Employer Branding Agency Services

A smooth and successful candidate to employee journey starts with an excellent employer brand.

With our expert employer branding strategy, you can position your company as the right choice for candidates. You’ll be able to reach deeper into the passive candidate market, increase applications and create real advocacy in the hires you make.

At We Optimise, we help large, multi-site companies turn employer branding into a measurable recruitment asset.

What is an employer brand?

Your employer brand is how people perceive your company as a place to work. It’s the story candidates tell themselves about what it would feel like to join your organisation, before they even apply.

It lives in:

  • Your job ads or careers website
  • Your messaging and social presence
  • Your Glassdoor reviews
  • The onboarding experience

Why your employer brand matters

If you’re wondering why employer branding is important in a volume hiring environment, here’s the simple answer: Because small inefficiencies scale fast.

When you’re recruiting hundreds (or thousands) of frontline, operational or delivery-based roles across regions, every gap in your employer brand multiplies.

Employer branding corrects assumptions and, in a competitive market, helps you to stand out. It’s your distinctive identity – the look, feel and message that convinces top talent that your company is somewhere they want to work.

A strong employer brand improves:

  • Application completion rates
  • Interview attendance
  • Offer acceptance rates

How we can help

Recruitment marketing audit

We start with data and avoid any guesswork.
We analyse application and drop-off points, channel performance and regional variations. This helps us understand what actually drives successful hires in your environment, pinpoint any issues and provide a strategy for improvement including crafting compelling content to engage candidates.

Clear Employer Value Proposition (EVP)

We define a consistent, compelling Employer Value Proposition that works across regions, workforce types and campaign channels.
If you’re a multi-regional employer, consistency is key, especially when attracting new talent. Your message in Manchester must align with your message in Milton Keynes, while still feeling locally relevant.

Candidate journey optimisation

We align your employer brand across:

  • Careers sites
  • Job adverts
  • Paid campaigns
  • Application journeys
  • Communication touchpoints
  • Onboarding content

For high volume hiring, we understand:

  • Speed-to-hire pressure
  • Compliance demands
  • Regional workforce challenges
  • Cost sensitivity
  • The operational realities of frontline workforces
