Use case

Employer branding and internal comms

You are hiring engineers in a market where they choose. Candidates research you the way buyers do, and internally your team hears about company news from LinkedIn instead of from you.

What a candidate finds Present

Team content None
Employee posts Occasional
Internal comms Email only
A candidate researches for ten minutes before applying. This is what those ten minutes return.
The challenge

Candidates and employees read the same signals

Employer branding is not a campaign for HR to run alone. The same content that makes a candidate apply is what makes an existing employee stay proud of where they work.

A careers page with no company in it

Job descriptions and a stock photo. Nothing about the work, the stack, the people or how decisions get made.

Nobody talks about the work

Engineers publish nothing, so the strongest proof you could offer — your own team explaining what they build — does not exist.

Internal news arrives last

Staff learn about launches, wins and changes from an external post. Trust erodes faster than any campaign can rebuild it.

What should be done

Start inside, then let the team speak

Employer branding starts with the material employees use every day. External content only works once the internal picture is consistent.

01
Get the internal material right
Templates, onboarding decks and internal documents that look like one company rather than five different ones.
02
Teams backgrounds and meeting assets
The branded details people see in every call, internal and external.
03
Email signatures
Consistent, current signatures across the company — the most-seen asset you own and usually the most neglected.
04
Write down the company values
What the company actually rewards and how decisions are made. Specific enough that a new joiner recognises it in week one.
05
Collect employee stories
Short interviews with engineers, managers and recent joiners about the work they do.
06
Publish it on LinkedIn
Those interviews and team stories shared on the company page and by employees themselves, where candidates are looking.
07
Set an internal rhythm
A regular internal update on wins, launches and changes that goes out before anything external does.
How it should be done

The first 90 days

Days 1–30

Listen and define

Interview recent joiners and long-timers. Write the employer story from what they actually say.

Days 31–60

Build the assets

Careers page, team content and the internal update format live and running.

Days 61–90

Amplify and hire

Employee posting supported, targeted reach behind open roles, and time-to-hire reviewed against the baseline.

Employer branding fails when marketing writes it alone. The material has to come from the team, or the first interview will contradict it.
