Employer branding is the strategy that companies use to attract top talents and to establish relationships between existing employees and the company. It is closely related to the reputation the company has as an employer.
Just like consumers rather choose a bag with a famous brand, employees prefer to work for reputable companies. It is so important to build a strong employer brand.
