what is employer branding?

Employer branding is an increasingly important competitive factor.

The employer brand is the image that a company radiates and that shapes the external view of a company for potential employees. Companies with a strong employer brand are perceived as outstanding employers with attractive brand values that offer good career prospects. In this context, employer branding should never be used as a pure marketing tool, but much more to underline and communicate one's own values and special features. At Randstad, we are convinced that employer branding helps to attract highly qualified applicants and promising new employees. In addition, employees can identify more strongly with their companies, which increases loyalty.
