With historically low unemployment rates, the competition for talent is fierce. Employers need a strong employer brand with the power to capture the attention and interest of job candidates. This means appealing to candidates’ unique values and needs. Andy Curlewis, Cielo’s Senior Vice President of Brand, Digital & Communications, recently spoke to Employee Benefits, a UK-based provider of industry news, about developing employer brands for the modern workforce and the role of competition in branding.
