The Brand Playbook To Transform Talent Acquisition
The days of relying on job boards and hoping people cruise over to your website to view your job openings are over. To attract A-players in 2025 and beyond, you need more than a careers page—you need a team of brand ambassadors sharing real stories, real wins, and real lessons.
The secret? Teach your people how to build authentic personal brands on LinkedIn and empower them to do so.
When your employees become your loudest advocates, you don't just fill roles—you build a magnetic culture that top talent wants to join. Why does this strategy work? Because people don't work for companies. They work for people.
Forget corporate jargon. Start building trust, one authentic post at a time. Here's where to begin:
Your People are Your Pipeline
The best candidates aren't browsing job boards—they're following people whom they admire and connect with.
Content is Currency
Top talent is attracted to great voices, not just great companies, which may help to explain why your top candidate just took a role with a lesser-known company.
Leaders go First
Set the example, as you never want to ask people to do something you as a leader wouldn't do.
Remove any Obstacles
If you want your team to build brands, make it easy to do so.
Engagement over Clicks
Vanity metrics don't attract talent. Conversations do.
Recognition and Employee Incentives
People repeat behavior that gets acknowledged and rewarded.
Strong personal brands are magnetic. Stop chasing talent and start attracting it. If you want to attract the best talent, this is your playbook.

Tea, an app for women to safely talk about men they date, has been breached, user IDs exposed
Tea, an app designed to let women safely discuss men they date has been breached, with thousands of selfies and photo IDs of users exposed, the company confirmed on Friday. Tea said that about 72,000 images were leaked online, including 13,000 images of selfies or selfies featuring a photo identification that users submitted during account verification. Another 59,000 images publicly viewable in the app from posts, comments and direct messages were also accessed without authorization, according to a Tea spokesperson. No email addresses or phone numbers were accessed, the company said, and the breach only affects users who signed up before February 2024. 'Tea has engaged third-party cybersecurity experts and are working around the clock to secure its systems,' the company said. 'At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that additional user data was affected. Protecting tea users' privacy and data is their highest priority.' Tea presents itself as a safe way for women to anonymously vet men they might connect with on dating apps such as Tinder or Bumble — ensuring that your date is 'safe, not a catfish, and not in a relationship.' 'Tea is a must-have app, helping women avoid red flags before the first date with dating advice, and showing them who's really behind the profile of the person they're dating,' reads Tea's app store description. 404 Media, which earlier reported the breach, said it was 4Chan users who discovered an exposed database that 'allowed anyone to access the material' from Tea. 'While reporting this story, a URL the 4chan user posted included a voluminous list of specific attachments associated with the Tea app. 404 Media saw this list of files. In the last hour or so, that page was locked down, and now returns a 'Permission denied' error,' 404 Media reported Friday. Tea said in an Instagram post this week that it has reached 4 million users.
