of different associations. By influencing those associations
you can drive your Employer Brand in the right direction.

To which employers are your target group
attracted? Are these employers active within the
same industry as you? What makes them
attractive?
What drives your primary target group? What do
they really want from their careers? Is this
something you can offer?
What can set you aside from the competition?
Should you re-think your messaging? What do
you communicate today?
How does your target audience learn about
employers today? Are you visible in these
channels, and if so, what story do you tell?

The Talent
Insight Report
Understanding talent is the first step to becoming a more
attractive employer.
• Attracting and recruiting the right people is a challenging
task. Save time and money, and avoid the risk of
communicating things that do not resonate with your
target groups.
• Working with market intelligence will give you invaluable
insights into the talent market. As many companies take
advantage of fact-based decision-making, slow-
adapters will attempt to navigate talent attraction in the
dark.
This is a strategic tool that empowers
you to capture the right talent by
providing deep insights about the
attitudes and preferences of your key
talent groups and gives guidance on
which topics to focus on and
communicate going forward.

from a career and are looking for in an employer,
all based on Universum’s scientific Employer
Branding framework.

and see how you need to adapt your message when
communicating with the different groups.
