content than what your career site usually tends to have.

In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I want to give our attention to your career site for a bit. If you are a growth business active in talent acquisition, your career site is your most important talent media. Most career sites are unfortunately not much more than a "shop window" without an entrance in sight. They may be well dressed, but all they allow you is to browse a few items; not touch anything, not interact with anyone, and not step inside. Too many businesses seem totally blind to this amazing opportunity to activate your career sites as your talent lead generators. ⏱ 12:26 min Check out the theme article on the blog to get a few examples and learn more about this amazing topic! 🔗 https://bit.ly/36VbDT4 Download a free PDF: 8 Tips How to Get Your Career Site Work for You: 📥 https://bit.ly/370Coph

I created this proprietary marketing method back in 2017. It soon became pretty known on the Finnish market by the name of Vaikuttava Työnantajabrändi -metodi. In English it goes by the name of Magnetic Employer Brand Method and the name of this podcast refers to it. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast I share with you how I apply this same method to brand my own agency. When I first developed this, it was to help some of our fast growing and scaling tech company clients in their struggle to hire the talents they needed. But I soon discovered how well this systematic approach and a strategic framework is able to also help the more established organizations to change their employer image as they go through the current wave of digital transformation. And, furthermore, our own case sets an example of how an agency like ours is able to apply it, not just for employer branding but combined with business branding to achieve measurable value to the business. ⏱ 33:32 min 🔗 https://bit.ly/2SrOZck

"A PICTURE tells a thousand words", said Fred R. Barnard, an advertising executive back in the days. 🖼 What this means is that a visual image or a graphic illustration conveys a stronger message than written words. 🐶 When I say the word "dog", but nothing else, we all imagine what a dog means to us. What type of a breed, what kind of a nature, what feelings and sentiments are attached to the dog on our mind. It's going to be different between you and I, and all other people. 📸 But let me give you a photo of a tiny, white poodle with a pink bow tied on the top of her head. She is sitting on an oak-tree bench in a park filled with colorful flowers and big oak trees. The sun is shining and she is posing for the camera. It is evident many photos have been taken of her before. 💡 Now we all are likely to think more towards a similar setting. Your flowers might be a different color or a different kind. Your poodle's eyes might be rounder than those of mine. Your oak trees might be heavy with green leafs while mine are already getting red and brown. That's because I did not describe the details of the eyes or the leafs. ❌ NOTHING stops us to describe a setting like this - in words, to reach a more similar understanding of what we are talking about. Describing it is going to take you longer than if you took that photo. And, it's going to take me longer to read it than just looking at that photo. 🔥 THAT's why visuals are so much more powerful as a content type than text. In this episode of BUILDING A MODERN EMPLOYER BRAND -podcast I talk about the power of visuals in employer branding. There are a lot of places to use visual elements in employer branding. And when some consideration is put into choosing them, our visual employer branding can easily have a greater impact on our talent target audiences than our words will ever have. ⏱ 22:46 min 🔗 Find the listening links as well as a blog post about this topic to learn more about the power of visuals! https://bit.ly/2Gc85AG If you enjoy this podcast, please show your love by a kind rating on your podcast app. Until next week, moi moi from Susanna!

LinkedIn is by far the largest professional network, in my opinion a pretty good hiring platform, and a somewhat functional social media. But despite LinkedIn cashing in on employer branding features, I just don't think LinkedIn is that great for modern employer branding. I understand this is a pretty bold statement to make about such a giant, but unfortunately, even the basic (and free) features of LinkedIn are not compatible with modern employer branding requirements. LinkedIn is a great recruitment platform, and certainly the best professional networking areena there is online. But for employer branding, nope. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I give four (4) reasons why so. ⏱ 20:47 min 🔗 Find the theme article on the Modern Employer Brand Blog here: https://bit.ly/2RP6DGE Visit the Modern Employer Brand -blog to learn more about modern employer branding: https://bit.ly/3hqXbnX

🤳 INSTAGRAM created the monster called selfies. Never before were we taking so many #mirrorselfies #belfies #selfies #groupselfies than in the times of Instagram. ❣️ Instagram is also fantastic for employer branding.

