Do you have a favorite store that you visit frequently, where the employees know your name and buying preferences? What about the barista at Starbucks who knows just how you like your coffee? Isn't that why you keep going back? That's the hallmark of a truly successful talent brand--when the hearts and minds of an organization's employees are fully aligned with their product brand. Talent branding is the fulfillment of a promise of the employee experience. It is informed with every interaction by employees in the organization, from pre-employment vetting to post-employment separations. It is the dialogue of that experience, owned by every past, present, or potential employee, and visible everywhere. Drawing upon years of experience as founder and chief branding officer of the New York-based branding and communications agency Brandemix, Ordioni outlines the process for creating the key framework for your talent brand architecture. The Talent Brand guides the reader through Brandemix's carefully constructed process, providing complete access to branding tools, brainstorming templates, and learning resources. You only get one reputation, and The Talent Brand will show you how to create the reputation that drives business results.

If you want your business to grow, you need to be able to rely on your ability to hire talent reliably and consistently. No talent pipeline? No growth, and no business. But your recruiting team is drowning (I asked them). They need help. Now, if you ask recruiters, they will ask for headcount. Or more technology. But more bodies and more tools won't solve the issue (though it will eat up your budget). What you need a is a better strategy. And that strategy is called employer branding.Employer branding is about understanding, distilling and communicating what your company is all about in order to attract all the talent you need. That will differentiate your company as a place where people will want to work, rather than a place they land because they didn't know better.If you've heard about employer branding in business magazines, it might seem like something only "big companies" can do. Something that requires a dedicated team, expensive platforms, or a bunch of consultants. That isn't true. If you understand where your brand comes from, and how to apply it, any company (especially yours) can hire better with it.And this book will teach you how to do all of that, and then some.In this book, you'll learn what employer branding really is, how to make a compelling argument internally to leadership that creates commitment, how to work with other teams and be creative in finding solutions. As a special bonus, we are including a handbook on how to work with recruiting teams. This hands-on workbook is chock full of examples, checklists, step-by-step instructions and even emails you can copy and paste to make things happen immediately.

Levels of 'employer brand awareness' are rising fast across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, as leading companies realise that skilled, motivated employees are as vital to their commercial success as profitable customers and apply the principles of branding to their own organization. Starting with a review of the pressures which have generated current interest in employer branding, this definitive book goes on to look at the historical roots of brand management and the practical steps necessary to achieve employer brand management success - including the business case, research, positioning, implementation, management and measurement. Case studies of big-name employer brand stories include Tesco, Wal-Mart, British Airways and Prêt a Manger.

In today's fiercely competitive job market, with the balance of power squarely in job-seekers' hands, how can organizations attract and retain the most talented candidates--and the best additions to their culture? The answer may surprise you. The most effective employer brands don't attract candidates; they repel them. Combining the expertise of employer brand industry leaders Charlotte Marshall and Bryan Adams, Give & Get Employer Branding redefines the concept of an employee value proposition entirely. Instead of a sales pitch aimed at seducing candidates with sizzle, this refreshing new approach harnesses the value to be found within the cultural realities and expectations of the company. You'll learn how to create a "smart filter," elevate your organization's strengths by pairing them with what it truly takes to thrive, and answer the burning questions on candidates' minds like never before.

This book explores the concept of Employer Branding (EB) as applied to the hospitality sector. Employer branding aims to assist businesses in becoming the employer of choice for potential employees. As such, the concept has potential to change classical approaches of managing people and to improve opinions on careers in the hospitality sector.

Few business strategy books talk about brand management and talent management under the same cover. Brand and Talent shows how high performance organizations are using this philosophy to drive clarity and growth as they bring their purpose, ambition, strategy and proposition to life from the inside out. In a world replete with experts in branding and brand management, mirrored by experts in talent attraction, engagement and development, there is a clear need for far greater alignment of these two overlapping disciplines. This means more than paying lip service to recruitment media campaigns masquerading as so-called "employer brands", which can often cause damage to or dilute an organization's reputation as an enterprise is dependent upon your reputation as an employer - and vice versa. In Brand and Talent, author Kevin Keohane looks at how organizations can better communicate with people before, during and after their association with the enterprise. He presents a "joined up" approach that encompasses the needs of brand, marketing, human resources, corporate communications, internal communications and IT. He integrates academic and commercial evidence, as well as practical advice and includes case studies and interviews.
