This document discusses the importance of measuring an employer brand's effectiveness beyond just marketing campaign metrics. It emphasizes measuring longer-term brand perceptions, hire quality, employee engagement, retention, and business performance. The document recommends differentiating between short-term campaign metrics and longer-term brand and performance metrics. It also suggests using new joiner surveys to understand brand expectations and the candidate experience in order to identify gaps and improve the onboarding process. Developing an employer brand index to assess how well the organization is delivering on its employer value proposition is also recommended.

15. Target Profile and Talent Pool
• Let’s first assume you’ve defined the kind of people
you’re looking for in terms of aptitude and culture fit
• They’re out there.
• You want to get their attention.
• Build a positive relationship with your brand.
• And ideally join and commit themselves to your
organization as high performing employees.
16. Assessing Your External Talent Pool and Brand Engagement Levels
• This target talent pool will have different relationships with your brand
• The stronger your employer brand the more likely your target talent are to consider you
• You need to clarify your starting point before you can assess your success
Actively engaged Unaware / Disengaged
17. Assessing Your External Talent Pool and Brand Engagement Levels
• The first step is to assess the current size, quality and level of engagement with your Talent Pool(s)
o ATS data / LinkedIn members and followers
Qualified candidates
Immediate talent pool: Active followers
Accessible talent pool: Accurate contacts
Total talent pool: e.g. estimated number of qualified engineers

• However, you might consider:
o Commissioning an ad hoc image survey focusing on key target groups
o Adding employer image questions to corporate / customer image surveys
o Adding image questions to your new joiner survey
20. Recruitment Marketing Effectiveness
• Identifying the content / media mix that will help you maximize the size and quality of

