#181 How building your Magnetic Employer Brand is like dating – part 2

Blog header #181 How building your Magnetic Employer Brand is like dating - part 2  - Building a modern, magnetic employer brand podcast with Susanna Rantanen

Building the Magnetic Employer Brand equals dating game going strong!

If you just went.. “what the heck?”, great! I wanted you to! I wanted to get your attention and with this part 2 -episode, my intention is to sustain it.

Last week’s episode was part 1 on “How building your employer brand is like dating”.

This week, in this part 2 Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast episode, we will finish with this crazy-sounding idea and see whether we end up married, engaged, or broken up.

If you have not read, listened to or watched last week’s episode, start with it and continue with this one. Otherwise, you may lose the logic, killing your attention and interest in this episode.

In this episode, I continue to refer to The Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ and our framework for the magnetic employer brand communication process called the Candidate Journey of the Information Era™️. These are my brainchildren, even if the candidate’s journey is similar to the systematic customer’s journey.

This game-changing employer branding method [developed for building the magnetic employer brand] harnesses the power of persuasive communication, storytelling, and behavioral science.

It is pivotal in drawing in and retaining talent, especially in industries where the war for talent weighs heavily on the success of the businesses and in organisations that have been going through arduous change processes due to strategy changes and digitalisation.

Reminder: The Candidate Journey of The Information Era™️ Framework

An image visualising the Candidate Journey of the Information Era designed by Susanna Rantanen and one of the core frameworks in the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️.

Last week, I explained ‘The Candidate Journey of the Information Era™️’ framework I created for the on-going communication process vital in building successfully the magnetic employer brand.   

As a reminder, ‘The Candidate Journey of the Information Era™️’ framework pinpoints the vital phases the target talent must go through before they are ready to commit to your organisation. This journey is similar to dating during which you get to know each other with the purpose of seeing whether anything more serious can come out of you two.

‘The Candidate Journey of the Information Era™️’ framework pinpoints the vital phases the target talent must go through before they are ready to commit to your organisation. This journey is similar to dating, during which you get to know each other to see whether anything more serious can come out of you two.

Susanna Rantanen

Like in dating, the candidate journey can take weeks, months, or even years and is individual for each member of your talent audience. Some are more ready to move forward when others are not there yet and prefer to casually seeing you every once in a while without going exclusive.

What makes this specifically a journey of the information era is the winning sustainable attention phase preceding the actual journey. Because of this information-abundance era, winning anyone’s attention has become quite a challenge.

The Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ was designed to overcome this challenge that every single marketer and organisation face on a daily basis with your employees, customers, stakeholders and prospects.

Once you have won sustainable attention, your target audience will be ready to embark on the actual journey. 

What is specific to the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ is how to win sustainable attention, with the keyword being sustainable. You can not keep up with enough campaigns to create sustainable attention, and it quickly becomes very labour-intensive and expensive. 

The phases of the candidate journey go from awareness to affinity and from affinity to conversion, and those phases I explained in more detail in last week’s episode, 180.

I like to explain the awareness and affinity phases as phases where you give, and your audience receives, while the conversion point is your payday. That is when all your employer branding efforts return value for your side. 

In this episode, you’ll learn about the most important phase of your organisation: the conversion phase. But I also explain what needs to happen beyond conversions so that your organisation continues to benefit from your magnetic employer brand.

Behind The Conversion Phase: Human Behaviour and Behavioural Science

The value conversion phase in the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ is often misunderstood because employer branding is too often compared to recruitment campaigns.

I get it. 

The only conversions we are familiar with in HR are those conversions where job seekers convert to applicants, some applicants to candidates and even fewer candidates to new employees.  

The painful shift from what was once an employer’s market and then turned into a job seeker’s market has made talent acquisition more challenging than ever. 

