Know your audience
Your target market is your ideal candidate, so create a profile of that person.
What is their background?
What defines them?
Where are they online?
Give them a name and a picture – make them real!
Figure out what will capture their attention.
What is that person interested in, what does that person care about, what else are they doing
online?
Position your business
as an expert, authority and place to go for any information or
guidance in their space.
Be relevant, be authentic and be personable.
Create videos, interview your people or industry experts, share information from events, write blog posts and e-books on the state of jobs in your industry, create salary surveys.
Put this content in the right places.

“Brand is simply an organisation, product or service with personality”
Wally Olins

The Value of Brand
We know that strong brands with good reputations have 31% better total return to shareholders than the MSCI World average. (McKinsey Report)
B2B companies with strong brands outperform weak ones by 20%, according to McKinsey Report.
“People’s willingness to buy, recommend, work for and invest in a company is driven 60% by their perceptions of the company, and only 40% by their perceptions of their products.”
Kasper Ulf Nielsen.

Building Awareness on LinkedIn

Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.
- Robert McAfee Brown

“Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell.”
Seth Godin

Recruitment is a story telling business
