Think back to your first day at your current job. There were a million thoughts running through your head. Maybe you had butterflies in your stomach, anxious to make a good first impression. Most likely, you felt excited and curious. And you were probably hoping you made the right decision and would finally feel like you found the company that you belong with. But at some point in time, that eagerness and enthusiasm turn to dread and apprehension. Why do most new employees, even the most ambitious ones, seem to quietly slip through the cracks of some organizations after only a few months? Because their employee onboarding experience lacked the necessary ingredients.

What are you doing to stand out in a sea of black and white, Times New Roman job ads?
Ten days. On average, top candidates are only “on the market” for ten days. It’s more critical than ever to stand out and attract people early in their job search. Your job ad is your first chance to paint a clear picture about an opportunity with your organization. Make a great impression and engage job seekers by getting creative and telling a story.

We are always looking for ways to improve the employee journey. Lucky for us, we get to guinea pig lots of our ideas on ourselves. We recently noticed a small breakdown in the branding experience for candidates at the offer letter stage. What a missed opportunity!
The offer letter represents a key milestone in the employee journey. But we were still stuck in a rut of celebrating this milestone with a black and white, boring, legal document that required a magnifying glass and a full team of lawyers to read. Okay, it wasn’t that bad - but you get the idea. It got us thinking - how can we use the offer letter as a tool to build engagement with new employees, instead of just another hoop to jump through?

Receiving hundreds of applications for your job doesn’t mean you will be successful in attracting top talent for your position. You know this. In fact, you’re probably living this.
How can you find the balance between the right quantity and the right quality of candidates? Hiring is time consuming and expensive - especially if you hire the wrong people. Especially in today’s market, with fierce competition for top talent. With Canada’s unemployment rate at 5.8%, it’s more difficult than ever for employers to attract and retain talent for their companies - much less top talent.
How are you positioning yourself as a competitor in the talent market?

Catch people doing things right more often than you catch people doing things wrong. - Elena Romero
Early in my career I had the pleasure of working closely with Elena Romero, a fantastic people leader who is one of my key mentors. Elena’s advice has stuck with me, and is the foundation of my philosophy around employee recognition: simplicity, consistency, and authenticity.

Simply put, your employer brand is how your business "shows up" in the talent marketplace as an employer, to both current and prospective employees.
