The war for talent is alive and kicking. One of the greatest challenges companies face while acquiring talent is competition, says\u00a0LinkedIn’s Global Recruiting Trends Report.<\/strong>\u00a0In today’s market, candidates can afford to be picky, meaning companies need to up their game to attract the best people. Creating a strong employer brand is now a top priority.
\nHow does your company compare to the standard approaches around the world? I have summarized the most important facts.\u00a0Let’s take a look at the key results of the 2014 Employer Branding Global Trends Study.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1) Who is creating the employer brand? <\/span><\/h5>\n

Creating an employer brand is commonly left up to HR (36% respondents)<\/strong>, however it isn’t unusual for the marketing department (11%) or the CEO (8%)<\/strong> to take control of this. Establishing a clear strategy is something that needs to be worked on across the globe. More than a third of the companies (35%) have an employer brand strategy but believe it can be further developed.<\/p>\n

2) Social media leading the way <\/span><\/h5>\n

This one doesn\u2019t surprise me: The top approach to brand enhancement is social media (58%)<\/strong>. This is the preferred method for Australia, Scandinavia, Spain, USA\/Canada and India. Other popular methods for brand establishment are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • through the development of the company career website<\/strong> (56%, primary approach for Asia, New Zealand and Poland)<\/li>\n
  • recruitment advertising and employer marketing (52%)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • recruitment branding (45%)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • induction program (45% and top method for Romania and South Africa)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • developing brand strategy (39%)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For 2014, the main mediums for communicating the employer brand were:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • career website<\/strong> (Asia, USA\/Canada, Europe (other), Belarus, Romania, Russia, South America, Turkey, UAE, UK, Ukraine)<\/li>\n
    • social media (Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Spain)<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • career fairs (Poland)<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • on campus activities (India<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      3) What do candidates want?<\/span><\/h5>\n

      What I find really interesting are the following stats. What are candidates attracted to? Actually, this differs from country to country. Here are the top factors in attracting candidates:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • compensation and benefits (Asia, Spain, Poland, Romania)<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • corporate reputation and culture (NZ, UAE, South Africa, South America)<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • leadership (Australia, Europe (other), Scandinavia, UK)<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • work environment (USA\/Canada, Turkey)<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • recruitment and induction processes (India)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        4) Here you go – The biggest challenges<\/span><\/h5>\n

        Different countries have different challenges to overcome:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • being creative<\/strong> to distinguish their employment offering (Spain, Belarus, Turkey)<\/li>\n
        • senior leadership engagement<\/strong> (Europe, New Zealand, India)<\/li>\n
        • obtaining an adequate budget<\/strong> (Australia, Scandinavia, USA\/USA, Russia, South Africa, South America, Ukraine)<\/li>\n
        • communicating key employer brand messages<\/strong> across different departments (Asia, Poland)<\/li>\n
        • coordinating key employer brand messages<\/strong> across different departments (Romania, UAE, UK)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          5) How do they measure employer branding, actually? <\/span><\/h5>\n

          At first glance, it might appear difficult to measure your employer branding success. However there are some KPIs that you should take into consideration.<\/strong> Let\u2019s have a look at how countries around the world are measuring employer branding R.O.I.:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • employee engagement (Asia, NZ, Scandinavia, USA\/Canada, Turkey, UAE)<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • retention rate (Spain, EU (other))<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • number of applicants<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • quality of hire (Australia)<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • cost of hire (UK)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            6) The main benefits from having a strong employer brand:<\/span><\/h5>\n

            The outcome of a strong employer brand is considerable: it helps you get lots of qualified applicants and reduces your cost-per-hire. But have a look for yourself:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • ease in attracting candidates (Asia, Australia, Europe, Scandinavia, USA\/Canada, Romania, South America, UAE, UK)<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • decreased time to fill (Belarus, Russia)<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • increase in unsolicited resumes (South Africa)<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • higher job acceptance rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              We can see that approaches and benefits of employer branding differ distinctly throughout the world. However it is clear that despite these differences, companies are united in the fact that developing a strong brand is a high priority in attracting and retaining the best employees.<\/p>\n
