Employer Branding for SMBs

Small businesses are in a war for talent. Engage a higher level of talent and ensure they to want to join your company with an attractive, sustainable employer brand.

Small businesses of all sizes and spanning all industries and sectors are all in a war for talent. For small businesses, having the right team members can be the difference between rapid growth and stagnation.

Attracting the best talent results in outsized performance and business growth, which makes establishing an engaging small business employer brand a crucial cog in the successful management of a small business’ human resources (HR), marketing, and operations strategy.

Most small businesses are resource constraint – which means that when recruiting costs are too high, cost per hire is skyrocketing, time to hire is increasing, or retention is falling, a comprehensive dive into your small business’ employer brand can illuminate areas of opportunity for imminent improvement as well as strategic long-term opportunities to establish your organization as the best place to work in your sector.

Employer Branding for Small Business Overview

Each small business is unique and has it’s own ambitions and growth goals. Because of this diversity, small businesses present numerous opportunities for great talent to find their niche and add value to their employers. After all, many talented employees can excel and climb the career ladder at a fast pace while at a small business, and have access to opportunities they might not have at a larger organization.

It’s no secret, too, that small business is crucial to the economic performance of the entire country. This is why establishing an attractive employer brand for small businesses is not a one-size-fits-all exercise. The tactics and strategies to optimize your small business employer brand and recruitment marketing efforts are tied to your organization’s unique employer value proposition (EVP) and strategic goals.
