It’s very true that employee satisfaction is the most crucial part of employment branding. When all is said and done, at the end of the day, a company’s employees are what reflect the image of a brand. Being familiar with and favorable toward a company’s surface or online image is one thing, but knowing a company’s employees are happy and satisfied with their workplace and the work they produce is a huge hook for job-seeking candidates.

You had some excellent blog articles, especially around video resumes and recruiting for Gen Y that stirred up some good conversation. We appreciated all your hard work here, and hope you have a great upcoming semester. Keep blogging!

]]> Comment on The Talent Network and Employer Brand of USA Basketball by brablc http://interns.smashfly.com/2010/08/27/the-talent-network-and-employer-brand-of-usa-basketball/#comment-50 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:38:10 +0000 http://interns.smashfly.com/?p=168#comment-50 One of the biggest questions with this year’s team is how they are going to attract the big name starts (Wade, Lebron, Carmelo, etc.) to join the team. While they have been able to draw a good amount of good talent, they’ve been unable to recruit the best talent.

What do you think they could offer to these players to get them to join the team?

]]> Comment on Lights, Camera, Resume! by David DeCapua http://interns.smashfly.com/2010/07/26/lights-camera-resume/#comment-24 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:41:14 +0000 http://interns.smashfly.com/?p=87#comment-24 Your comments are spot on! There isn’t a hiring manager on the planet, who wouldn’t want to “see and hear” a candidate, before committing to a time consuming interview. My family has been in the search, recruiting and staffing business since 1966. Needless to say, we’ve seen hiring practices emerge and become more sophisticated. There are a million video resume sites out there and we couldn’t find one that was doing it “right” – standardized and professional, which is why I created TalentRooster.com. This technology has increased a candidates chance for hire by 30% or more, but the key is PROFESSIONAL. Lots of technology people (that know nothing about the hiring process) entering the video resume space – it’s too bad as these services are not standardized or provide anything more than a video. A candidate can do that on their own! Check out TalentRooster.com – I’d love to hear what you think. Check out our latest blog http://talentrooster.blogspot.com/2010/08/almost-1400-video-resumes-already.html

I think there are some good points here but one important one you didn’t touch upon. One of the best things you can do from a candidate engagement is to get your employees involved in the process. If your company is truly a great place to work, get your employees talking about it and have them be your key employer brand ambassadors. You can do this through videos as you mentioned before as well through testimonials and just plain referrals.
