How important is employer branding in attracting candidates, and what are some effective ways to strengthen it?

Employer branding matters a lot because candidates decide long before they apply. Clear role stories, honest employee voices, and a consistent hiring experience do more than polished career pages.

Depends, applying for Walmarts Software Engineering division is a bit different from a San Francisco AI startup. One is big brand bad tech another no brand but doing something innovation. I'd go with the startup 24/7, Walmart if my kids are starving.

It’s huge. In this market, most of the top candidates are choosing you as much as you’re choosing them — and your employer brand is doing a lot of the early legwork before they ever apply. Things like how your team talks online, what employees say on Glassdoor, and how your company shows up on LinkedIn all matter. Internal storytelling can go a long way here — not just polished posts, but real, human ones.

Hi fishes, what's the fixed range for B30 Engineer 2?

Currently a first year staff in Risk Advisory in a Mid-Tier Firm hoping to move to Big 4 for either Risk or Cyber. When would be the most appropriate time to make the change? I heard that Senior Staff in mid-tier would most likely be hired as an “Experienced Hire” in Big 4. So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?

We’re approaching annual review season and it’s very important you put your 2022 goals into the system. Most of you don’t have any goals listed (10.5 months into the year) and they goals mean f*ck all in the evaluation process, but I need you to get your goals documented TODAY.

I want to know why recruiters ask me in an interview if I am looking at other opportunities, or if I am interviewing at other companies. If I say yes they will ask at what stage I am.
