In this new world of recruitment, not all the rules are the same and research must be thoroughly ve=ed and compared against local customs, cultures and educa'onal systems.

14% of CEOs said building a global employer brand was a concern today, while that number is slated to double by 2020, a mere 4 years from now.

The Employer Branding Core
![Page 9: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
An EVP, or Employer Value Proposi'on, is the founda'on of a strong employer brand.
![Page 10: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
61% of hiring execu'ves surveyed said they had developed an Employee Value Proposi'on to establish their employer branding ac'vi'es.
![Page 11: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
With an EVP, you will want to focus on three dis'nct groups.
![Page 12: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Former employees can be a candid source of informa'on. Incorporate brand related ques'ons into your exit interview process where applicable.
![Page 13: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Current Employees: Key ques'ons when crea'ng an EVP: Learning ini'a'ves, Cultural norms (unwri=en rules), Communica'on prac'ces, Free-‐thinking, Rewards, Recogni'on, Management, Recruitment process
![Page 14: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Prospec've Employees: Gather intelligence from sources like Glassdoor, Yelp and social media sites. Informa'onal interviews can work to your advantage during career fairs and in conjunc'on with internship programs. Tip: Few are as honest as the entry-‐level job seeker!
![Page 15: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A complete EVP will be a simple overarching statement that captures the crux of your employees’ experiences and employer brand commitment. It will be unique, compelling and truthful.
![Page 16: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Geing to Yes Across Cultures-‐ This is a series of videos and ar'cles from Harvard Business Review that gives insight into specific cultural insights that can help during key nego'a'ons (like sales and recrui'ng).
![Page 26: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tip -‐ You can be fluent in a language and s'll miss subtle'es in your EVP or Employer Brand. If you disagree with a candidate in Germany, the interview could turn into a friendly debate. Do the same in Mexico and it could be the end of that candidate’s interest!

Iden'fy Your Key Drivers
![Page 30: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Because you’re geing the chance to take your employer brand beyond borders, you get to break one of the key rules of employer branding.
![Page 31: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Rule #1 “Don’t try to be all things to all people…” This is the polar opposite of what a great EVP and employer brand are supposed to do. So why do we get to break this rule?
![Page 32: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Okay, perhaps we don’t get to break it. But, we DO get to bend it based on targeted recruitment loca'ons.
![Page 33: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Your research + Your EVP and Employer Brand = Your localized campaigns
![Page 34: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The only person qualified to lead those campaigns is your localized brand manager, transla'ng your global brand (both culturally and linguis'cally) into something that will resonate with the local audience.
![Page 35: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Recruitment Channels -‐ We’re not changing the overarching employer brand, so much as changing HOW we communicate it for the local market. Successful channels and campaigns can change from loca'on to loca'on. Global Job Boards, Social Media Networks (Facebook, Viadeo, Xing), Print Media or Tradi'onal Media, Recruitment Agencies, Job Exchanges
![Page 36: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Common Differen'ators -‐ Those who want to brand beyond borders should also focus on which of their differen'ators will set them apart from compe''on in the country from which they are trying to recruit and hire. Some common differen'ators that have different effects on job seekers around the globe: Compe''ve or outstanding compensa'on, Benefits and Stability, Work-‐Life Balance, Innova've Career Track, Happiness and Engagement, Pres'ge and Brand, Friendly Work Environment
![Page 37: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

A social media campaign about your friendly work environment may work incredibly well in Mexico but fail in the Netherlands.

Distribu'on of Your Brand -‐To note: There are also cost differences to adver'sing within different locales to be acutely aware of. Na'onal media in the United States can skew quite expensive due to the size of the country, while digital media seems much less expensive. In other countries, VAT and accessibility to media are vastly different than the United States.

It’s 'me to take distribu'on to a whole new level.

Mobile recrui'ng is “baked-‐in” to their campaigns from the get-‐go, which means it needs to be built in to your employer branding ini'a'ves to be authen'c and resonate with local popula'ons.
![Page 45: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Did you know? Research by Employer Brand Interna'onal found social media (58%) to be the No. 1 channel for communica'ng the employer brand while only 21% are using a mobile-‐op'mized career website to communicate their employer brand.
![Page 46: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Bo=om Line -‐ If your campaigns can’t be viewed on a smartphone and your jobs can only be applied to from a desktop, you are severely limi'ng your op'ons in a new loca'on and you could inadvertently be ruling out younger candidates from Genera'ons Y and Z.
![Page 47: Branding Beyond Borders: A Quick Guide for International Employer Branding](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58850e3f1a28abd05e8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Building an employer brand that transcends borders requires a dis'nc've process. Employer branding best prac'ces for domes'c recruitment provide the founda'on, but it’s the cultural research, establishment of EVPs and effec've messaging tailored to a specific interna'onal audience that brings home successful global employer branding campaigns.
