When searching for a new employer, candidates typically ask themselves four questions about a company: Where will I work? What am I going to be doing there? How does that feel? And what will I get in return?
We help you find the answers to these questions and develop a central employer promise. Instruments for this include, for example, the screening of existing material, a joint EPP workshop or the conducting of target group analyses, telephone interviews, and focus groups. After evaluating, comparing, and summarizing the results; we will develop your EPP content, provide a detailed description of it, and document it accordingly. In addition, we work with you to determine the core messages for your target groups.

Based on your positioning as an employer and your target and budgetary requirements, we work with you to develop a basic communication strategy that can be used for the years to come. We are also at your side when it comes to media planning tailored to your target groups and the switching of the individual media.

A creative central theme conveys your position and strategy through image and language. We formulate your communications based on this theme. From online and print job ads, flyers and brochures, HR image ads on your careers website, online banners, and social media profiles to the equipment for recruiting fairs, radio ads, and recruiting videos – we make your employer brand visible and bring it to life. We don’t just dig deep; we “build up” your presence as an employer, exactly as you need it to be: individual, goal-oriented, and brave.

Every target group is different. Accordingly, we tailor media and messages precisely. Whether educational and university marketing or professional marketing for another popular target group of experienced professionals, such as IT experts, engineers, technical specialists, or service technicians: We ensure that your brand reaches desired candidates as intended.

The best marketing is of no use if it is too short. For many, the communication stops with the job posting. But at this point, another important phase in the candidate acquisition process begins: the application process, during which it is also very important to make your brand come alive. For example, with brand-appropriate responses in correspondences with the applicant, such as a reply letter, an invitation to a job  interview, etc.. We continue to keep this brand experience alive even after hiring: With appropriate onboarding measures and continuous brand-appropriate internal employer communications.

The brand is offered continued life through the ongoing review of the goals achieved and through its consistently uniform design and implementation. This will help your company be recognized more quickly. We will create manuals and style guides for you, in which the individual elements of the brand identity are described and strict design guidelines are defined. So that this new brand presence can also unfold its great power internally, we also have plenty of ideas on how you can communicate your employer brand in your internal communications. To turn your employees into brand ambassadors.
