Many are demanding better conditions and prioritizing companies that show they care about the well-being of their employees. This movement has given way to a more candidate-driven work market. For this reason, it is important to make it easy for potential employees to see what the values of your organization are and what daily life at your company looks like.

By having an established employer branding they look more trustworthy and caring, as they showcase their achievements, benefits and values more clearly. However, employer branding does not only have an effect on potential employees: the survey also shows that businesses reported a 28% reduction in the organization\u2019s turnover. Current employees can identify themselves more in a defined employer brand and are therefore more loyal to the company they work for.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97dc3ce ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"97dc3ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_text_clip&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The 7 best practices to build a successful employer branding<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6755d16 ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6755d16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_postman_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we have seen the main benefits of a successful employer branding, let\u2019s take a look at the best practices that will make your IT business stand out from the crowd.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5afb615 ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5afb615\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_text_clip&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.

Here are a few pointers to best adapt your employer branding to each platform:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><b>Instagram <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allows for a great variety of content through posts, slideshows, stories, reels, and IGTVs. This platform is used by a large variety of users, aged 18 to 44 years old, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hootsuite.com\/instagram-demographics\/#:~:text=As%20of%202022%2C%20the%20majority,even%20ranking%20it%20above%20TikTok.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60% of users<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> being between the ages of 18 and 34. The content on Instagram should include a variety of informal but still polished content: make sure that the pictures, infographics or videos posted to your company page are visually appealing to users. Last but not least, try to include at least a few monthly trend-based reels, as this format is a user favorite and it is being prioritized by the platform more and more.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li><b>Tik Tok <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the newest addition to the platforms used for employer branding.

It is especially used by an audience between the ages of 10 and 29, but is becoming increasingly popular with users aged 30+ as well. The most used format on this platform is 30 second long videos, but other available formats include 1 or 3 minutes long videos. All of the videos can be directly edited on the app and should be less polished as the ones shared on Instagram. Most importantly, they should feel authentic. The best way to find ideas for content to publish on Tik Tok is to keep an eye on current trends and reinterpret them through the eyes of your brand. In other words, use current trends as mediums to say something about your values or the life at your company.<\/span><\/li><li><b>LinkedIn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the most classic platform when it comes to employer branding. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hootsuite.com\/instagram-demographics\/#:~:text=As%20of%202022%2C%20the%20majority,even%20ranking%20it%20above%20TikTok.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>71% of users<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on LinkedIn are between the ages of 36 and 55.

It also helps humanize your employer brand by associating it with real life experiences. Finally, including your current employees in your communication will also validate the message to the eyes of other potential employees, as candidates trust the company\u2019s employees 3 times more than the company itself to provide credible information.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great example of this strategy on Instagram is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNF1oI9jPHq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google\u2019s profile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where employees are regularly interviewed and asked about their experiences at the company throughout the years. This is especially powerful, as it makes your current employees direct ambassadors for your employer brand. Now if we look at the employer branding of the same company on Tik Tok we can see how the content is more authentic but the strategy remains the same: there is no official company page, but employees become ambassadors of the brand\u00a0 by using hashtags such as #google and #worklife while for example<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kim_johns0n\/video\/6800153681133178118?is_from_webapp=v1&amp;item_id=6800153681133178118&amp;refer=embed&amp;referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Frallyrecruitmentmarketing.com%2F&amp;referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Frallyrecruitmentmarketing.com%2F2020%2F11%2Ftiktok-to-boost-employer-brand%2F&amp;referer_video_id=6800153681133178118\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> giving a tour of the San Francisco office<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81d6dcb ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"81d6dcb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_text_clip&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.

A classic job listing of course can do the job as well, but posting about your internship on platforms such as Tik Tok or Instagram with a tone of voice that aligns with your brand\u2019s values is even better nowadays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Washington Post is a good example to get inspiration for this: they chose to use humour to convey their company culture while promoting their internship through <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@washingtonpost\/video\/6879181229447580933?is_from_webapp=v1&amp;item_id=6879181229447580933&amp;refer=embed&amp;referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Frallyrecruitmentmarketing.com%2F&amp;referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Frallyrecruitmentmarketing.com%2F2020%2F11%2Ftiktok-to-boost-employer-brand%2F&amp;referer_video_id=6879181229447580933\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this Tik Tok<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This will help you even more in building a successful employer brand: having one employee specialize in one or more platforms will make them aware of the newest trends and more knowledgeable about the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of the formats used on those platforms. Another great benefit of always associating one person with your brand, is that users will start to recognize your employer brand as soon as they see one of your posts or videos, which will also boost your company page engagement.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd1893e ob-harakiri-inherit ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dd1893e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_use_harakiri&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_writing_mode&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;_ob_harakiri_text_clip&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;_ob_perspektive_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.

Showcasing this on your social media pages and website is going to inspire current and future employees, especially if they already support the same values on their own. Another benefit of this practice is that your customers might also feel more inclined to choose your company over other competitors because they feel more aligned with the values and social issues you are supporting.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marriott is a great example when it comes to actively advocating for their core values: the company has built a social impact platform called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/serve360.marriott.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serve 360<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which allows them to participate in\u00a0 a great variety of social projects.

These sections do an excellent job in showcasing your employer branding and getting the attention of potential employees, but if you want your organization to stand out in the crowd you should also include an extra optional section called \u201cLife\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This section allows for more freedom in expressing your employer brand. The top of the page displays a large header picture you can use to showcase your mission or vision and below you have the option of adding different sections. One of these sections, for example, allows you to feature the executives of your company, which is a great way of introducing your leadership team to future applicants and allows them to directly visit their LinkedIn profiles to get a better idea of their personality and interests. You can also include plenty of pictures, showing what life at the office is like, your company culture, or what makes your company a great place to work at.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Including all of these aspects in your LinkedIn company page will give a well rounded idea of your identity as a company to applicants without them even having to leave the platform while job hunting!
