How To Create A
Smokin’ Hot Employment Brand
Checklist For Success
Using LinkedIn
Follow this guide to create a great employment branding campaign
and hire top quality talent while minimizing recruitment costs
CHECKLIST FOR
SUCCESS
EMPLOYMENT BRANDING
1.0 VS. 2.0
EMPLOYMENT BRANDING
1.0 VS. 2.0
The 1.0 strategy is like playing checkers. The 2.0 technique is like playing Monopoly.
Which one involves business?
2.0
● Treat applicants like
potential customers.
● Use social media (like
LinkedIn) to find
candidates.
1.0
● Post openings on
many job boards.
● Post the same jobs
on your
company website.
COMPANY PAGE
Include a header image
that catches the visitors’
eye.
● Bright colors draw attention;
use different colors to evoke
different moods.
● Action forces people to
carefully examine what is
happening in an image.
● People automatically make
photos more interesting to
us. We’re social creatures
after all!
Have a description of the
company that shows how
it makes a difference in
the business world.
● Don’t use industry
terms, because even
when used correctly,
they can sound stuffy.
● The best employees
want their work to
have a purpose. Show
them yours.
● Use simple, clear
language, and make it
brief.
Post status updates
that teach visitors about
the company, its news
and the values it holds.
● Each update is a chance
to show the world what
your company is like.
● If you provide value in
an update, you’ll earn the
trust of your readers.
● Post regularly to stay on
your followers’ minds &
reach a larger portion of
your audience.
CAREERS PAGE
Add an intriguing image to
engage job seekers.
● Most people are visual learners,
so give them something
stimulating to look at.
● Tell a story with your pictures.
● Sneak your logo into the image
if you’d like.
Include a title that shows how visitors would fit in well.
● Talk about the importance of great employees.
● Share the impact they can have on your company.
● Boil your company’s goals down to just a few words.
Write a description that shows what the company does
without using corporate jargon.
● Don’t give every detail you have.
● Share the details most important to your current employees.
● Chances are, they’re what’s important to potential employees.
Use Strong visual
elements (a video, slide
deck or infographic).
● You can say much more
with photos than text (and
even more with videos
than photos).
● Viewers are 144% more
likely to buy from you
after seeing a video.
● Why wouldn’t employees
be the same way?
JOB POSTINGS
Craft clear job postings,
not fancy titles or
descriptions. (No ninjas!)
● For LinkedIn to show your
openings to the right
people, you need to label
things clearly.
● Play Family Feud with your
descriptions.
● Make it easy to search, so
great applicants can find
you, and LinkedIn can find
more great passive
candidates!
Make status updates
that teach visitors
about the company, its
news and its values.
● We’re repeating this for a
reason.
● Status updates are the
building blocks of great
branding.
● Don’t take 45 days to
write ONE, but still take
them seriously.
Choose a title that is concise.
● If there is a commonly-used title for the job, use it!
● There’s nothing wrong with an, “Account Executive” opening.
● It’s much better than, “Sales Guru.”
Produce a job description
that is easy to read.
● Bullets and numbered sections
are good.
● White space makes it even better.
● Easy to read = easy to consider
applying!
Craft an about this
company section that
explains the company’s
strengths, purpose and
goals.
● Mention how important
employees are to your
company’s success.
● Include some visual content (a
photo, video, infographic or
slide deck).
● As usual, telling a story is
better than listing facts.
Regular status updates are
baaaaack…
● Pepper the jobs you have open in
with your other updates.
● Be cognizant of when & how often
you promote open jobs to get a good
mix.
● Even if they like your company,
followers won’t join your team if
you don’t ask them to!
SHOWCASE PAGES
Pick a catchy header image.
● There are fewer words allowed in a Showcase Page description.
● The image needs to be powerful.
● Like the other photos you have, use bright colors, action, and people.
Show a description of the product/service you’re promoting.
● Use a brief description of the product/service that shows how it makes a difference in the business
world. (You only have 200 characters or less. This bullet is 177 characters.)
● State the purpose of the showcase page as quickly as possible.
Status updates are even more
important for Showcase
Pages!
● You thought that wasn’t
possible, didn’t you?
● Treat your Showcase Page (and
its updates) as a chapter in the
“book” of your company’s
LinkedIn pages.
● Make sure the updates shared
here add up to a consistent
story.
CONTENT
Select the content format
carefully.
● Each content format has its own
strengths and weaknesses.
● Videos are great for introductory
info if they’re short.
● Whitepapers can provide lots of
details in an organized manner.
● Quotes and photos are especially
shareable.
Make it easy to navigate from one piece of content to another.
● Connect every piece back to other content.
● If someone is reading introductory content, link to more of that, or link to
what the next step might be.
● Don’t introduce yourself to someone then immediately ask them to apply.
Talk about your
employees and what
they’re able to achieve
with their teammates.
● Google chooses rock stars
and makes them rock
legends.
● Show how you treat your
employees.
● The more genuine
(or funnier), the better.
Give evidence that your
company is a thought-
leader/value provider.
● If you create it, it may
sound arrogant.
● If we create it, it is more
credible by default.
● A major publication
attracts major attention.
● We average more than 1
Million pageviews/month.
Call for applications & referrals for your open jobs.
● Include your employees in the search to amplify your reach.
● LinkedIn’s forte is the strength of networks.
● Each person that encounters your brand has a network you may not have tapped
yet!
Employment Branding can reduce your hiring costs
(especially if you’re currently using a recruiter),
AND it doubles as great PR!

  • 22. Pick a catchy header image. ● There are fewer words allowed in a Showcase Page description. ● The image needs to be powerful. ● Like the other photos you have, use bright colors, action, and people.
  • 23. Show a description of the product/service you’re promoting. ● Use a brief description of the product/service that shows how it makes a difference in the business world. (You only have 200 characters or less. This bullet is 177 characters.) ● State the purpose of the showcase page as quickly as possible.
  • 24. Status updates are even more important for Showcase Pages! ● You thought that wasn’t possible, didn’t you? ● Treat your Showcase Page (and its updates) as a chapter in the “book” of your company’s LinkedIn pages. ● Make sure the updates shared here add up to a consistent story.
  • 26. Select the content format carefully. ● Each content format has its own strengths and weaknesses. ● Videos are great for introductory info if they’re short. ● Whitepapers can provide lots of details in an organized manner. ● Quotes and photos are especially shareable.
  • 27. Make it easy to navigate from one piece of content to another. ● Connect every piece back to other content. ● If someone is reading introductory content, link to more of that, or link to what the next step might be. ● Don’t introduce yourself to someone then immediately ask them to apply.
  • 28. Talk about your employees and what they’re able to achieve with their teammates. ● Google chooses rock stars and makes them rock legends. ● Show how you treat your employees. ● The more genuine (or funnier), the better.
  • 29. Give evidence that your company is a thought- leader/value provider. ● If you create it, it may sound arrogant. ● If we create it, it is more credible by default. ● A major publication attracts major attention. ● We average more than 1 Million pageviews/month.
  • 30. Call for applications & referrals for your open jobs. ● Include your employees in the search to amplify your reach. ● LinkedIn’s forte is the strength of networks. ● Each person that encounters your brand has a network you may not have tapped yet!
