Let’s be honest—hiring is tough right now. Candidates aren’t just looking for a paycheck; they’re looking for a company they actually want to work for. That’s where employer branding comes in.
A strong employer brand makes all the difference. 86% of employees and job seekers research company reviews and ratings before even applying, meaning that if your company has a bad rep, you might not even get a chance with top talent

Not only that, but a positive work environment means employees are more likely to stay, reducing costly turnover. Companies with strong employer brands reduce turnover by up to 28%

Time to clean up those Glassdoor reviews, highlight your team’s successes, and let people see what makes your company a great place to work.