NEWS FLASH social media is your best platform for talent marketing. Why? 🔥 You can use social media for multiple, yet equally effective ways to build and engage your talent audiences. 🔥 If you opt for content marketing, social media is the most cost-effective media to boost, as in promoting your content and expand your audience. 🔥 You don't have to be a content creator to make the most of social media. If you are better in conversations, wonderful! That works really well too! 🔥 You can also use social media for building your talent audience insight and grow your understanding of what your audience is like, what interests them, and what is important for them. BUT, there is always a 🍑 in eveything! And in this one it is: 🤓 You MUST know which social media is the most ideal to reach your target audience and then you MUST use that social media exactly the way your audience is expecting you to use it.

Social media is by far the greatest gift HR and recruitment professionals have even been given. It changed the dynamics first in recruitment marketing giving so many more opportunities to explore and take advantage of in-house. Then more recently, with the growing attention and interest to embark on the employer branding arena, social media offers talent marketers a remarkable arena for talent targeted communication, marketing, advertising, and branding. However, using social media for personal entertainment and using social media for employer branding and recruitment marketing are TWO so different practices they are from different worlds. That's why we seriously need to talk about how to use social media for talent marketing purposes. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I share what I think is REALLY the 5 best advice you can receive about how HR can use social media to help hiring and employer branding. ⏱ 38:19 mins And as you know, the Modern Employer Brand Blog is dedicated to talent marketers who want to learn modern practices for talent marketing. 🤓 Find the blog here: https://bit.ly/3hqXbnX 🔛 NEWS!

I'm going to be honest with you. It looks like most businesses fail to succeed in talent marketing. Most businesses are not treating talent marketing in a professional manner. When you treat it in a professional manner, you expect a lot and you give it the appropriate resources to deliver on those expectations. I keep witnessing how most businesses expect a lot, yet treat talent marketing as an extracurricular activity, a bit of fun on the side. Failure to succeed in talent marketing looks most often like this: ❌ Continuous difficulties to get applications from those talents your business really needs. ❌ Regular challenges to fill in your vacancies within the expected time frames. ❌ Not getting your employees to advocate your company as a workplace (or any other company content) on their socials. ❌ Regularly seeing your completion outweigh you in the most attractive employer listings even though you put in so much effort each year. It is not like YOU are not doing ANYTHING. It is not necessary that you are not doing ENOUGH. You might be even doing TOO MUCH. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast I explain 5️⃣ of the most common reasons why the talent marketing we see is not as successful as it could be. Understanding first what to fix is the way to change! ⏱ 31:17 min DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A TALENT MARKETING PRO? 💟 Go to Instagram and find @talentmarketingpro. That's me.

With the exception of strong consumer brands, most businesses use social media wrong. When we use socials for work, we change our own social media behavior. We turn into promotion and sales machines expecting total strangers to be interested and act on our requests. When we use socials for as private people, we hang out, have conversations, share personal experiences, memories, and moments. We don't go to socials to promote, ask, push, and request. And when we are hanging out on socials, we don't like strangers coming to ask, push, and request something from us. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I talk about why I think businesses are using social media wrong and why we should pick up a few tricks and tactics from our employees on socials. ⏱ 15:55 min IN THIS EPISODE: 🔸What companies are doing wrong on socials? 🔸Why we can learn from our employees (and perhaps also our own personal social media behavior)?

For some reason most conversations about measuring hiring success start from and end with metrics. I'm suggesting to pause there. If you are familiar with Google Analytics, you know how overwhelming it can be. You can spend forever building reports and eyeballing data.

Yet, choosing the right metrics, collecting data regularly and optimizing actions to improve hiring success are a must for all employers who regularly hire.

