From the Inside Flap
The marketplace for talent becomes more intense with each year,
no matter how turbulent the economy may be. Using every social
media tool available at their fingertips, workers bring high
expectations—and well-honed skills as retail consumers—to search
for work experiences that offer connection and fulfillment beyond
traditional definitions of task, opportunity, and security.
This change makes a brand an essential part of any business
strategy to secure talent. But a traditional employer brand is no
longer enough. In this book, brand experts Mark Schumann and Libby
Sartain introduce a new business marketing tool—the talent
brand—with examples from a number of the world''s leading brands.
While the employer brand must resonate with people on the inside of
a business, the talent brand must attract segments of workers to
join, stay, and engage.
Brand for Talent shows how creating a talent brand can help any
business thrive in the new talent marketplace—and with the new
consumer of work—to get the right people in the right work at the
right time.
