In addition to organisational issues, such as costs, venue, schedule, booth, and so on, you should consider the following questions we aim to answer during our workshop: 

👉Why is your company's presence in events so essential to strengthen your brand?
👉What kind of results are events bringing in terms of conversion?

The autumn is right around the corner so now’s a great time to take a moment to measure and correct, if needed, the course of your Employer Branding communication activities.

 

🙌 This is why this EBDialogue session will focus on the many ways in which you can audit your employer brand in order to get the desired results out of your communication efforts.

 

👉 Join us Thursday, June 15th at 17:00, in a conversation about the many layers you can touch during an audit, each bringing its own value and a different perspective on your understanding of your employer brand strategy.

 

🙌 Dragos and Mada will showcase the theory and our guest will share from her hands-on experience on the matter. We’d be glad if you could join the discussion and contribute to our community, so we hope to see you on Thursday on Zoom!

Did we see you last week at EBcon? We surely hope so!

 

After giving you a sneak peek into the most recent data on candidate behaviour, we prepared a deeper dive into the subject!

 

🔎 Did you know that 71% of candidates said that an attractive salary is an important criteria for them when choosing between offer? But only 45% of them ranked it as their #1 most important criteria.

 

Puzzling, right?

 

👉 Join us Thursday, May 18th at 17:00 and learn what other criteria is important to candidates. We will also make sure to include all the behaviour data we have available: reasons to stay or leave employers, openness for professional reconversion, channels to look for jobs and much more.

 

Join us at our next EBdialogue, on May 18th, to catch up with the latest candidate behaviour insights! 🙌

Are you looking to complement your recruitment & employer branding strategies with a strong digital marketing campaign?

 

In the next edition of EBDialogue we will discuss about the latest changes in the digital marketing landscape starting with LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Google and continuing with Reddit, Twitter and TikTok.

 

2021 and 2022 brought some major changes with new features and changes in the targeting options and many more.

In this workshop we will answer the following questions:

How you can optimize the use of each major channel LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Reddit, Twitter and TikTok?
What’s new? What kind of new types of campaigns can you access on LinkedIn and  Google?
What is the audience you can reach with each of them? Eg. You can reach 3,500,000+ professionals on LinkedIn, but how many of them work in IT or speak German? This will also help you size up the budget of your campaigns.
How to optimize awareness, consideration, and recruitment campaigns – starting with the channels you choose and ending with the bidding method?
Using a multitude of channels makes frequent reporting close to impossible. We will explore how Google Data Studio can act as a dashboard for your digital campaigns.

Who should attend?