There are multiple reasons to this:

  • Digitalisation has created many new roles and demands for skills and knowledge that have replaced many traditional jobs and roles. 
  • Over the past decade, people have gotten laid off unless they have been motivated to update their skills.
  • For years, the demand for many new skills has exceeded the availability of talents with those skills. There is a consistent shortage of labour in multiple talent markets, which has made hiring difficult for most employees.
  • Furthermore, digitalisation also created a new form of employment called selfpreneurs, people who prefer to employ themselves as freelancers to enjoy more freedom of choice and place of work. I think many employers are still not ready to accept selfpreneurs as equal candidates for a vacancy.

If you are more experienced in work life, meaning that you were already working before the financial crisis around 2009, you know what I’m talking about. This transition, which really hit the world during the financial crisis, has been called the biggest, fastest, and most painful change in work life in human history. 

If, on the other hand, you started your career less than ten years ago, this is all you know. 

You are a born and bred talent of the digital era.

And, this is also your advantage in the war for talent with digital and social skills of this era and an ability to effortlessly adapt to new technologies, innovations and changes stemming from the digital revolution.

This difference in consumer behaviour between those who entered the workforce in the digital era and those who had to relearn and adapt to it is actually greater than we may understand and know.

What is consumer behaviour, and what does it have to do with employer branding?

Consumer behaviour refers to the study of how individuals, groups, and organisations select, buy, use, and dispose of goods, services, ideas, or experiences to satisfy their needs and desires. 

It involves understanding the decision-making processes consumers go through before making a purchase and the factors that influence those decisions. 

These factors include personal preferences, cultural influences, social pressures, emotional triggers, and economic conditions. 

Why I’m telling you about consumer behaviour is because you are a consumer and your behaviour as a consumer is very close to your behaviour as a job seeker and a citizen of the Internet.

By studying consumer behaviour, marketers and businesses can more effectively tailor their strategies to meet the needs of their target audience, improve customer satisfaction, and increase sales.

Talent behavior is what we must be regularly concerned about

In the same way, by studying talent behaviour, talent marketers (HR marketers)  can tailor their talent marketing strategies more effectively to meet the needs of their talent target audience, improve candidate and employee satisfaction, and increase employee engagement, loyalty and trust within their talent audiences.

That is why we emphasise the importance of understanding talent behavior and your specific talent market behaviour, and also a regular analysis of your talent marketing data. 

Since I was first introduced to the science and psychology of human behaviour in high school, I have been intensely fascinated and influenced by it. 

I excelled in psychology and planned a career in it, but it was suggested by someone I dated at the time that it may not necessarily be the career of my dreams, so I changed my mind. 

But I never stopped being interested in human psychology specifically, and have studied and read about it a lot during my career in HR. It has been hugely beneficial especially in talent acquisition, but also in the phase of my career when I was intensely involved in the development or company cultures. 

Later, I understood how valuable my knowledge of human behaviour has been in building my career as an employer branding expert. Recruiters, especially those of you, who work with work personality inventories will benefit greatly from your understanding of talent behaviour when it comes to marketing.

This is also why the application of behavioural science in marketing is one of the cornerstone theories of the Magnetic Employer Branding Method.

If this is an area that interests you, google behavioral marketing. You’ll find lots of interesting stuff on it.

Behavioral science is so compelling and helps you understand how to get your talent audiences to want what you want from them.

The Conversion Phase: Beyond Just Job Applications

Let’s look at the Candidate Journey of the Information Era™️ and the conversion phase.

In marketing, we use the term “conversion” to explain the desired action taken by a potential customer in response to a call-to-action. Call to action refers to us asking a potential customer to do something, such as “book a call”, “buy now”, “order here”.

It is the same in talent marketing. Now the potential person is a passive or active job seeker, or already existing employee who we wish to do something that benefits our business.

This action that we call to, ask for,  could be anything from signing up for a newsletter, filling out a job application form, engaging with content, starting to follow us on our social media account or signing up for a career event. 

Essentially, it’s the moment when a prospect transitions from being interested in our offer to taking a specific action that moves them further along the marketing funnel.

Consider the marketing funnel the same as the Candidate Journey of the Information Era™️. 

As explained in last week’s episode, the entire candidate journey from winning sustainable attention to awareness and affinity is emphasised by us giving lots of value to the target audience. Value means that our content and messages are interesting enough for them to want to see them repeatedly. 

