What candidates really think about your organisation.
You're looking to hire new talent for your organisation, you've placed the advertisements and maybe engaged with a recruitment partner, but what happens when your position becomes visible to potential applicants?
Candidates first reactions are probably the single greatest element of whether they decide to apply for your role.
So, how does your company present itself to potential applicants when recruiting for new staff?
In our experience, too many organisations focus on their own needs and wants, and rather too little attention can be paid to the candidate perspective.
Have you considered how your organisation appears to potential job applicants?
In a competitive hiring environment, how candidates perceive your organisation has never been more important. 78% of candidates saying they look at employer reputation before applying for jobs.
The reality of working life in your organisation from the eyes of your staff is laid bare more than ever before.
Review sites such as Glassdoor provide potential applicants with scores based on feedback from current and previous employees, to help inform jobseeker decision making.

As employers, our HR data tells us a lot about employee engagement which feeds our Employer Branding. Who’s joining? Who’s performing? Who’s Not? Who’s leaving? And Why?
If your organisation can answer these important questions, understanding the impact on Employer Brand and how to improve your internal and external perception is possible.
Employer Branding is not simply a marketing exercise, close alignment between rhetoric and reality are key to staff retention and productivity.
