Employer Brand Strategy Handbook

Why this handbook matters

Top candidates compare employers the same way customers compare brands. If your employer brand is unclear, generic, or inconsistent, you lose talent, pay more to hire, and see higher turnover. This handbook gives you a complete system to diagnose your reputation, craft a differentiated EVP, and turn it into a concrete employer brand strategy that your team can execute.

Instead of theory, you get ready to use frameworks, templates, scorecards, and examples that can be applied to your organisation in real time.

Who this is for

  • Executives and founders who need a clear, credible employer brand to support growth
  • HR directors and talent leaders who want a structured employer brand playbook
  • Employer brand and communication teams looking for practical tools, not buzzwords
  • Fast growing companies that must compete with larger brands for specialised talent

What you will learn

  • How employer branding really works today and why internal and external reputation must align
  • A simple diagnostic to measure current employer brand health and identify your priority gaps
  • How to design a differentiated Employee Value Proposition that is credible, relevant, and easy to use
  • Messaging architecture to turn your EVP into headlines, pillar messages, and proof points
  • How to position your employer brand in a crowded talent market and segment your audiences
  • Content pillars and storytelling frameworks for careers pages, LinkedIn, and social media
  • How to integrate employer branding into recruitment, onboarding, management, and culture
  • Measurement dashboards and KPIs to track progress and prove business impact