The value offered could be information, educational in nature, or inspirational or entertaining in nature. But what is common is that we give and they receive. This costs your employer tons of money in the resources used for it to be beneficial enough.

Conversions are when your organisation can expect to get returns for all the hard work you have put into employer branding. Returns can be of many kinds, depending totally on your business needs. But what is mutual is that they are worth money for your business. And you can measure the value returned if you want to and need to. And you do want to because that is the language of your top management.

Conversions are the phase when your organisation can expect to get returns for all the hard work you have put into employer branding. 

Returns can be of many kinds, depending totally on your business needs. But what is mutual is that they are worth money for your business. And you can measure the value returned if you want to and need to. And you do want to because that is the language of your top management.

That is why you, as the employer brand manager or the person responsible for employer branding, must understand conversions, be very interested in maximising conversion value, and drive conversions with your marketing and communication actions.

Data analysis then helps you to assess the effectiveness of your employer brand marketing at every step of this Candidate’s Journey.

Conversions: The most misunderstood aspect of employer branding

Conversions are the most misunderstood aspect of employer branding because many people mistakenly believe that employer branding is the same as a recruitment campaign.

This means that conversions in employer branding are automatically assumed to be received applications. 

This means that conversions in employer branding are automatically assumed to be received applications.. But employer branding is not recruiting.

Susanna Rantanen

I get it. 

In HR, the only conversions we really know are conversions from a job seeker to an applicant, candidate, and hopefully, a new employee.

And that would be the correct conversion flow from recruitment campaigns to the recruitment process.

But employer branding is not recruiting.

That’s why, if you can in any way, I’d like you to extend your understanding of employer branding beyond applications. 

There are numerous other benefits organisations and businesses can gain from employer branding that are worth more than applications for the business.

Susanna Rantanen

Receiving applications is then a positive side effect to employer branding, but your intentions can and should be more ambitious, more connected to actual business value than connected to recruiting. 

When you get here with employer branding, new doors and opportunities will open for you as an employer branding professional because all of a sudden – and I’m going to be blunt about this – you are worth way more for the business than its recruiting success.

Talent acquisition is not the CEO’s problem

While CEOs and the management board obviously can feel the pain of talent acquisition, it is not their problem until it reaches the top management. 

And this can take a long time. 

Unsuccessful talent acquisition is the pain of team leaders and hiring managers because it affects them much faster and causes them pain much quicker. 

Unsuccessful talent acquisition is the pain of team leaders and hiring managers because it affects them much faster and causes them pain much quicker. 

Susanna Rantanen

The larger the organisation, the less the CEO worries about recruitment flaws. They are too far away and have hired many layers of other people to carry that worry on their behalf.

In more temporary talent acquisition challenges, CEOs can replace recruitment partners with seemingly better ones or offer better pay for new employees. 

Talent retention becomes the CEO’s problem much faster than talent acquisition. When knowledge and experience flow out of the business, customers are impacted faster by losing their trusted contact people than the service provider not having enough resources.

Susanna Rantanen

Lack of resources impacts hiring managers first and then their teams that have to carry more weight. 

More weight isn’t going to lead to the resignations of existing employees fast enough for it to become the CEO’s problem until the lack of resources becomes a permanent pain. And that is what we call the war for talent. 

Employer brand conversion goal example: Cost of hiring

War for talents is an on-going feud for talents in markets where the demand surpasses the supply permanently. First, this affects the cost of hiring. 

Over time, this results in employee and customer dissatisfaction, lost sales opportunities, reputation challenges followed by lost customers and employees. 

As an employer branding professional, you become a very important person to the CEO when talent struggles become a key pain point for the CEO. 

As an employer branding professional, you become a very important person to the CEO when talent struggles become a key pain point for the CEO. 

Susanna Rantanen

And I’m going to reveal to you when this happens: The day their bottom line is affected, the board starts to ask questions, and the CEO’s reputation and track record are in jeopardy.

This is when you want to show up like a fairy with your magic wand and provide the CEO with a solution—a magnetic employer brand. This sustainable, long-lasting employer branding solution will save your CEO’s reputation and stop their boat from sinking.

The Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ has been designed to be that solution.

And you need to take ownership of your employer branding as the solution to fixing talent retention and talent acquisition challenges impacting your company’s CEO.

You should own employer branding as a solution instead of an occasional recruitment campaign so that you can open the door to the professional opportunities of your desire and aspiration.

You [the employer brand manager] should own employer branding as a solution instead of an occasional recruitment campaign so that you can open the door to the professional opportunities of your desire and aspiration.

Susanna Rantanen

When you continue to see employer branding as a campaign, your top decision-makers will too. Campaigns are a cost, branding is an investment.

Campaigns are the worry of hiring managers, investments are an opportunity for the top management.

Where do you want to be? The worry-side or the opportunity-side?

It is for no reason that the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ was recognised as the game-changing method in the employer branding domain already in 2020.

It is for no reason that many of our clients have won accolades and been recognised as the most attractive employers in their domains. Here is one recent example >

Or, why people who have worked for me and learned how to build the modern employer brand from me have built successful employer branding careers, even winning the Best Employer Brand Professional of the Year titles in the Magnet Employer Brand Awards, like our Nora just last week! Or our former employee Siiri, who won last year.

With this now ringing in your ears, don’t you think you need to hear how you can set conversion goals for your employer brand that reach beyond applications? 

This will help you increase your employer branding budgets and resources, as you can prove to your boss the real value of employer branding—not to a hiring manager here or there but to the entire business.

Okay, I hear you are, so here it is:

It’s essential to clarify that in employer branding, conversion does not strictly equate to applying for a current job opening. 

While this can be and often is an outcome, focusing on applications only makes you lose the real value of proper employer branding.

Susanna Rantanen

You want to separate recruitment campaigns from employer branding to maximise the impact of both.

Employer branding is an on-going communication process that grows awareness, nurtures engagement and strengthens the target audience’s desire to become or stay part of your organisation.

It is long-term in nature and therefore may or may not immediately result in a flow of job applications.

Employer branding is there to solve different problems than a recruitment campaign.

Your recruitment campaigns have the job of converting your relevant audience members into applicants. And they will when you have a Magnetic Employer Brand.

5 Other Conversion Examples in the Magnetic Employer Brand

In the broader context of employer branding, conversion refers to any action that deepens engagement and brings potential talent closer to your organisation. 

The value of employer branding conversions is that you have actual people who have given you permission to connect and forge a relationship with your organisation. 

Who, with the help of marketing can be more easily reached and convinced to act when you need to hire, who are more likely to spread the message to their peers and connections and who show the kind of interest in your content on social media that algorithm will then show automatically to their networks.

I’ve had multiple employees in my agency over the years who converted into our talent pool a year or even two years before they entered a recruitment process with us and started to work for us. 

Value conversion goals in your employer branding could include objectives such as joining a community or a talent pool, subscribing to an email list, progressing their career in your organisation, converting employees into ambassadors, shortening the time to hire, reducing your overall recruitment costs and so on.

Conversation actions in employer branding are similar to getting someone’s phone number or making plans to meet again, becoming an item, getting engaged, and so on, in a dating scenario—it’s about continuing the conversation and dating casually, which may or may not lead to building the relationship.

1. Building a talent pool

One of the most valuable objectives of the conversion phase is to develop a robust talent pool. 

And with this, I do not mean a CV bank. In fact, this doesn’t include CVs or applications at all, but talent prospects.

This group has expressed interest in your company and opted to stay connected through various channels. 

They might not be ready to apply for a job right now, or you may not want to hire them yet, but you nurture, and keep your relations warm with them, until they have become more experienced and fit your hiring needs better.

What is valuable here is that they are interested in your organisation and its future opportunities.

Cultivating this pool is crucial because it provides a ready group of engaged individuals who might be perfect for future roles, thereby reducing the time and cost associated with recruitment in the future, not necessarily now.

This is also a conversion objective we often use with our clients planning to expand their business to new markets and need to start building awareness as a relevant employer in those new markets way before hiring phase starts and turns supercritical. 

