Fuzzy Math: What Employer Brand Metrics Should You Be Measuring?
Recruiting Daily
December 22, 2016
Brand is one of those business concepts that is difficult to define, much less measure. Employer brand is no different. Even knowing what to measure remains something of a mystery: should it be more about the overall number of applicants for open positions, or should we focus on the quality of those applicants?

Should we measure brand on market sentiment or should we survey how our brand value stacks up against the competition?

There is no easy answer, I’m afraid. For me, it’s always been clear that if I’m personally taking action on something, those actions must be measured to have meaning.

1 Speaker
Linkedin, Future of Work, Social Selling, Employer Branding and Personal Branding related topics with insight

Location: Online    Fees: Negotiated

Service Type: Service Offered

For the past 10+ years I've traveled the world (and participated remotely) to various speaking engagements and training sessions across Europe, Middle East/North Africa, Asia and North America, and have presented 100+ trainings / keynotes per year. Now during Covid-19 just about all physical events have been either postponed, cancelled or been transformed to online events. The travel time now saved and somewhat less bookings in the calendar, I now have some room to join online events as a guest speaker, keynote and/or panelist in the before mentioned topics, which I believe to have great and unique insight into. If you're looking for an award winning author and keynote speaker, get in touch and let's talk! Also podcasts and video interviews possible.

Topics: Linkedin, Future of Work, Social Selling, Employer Branding, Social Media Recruitment, Personal Branding, B2B Marketing
