More than ever, candidates seek roles in organisations that reflect their core values. Surveys indicate that shared values and flexible work environments are critical to employment brands for many people.
Lower unemployment figures and higher expectations of candidates mean organisations need to improve their recruitment brands. The media is one of the most credible and fastest ways to improve your profile to potential team members.
Best place to work benchmark surveys
One of the most potent ways to increase the value of your employment brand is to qualify in the top ten of ‘Best place to work benchmark surveys; however, if you’re not in that top ten, does that imply you are not a good place to work? The problem with benchmarking surveys is that they usually have a small sample group, which might exclude your organisation. What’s significant about these surveys is the amount of attention from the media they garner. Why not work with the media to create buzz around your employment brand? With an online newsroom like Lookatmedia™, you can.

Real people, real stories
Journalists are always looking for human interest stories. Instead of talking about diversity, why not create stories about individuals from more diverse backgrounds, how they came to work for you and what they’ve been able to achieve? Stories of real people are much more compelling than motherhood statements or stats.
