The Brand Playbook To Transform Talent Acquisition
Attracting Top Talent that will Stick Around
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.