This is a conversion objective we often use with our clients planning to expand their business to new markets and need to start building awareness as a relevant employer in those new markets way before hiring phase starts and turns supercritical. 

Susanna Rantanen

So, we help them build an organic talent audience that converts into a pool of potential prospects they can contact later when they need to start hiring. You cannot do this in recruiting because you don’t have a job to offer them yet. However, our employer branding method fits these scenarios and needs ideally.

2. Invitations to connect on a more personal level (but not like that)

Another significant aspect and example of a conversion objective in employer branding is the opportunity for potential candidates to meet one-on-one with hiring managers or recruiters. 

This is akin to social recruiting online but translates very well into physical settings and meetings.

These meetings are not job interviews but informal chats to explore mutual interests and fit. 

It’s like meeting for coffee with someone you’re interested in to see if there’s potential for a more serious relationship. 

These interactions allow both parties to stay in touch, gauge compatibility outside the pressure of an immediate job opening, align more with long-term career aspirations and the company’s needs, build trust and open the doors for future discussions.

3. Extending the length of employment of existing employees

Those examples were all targeted outside the organisation, but what about conversions in internal employer branding?

Much emphasis is placed on attracting top talent to an organisation, akin to the early stages of dating, where one is focused on making a good impression. 

However, just as in relationships where the initial allure may fade without deeper compatibility and shared growth opportunities, businesses often face the challenge of retaining talent beyond this initial honeymoon period. 

This is particularly true for employers known for attracting graduates who are seen as compelling early-career options but struggle to retain staff as they seek more advanced opportunities.

In these cases, we are known to help our employees set value-conversion goals to focus on the engagement and retention of current employees by communicating core values, career development opportunities, and the overall employee value proposition within the organisation. 

This internal employer branding strategy is essential for extending employment by ensuring employees see a clear, fulfilling career path within the company, trust is built between the staff and the management and camaraderie with other employees.

Susanna Rantanen

I like to compare this in dating to when a romantic relationship struggles to evolve beyond the early dating phase. 

Partners may enjoy each other’s company initially, but over time, one or both might feel stagnated if there are no shared goals or growth opportunities and they are not spending enough time together and together with friends.

Similarly, employees might feel enthusiastic when they first join a company but become disenchanted if they don’t see a future there. 

Obviously, the employer must create growth opportunities, but oftentimes, our clients already have them; they just don’t talk about them enough. 

When no one knows about the growth opportunities, they leave and never see or hear about colleagues who have built their careers in this organisation.

You would be surprised how many times HR and management mistakenly belief they have communicated career opportunities enough. In most cases, they haven’t. You haven’t. And what’s even a bigger failure is to recognize how to communicate career opportunities and to whom to maximize the impact.

It can be a costly exercise for a growth business to find, convince, hire, educate, and groom graduates into specialists only to see them take everything they learned with them to a competitor.

4. Leading existing employees confidently and comfortably through change

This is another example of an internal value conversion objective we have set for some of our clients who apply the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️. This is also one of my favourite value-added conversions because, it turns out, our method is perfect for this!

Organisational changes, such as restructuring, new management, or shifts in strategic direction, are inevitable in any company’s lifecycle. 

Just as in personal relationships, where significant changes such as moving cities, switching careers,  starting a family or getting seriously ill can test the strength and adaptability of the partnership, organisational changes challenge the resilience and commitment of employees. 

Just as in personal relationships, where significant changes such as moving cities, switching careers,  starting a family or getting seriously ill can test the strength and adaptability of the partnership, organisational changes challenge the resilience and commitment of employees. 

Susanna Rantanen

Effective internal employer branding during these transitions is crucial for leading employees confidently and comfortably through change, ensuring that the transition is as smooth and positive as possible.

Using the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ goes beyond internal change communication, which is often one-way and focused on informing about the change and the business’s role in it.

In employer brand communication, the focus is on the people; your employees, and by the way, this is a really great example of how we have helped some of our clients also change existing employer brand perceptions externally.

