The evolution of employer branding has been like a whirlwind over the past decade. At first, after 1996, when the term was first coined, it did not really pick up, and there was nothing.
With the evolution of the Internet and later social media, recruitment campaigns started to take off. More recently, campaigns have been followed by strategic employer branding with long-term impact and perspective, and the application of technology, science and artificial intelligence.
With the development of AI, we are now in the phase where AI also interacts with employer branding and for that, Jay Kipps makes a great podcast guest.
My name is Susanna Rantanen. I’m here to guide you to make the most of your employer branding and recruitment marketing career to experience professional joy, achievement and success.
And if you’re new to this podcast, welcome here, my friend. I hope you’re going to stay with us. You want to make this podcast as part of your weekly routine if you work in employer branding or talent acquisition.
In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jay Kipps from The Martec.

The Evolution of Employer Branding in Brief
The evolution of employer branding is a fascinating journey from its humble beginnings to its current status as a key strategy for attracting and retaining top talent. Despite the term having been coined already in 1996, it has taken over two decades for employer branding to become an indispensable part of an organisation’s identity.
Employer branding has evolved into a multifaceted strategy beyond job advertisements and recruitment campaigns.
Today, employer branding is seen as a strategic asset – especially in organisations where the top management has seen the critical role of successful talent attraction and retention for business success.
More HR and talent acquisition professionals are learning about the potential of creating a compelling narrative that resonates with potential and existing employees, showcasing a company’s culture, values, and mission.
This shift reflects a deeper understanding of what drives job seekers to align with a company, beyond salary and benefits. It’s about engagement, alignment, and the promise of being part of something meaningful.