Every recruiter knows how important it is to make sure our candidates feel nothing but great experiences when participating in our recruitment processes. Great candidate experiences help build employer awareness, even employer brand. Job seekers talk a lot these days on socials about their good, bad and ugly experiences with recruiters, recruiting consultants as well as employing companies. And they name names! Just like in sales, if the prospective customers are dissatisfied how salespeople manage the sales process, their willingness to purchase will decrease. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast I talk about how a recruiter can influence better candidate experiences through communication. Often times there are more people involved in the recruitment process than the recruiter. And we cannot control how those individuals behave in front of the candidates.

Have you ever thought about how important words are for getting our messages across? Have you ever thought about how important the choice of words is to getting your reader to do what you want them to do? In this episode #19 of Building a Modern Employer Brand we are going to talk about words, more specifically about why choosing the right words really matter in your job post. If job posts are not your game, just imagine any other content in the place of a job post and think about how you word commercial your writing better to achieve your goals. I'm specifying "commercial/business goals", because when we write as a hobby, we tend to write to ourselves without goals really. But all the writing we do in our job must have this controlling idea we want to achieve with the text. ⏱ 15:07 min 🔗 Check out the blog post here: https://modernemployerbrand.com/podcast19/ In this episode: 👉 Reminding ourselves of the purpose of a job post 👉 5 goals a job post must deliver 👉 The 3 stages of a great job post I'm building a new Facebook Community for people like you inspired to learn how to Build a Modern Employer Brand (with me)!

Content is a great way to position your company as an employer or as a a business in front of the audience you want and need. But there are some rules, tricks and tactics that apply when producing content your audience actually wants to consume and engage with. In this episode 18 of the Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I talk about what makes content interesting for specific audiences. The tips and ideas I talk about I've learned from others as well as through my own content marketing experiences over the years. Remember, there is no content that will resonate and be relevant with every single person out there. So the more you understand about the people you want to reach, the more you learn about them, the more likely you are to produce content they want. At the end of this episode, I will share 10 ideas how to produce interesting content.

I'm probably not alone when I say the strength your company culture is really tested during times like this. It is not that difficult to sail the calm seas. Our physical and mental strengths are really tested during the stormy waters. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast, I'm going slightly off the plan and talk to you about the importance of building a strong company culture. Because, when the s-h-i-t hits the fan, you need your employees by your side fighting for your mutual goals. It seems, many organizations would like to make withdraws now, but never bothered to deposit in the strong culture bank. Over the recent weeks, as companies have had to lay off people permanently or temporarily (as we are able to here in Finland), I've read countless social media posts where people have been pinpointing organizations who seem to have over-promised and are now under-delivering. I of course talk about the values as the basis of your company culture. ⏱19:27 min 🔗 Read the complimentary blog post at: https://modernemployerbrand.com/podcast17/ Would you like to connect with me on socials?

Imagine yourself on a stage in front of a huge audience. You have no idea how you got there, but you know you have to keep this audience inspired and entertained. Otherwise you are footing the bill. What are you going to do? I bet you will find out what they want you to do! Yet, many organizations do employer branding without any idea who their actual audience is and what they are interested in. When it's not our own money, it is easy to just do whatever seems like fun for me. If we had to pay for the time we spend and the actions we take, I bet we would be more concerned about making it all worth our while. In this episode of Building a Modern Employer Brand -podcast I will continue last week's topic about talent audiences. But now we're going to move from talent audiences into talent segmentation. ⏱ 18.09 min 🔗 https;//modernemployerbrand.com/podcast16 In this episode: ❓What is talent segmentation? ❓How does it differ from talent audiences or target audiences? ❓Why is it useful in employer branding? ❓What is the value I or my business gets from talent segmentation in employer branding? 🔗 Download the PDF about talent segmentation in modern employer branding mentioned in this episode: https://palvelut.emine.fi/talentsegmentation_pdf Would you like to connect with me on socials?