In the internal setting, this extends from mere information-sending one-way communication to inviting employees through communicational, conversational and content elements on this change journey with the organisation. This is where business storytelling is the most powerful strategy.

In the internal setting, this extends from mere information-sending one-way communication to inviting employees through communicational, conversational and content elements on this change journey with the organisation. This is where business storytelling is the most powerful strategy.

Susanna Rantanen

This is about helping them [your employees] to become aware of the transformative journey, what lies ahead, how it impacts them, what changes will be seen in the culture and ways of work and why, and so on.

This can be a super powerful way to build employer brand inside out, connect and engage employees with the change journey and help employees feel safer and more secure amidst the change.

5. Converting existing employees to brand ambassadors, opinion leaders and boosting social recruiting among hiring managers

An example of a more simple employer branding goal for the conversion stage is converting existing employees to brand ambassadors and opinion leaders and boosting social recruiting among hiring managers.

Again, these go beyond getting job applications.

A goal like this adds a whole different kind of value for the entire business and those people taking part as ambassadors, opinion leaders, and social recruiting advocates.

It matches today’s requirements, where individuals are seen as more influential spokespeople for a business and workplace than the company itself.

Distinguishing Employer Branding from Recruitment Campaigns

It’s vital to differentiate these employer branding conversions from the objectives of specific recruitment campaigns. 

While recruitment is often transactional and focused on filling vacancies quickly, employer branding is strategic and relational, aimed at building long-term relationships. 

When organisations use employer branding resources solely for immediate recruitment needs, they diminish the return on their investment by limiting the scope of their efforts and potentially neglect other teams and departments that could benefit from a more expansive approach through the examples I just mentioned.

The value of long-term employer branding

Employer branding offers immense value beyond just filling current openings when executed as a long-term strategy. 

It builds a community of advocates, enhances the company’s reputation, and creates a talent pipeline that can be tapped. 

Our modern approach to employer branding ensures that even if specific recruitment campaigns end, the connection with potential candidates does not. 

Instead, it continues growing, providing ongoing value to the organisation and its stakeholders.

By understanding these nuances, organisations can more effectively leverage their employer branding efforts to meet immediate hiring needs and foster an environment where the best talent is continually attracted, engaged, and ready to contribute to the company’s success over time. 

This strategic approach ensures that employer branding remains a powerful tool in the competitive talent acquisition landscape.

Are you ready to enter the bonus phase?

Beyond Conversion: Nurturing Long-term Relationships with Employees and Target Talents

Successful relationships and employer branding strategies don’t end with making the commitment. 

When compared to dating and building committed relationships, that is when life together starts.

Once you have committed to a new employee, it is vital to evolve this commitment.

You want to move from employer brand marketing into the internal culture, leadership behaviour and internal talent communication that nurtures these connections to ensure longevity and mutual satisfaction. 

For employer branding, this means focusing on employee retention strategies, continuous engagement, and creating opportunities for growth and development. 

In other words, keeping your organisation competitive as an employer.

It involves listening to the talent market and your employees’ needs and adapting the workplace culture to keep your people motivated and committed. 

Like any long-term relationship, maintaining a happy, productive workforce requires ongoing effort, communication, and adaptation. I like to call this keeping the product behind the employer brand competitive.

Someone else but you may be responsible for this ‘product development of the employee experience’, but it’s vital for you to see them as your key stakeholders and understand how magnetic employer branding ties in with internal employer branding, organisational culture, leadership and healthy relationships within the organisation.

Okay. I feel out of breath about going into such depth about this topic.

So, I want to summarise these two episodes and leave you with the following idea to brew in your mind:

By viewing employer branding through the dating lens, you can create more engaging and effective strategies to attract, engage, and retain top talent. 

Each phase of the relationship requires thoughtful interaction and deepening connections that align with both parties’ values and needs, ensuring a mutually beneficial and lasting relationship. 

This approach is central to the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️, ensuring that candidates not only come to love your company but stay in love with it, too, and when the time is right, commit to a serious relationship called employment with your organisation.

Phew! I hope you enjoyed these two episodes as much as I loved making them for you!

That – is – all – for – this – week, my dear audience!
