The Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ was developed already in 2017 for fast-growing and fast-scaling businesses. After launching it, I soon discovered this systematic approach works well also for the more established as well as the entrepreneur-led companies.
My agency Employer Branding Agency Emine is, what you would call a boutique agency. We service a niche of modern growth companies with our proprietary method here in Finland.
Over the course of this Covid-ridden year, we started to build our online coaching business to expand our method outside the small Finnish market. Since the beginning of 2020, I have been using this method to build a brand for myself in the international employer branding landscape. Already after 6 months almost to the date, I started to get visible traction for my efforts.
But that’s not all. The entire method was based on my personal branding experiences years ago. As soon as we had this systematic approach, we started to test it for branding our agency back in 2017.
And ever since, we have been applying the method to both business brand and employer brand our agency in Finland. As a result, we were recently recognized as one of the Top 10 Employer Branding Agencies in Europe, in 2020.
This goes to say how a systematic approach and a strategic framework focusing on human-to-human marketing and communication can benefit a business in more than one way.

What is the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️?
This modern employer branding method is a strategic framework and a systematic marketing & communication method. I developed it originally for the modern growth companies in mind.
So many of our customers in the technology sector struggled in the war for the talent, and started to take crazy and costly actions. One of our clients inspired me to go to a drawing board after the CEO told me they lost about 1 million euro as a result of a bit of a crazy action.

What type of business benefits from this method?
The benefit of the Magnetic Employer Branding Method™️ is that it gives the talent marketing team a systematic approach for on-going talent marketing. Initially, I had these fast-growing and fast-scaling customer companies in mind, because this method focuses on business storytelling to match talent minds with the company mission.

When a business grows super fast, the entire narrative changes. Rapid growth has a dramatic impact on the culture, the interactions and ways of work at a work place. The employee experiences change continuously. What the company was as a place of work when it started up no longer exists when it hits the first 100 to 500 employees’ mark. This method works really well in business storytelling to match your talent minds with your evolving mission and strategy.
If the talent acquisition loses sight into what the business is and how it transforms on almost a daily basis they will easily end up communicating out dated messages and hiring into out dated profiles.

What are the benefits of this modern employer branding method?
The greatest benefit of this method is the systematic and strategic framework it offers for the daily talent marketing needs. it can be applied to all talent marketing needs:
- Recruitment marketing
- Development of the employer awareness (employer image)
- Employer branding (in competitive talent markets)
One of the biggest advantages our customers mention us about this method is that it is so systematic, it helps them to recognize what all they can say no to.
The pain of ad hoc and random acts of marketing
I bet you can also recognize the pain of random acts of marketing and all the ad hoc ideas that are generated around the organization to what all could and should be done in talent marketing.
While it is definitely a benefit there are ideas, those people who are left with implementing all these random ideas are suffering. We keep seeing this and hearing this almost on a daily basis.
Most talent acquisition professionals are not familiar with communication and marketing techniques, tools and strategies. Most communications and marketing counterparts are not familiar with the unique characteristics of talents as an audience.
And then add all the idea rich colleagues, team leads and managers who were inspired by some other companies who did some exciting activities around their recruitment, and your talent acquisition is going nuts.

When you take a step back, and take the strategic decisions necessary to achieve measurable results, you will be in a much better place to plan the actions and how to implement everything.
Planning your talent marketing according to this method, and then sticking to implementing your plans will give you the results you set out for. Random acts of marketing never do. Yet they use your time and budget the same way.