Notas del editor
In previous presentations we’ve tended to focus on campaign measurement, but we thought it would be useful to take a wider look at employer brand metrics and linkages which we believe to be equally important but generally receive less attention.
During this webinar I’d like to demonstrate the relationship between campaign measurement and other types of measure which we believe companies should also consider incorporating into their metrics dashboards.
To fully understand the all round strength and value of your employer brand you need to follow it through the full employment lifecycle from first awareness to full employee engagement and advocacy.
I’m going to be making the case for switching your attention from cost per hire to quality of hire, paying closer attention to brand experience and trying to make more use of data linkages to fully understand the role of the employer brand in driving value within the business.
Data analysis has become a sexier subject over the last few years. Thomas Davenport and DJ Patil recently claimed in HBR that the sexiest 21st century jobs would be in data science. You should note that they are data scientists themselves, in which case this may well be blatant self promotion. Alternatively, you might conclude that they ran the numbers and reached the solid data driven conclusion that data nerds are now officially sexy.
I’d like to start with the three categories I mentioned in the introduction. Old Spice like Data Science used to be thought of as rather musty, and decidedly unsexy.
Then came the refresh. There was a new marketing campaign – ‘The man your man could smell like’ -> which resulted in a surge in brand engagement and more positive brand perceptions. In turn this produced a surge in brand performance. In other words they started to sell a lot more product.
Of course marketing teams and their agencies generally claim success. Marketing people by nature are sunny side up kind of people. However, the money men who determine investment like to see the numbers, and the more diligent marketers also like to understand what has driven the success, so they can repeat it, and build on it.
For this you need three kinds of measure – Investments made in different kinds of marketing activity. Measures that help you to evaluate the effect of these activities on brand perception. And finally, the impact that these changes in brand perception have made on the business.
In Old Spice’s case, the campaign involved a significant financial investment. Unsurprising considering it was launched in a Super Bowl ad break. However, from a media efficiency perspective they hit gold as when the ad was posted on YouTube it generated more views in 3 days than Obama’s inauguration speech. It also generated significant levels of active brand engagement on Facebook and other social channels. And the ultimate brand engagement – product sales – rose sharply. This was truly the sweet smell of success.
In many respects what I have shown you is still campaign measurement. Awareness, brand engagement and advocacy are ‘buzz’ metrics. They can be shown to generate sharp spikes in sales activity, but the big question from a brand perspective is what about the long term effect. Once you remove the campaign stimulus – what is left behind in terms of lasting brand perceptions and brand loyalty?
What we are taking about here is brand equity - lasting perceptions of the brand (as opposed to the campaign) that will continue to deliver lasting value. Just think about Apple for a moment, a company that has generated an incredibly high level of brand equity. This means you seldom see advertising for new Apple products. It now takes very little to persuade people to buy apple products because they are already bought into the brand.
So, how does this translate over the employer brand measurement? Well, the marketing measures and brand measures are very similar. The difference is in the performance measures. The ultimate goal is not loyal and frequent purchasers, but high quality and highly engaged talent.
The other major difference is that there is a much bigger focus on measuring the brand experience. Your relationship with an aftershave is pretty simple. You either like the smell or you don’t. It either makes you feel fresh and manly or it doesn’t. It either finds favour among your target audience, or you make a change…
The important starting point is to be clear about what you’re aiming for. Your can’t measure whether you’re hiring and engaging the right people until you’ve defined what the right kind of talent means within your organization.
You also need to be clear about what you’d like people to associate with you as an employer and why. The one thing you most want to be famous for - your core positioning, and the other top of mind qualities you’d like to ensure are consistently associated with.
Everyone wants to be seen positively. Be an employer of choice. What are you promising that makes you different?
When you’re clear about who you want to attract and engage, and what you want them to think and feel, then it’s a lot easier to work out the kind of marketing content and media mix that will deliver on these objectives.
So starting with your target profile – it pays to define the kind of people you’re looking for in terms of ability and culture fit, the latter being more general, but in some respects often overlaps with general aptitude such as open-mindedness, tenacity, ability to work in a team etc.
It might of course include some key talent groups where technical ability is a key factor, such as engineers.
The kind of people you will have different existing relationships with your brand, from close affinity to unawareness, or worse, active disregard. What the evidence suggests is that the stronger your employer brand reputation, the more likely it is that your target talent will consider your company to be a potential employer. CEB’s research suggests that with similar levels of awareness a strong employer brand will be able to access at least 20% more of the available talent pool than weak employer brands.
It pays to estimate the current health of your talent pool, in order to judge the effect of your marketing efforts. Most companies have focused on the number of qualified candidates their marketing efforts produce, but you can’t really judge the wider value of your brand unless you look further.
The problem with these general external brand engagement figures is that it only addresses your general objectives – to be known and well regarded. It doesn’t tell you what you’re known for, and how this might compare with your key talent competitors. For those leading companies who target students this kind of data is available through providers like Universum and Trendence. For company A above, they clearly have some way to go if they want to compete for student talent on the basis of being an innovation-driven organization.
There are alternatives for mid-career talent, but they are generally more complex and expensive to administer.
Turning to marketing effectiveness – the immediate aim may be to generate a healthy flow of high quality candidates, but there are other broader, more long term objectives that should also be considered.
With the right software it is now possible to estimate not only the return of different media investments on applications and hires, but also the extended media interactions that may take place before an application is made. Through this kind of tracking you can now begin to evaluate the influence of your social media content on application and offer acceptance.
The key indicator for most employers evaluating marketing effectiveness is cost per hire – which is of course important when your budgets are limited – however, it only provides part of the picture.
Beyond the relative impact of different media, it’s also important to consider the wider effect of your employer brand on cost per hire.
While cost is important – the ultimate test of your marketing success is quality. It’s a bit like the Old Spice campaign. Generating a lot of buzz may generate a lot of trial purchases, but unless you’re building longer term repeat purchase and loyalty, then you’re failing.
The contribution of employer brand marketing to high quality talent and performance is clearly more complex than calculating cost per hire. There’s a lot more going on under the waterline than seeing an ad, visiting Facebook and making an application.
You need to understand people’s brand perceptions and expectations, the quality of their candidate experience, the effectiveness of the selection process and the success of orientation before you can adequately judge what’s driving your success or failure in attracting, engaging and retaining high quality talent.
Much of this information you can glean from a well constructed New Joiners Survey.
And don’t forget the longer term picture, beyond the first year. The true strength and vitality of your employer brand ultimately depends on the quality of your employment experience, and your consistent ability to deliver against your employer brand promises.
For this reason your employee engagement survey should be considered as a vital contributor to your employer brand metrics.
Let me give you a couple of examples..
The first shows a simple set of questions relating to the core positioning and pillars of a leading FMCG company. The employer brand index is simply the aggregate positive score derived from these 5 questions. In year 1 you can see the employer brand index is reasonably strong overall, but the figures also show relative weakness in two of the 4 pillars. Following 2 years of focused employer brand communication and targeted improvements in people management relating to the EVP you can see a marked improvement in perceptions of the EVP. You can also see how this has translated into much stronger employee advocacy and retention.
You can see a similar pattern here. In this case we are showing how different internal perceptions of EVP delivery (again measured by questions relating to each of the EVP elements) correlate with different levels of employee retention. The top 10% of all retail branches (with a 10% higher than average assessment of their employer brand experience) have a 2% lower than average employee turnover, and the bottom 20% have 5% higher levels of employee turnover.
When the same bank conducted linkage analysis across its retail estate it also discovered that the locations with the highest internal employer brand delivery scores also had the highest levels of customer satisfaction and sales. In addition it discovered that the correlation between high employer brand delivery scores and customer / sales performance were significantly higher than for employee engagement alone.
In summary, you should ideally be tracking employer brand strength across every step in the employment lifecycle from flirting to happy ever after.
