EVP
THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCE
• An EVP is the promise that we
make to our people and what
we look for in return.
• It describes both the functional
components of our career
offering but also how we want
our people to feel.
• Our employer brand is then the
sum of all the experiences
people have with us.
• And most crucially of all, what
differentiates us from the rest.

HOW DO CAREERS SITES FIT INTO THIS?
What?
The shop window to your careers. Your core
asset in describing the opportunities and
your key conversion point for your recruiting
activities – externally and internally.
Why
Users expect a consumer grade experience,
want to be wowed and they don’t have time
to waste We need to create differentiated,
simple experiences for candidates, so they
feel we made it just for them.
What is the pay off?
Greater conversion rates of the right talent
from this key domain of your attraction and
sourcing strategies.

communities.

KEY INSIGHTS
• Listen to your audience – Many sites lack rich,
engaging content on topics candidates want to
learn about.
• Personalize the experience – Create detailed
and segmented user journeys and serve content
and jobs that speak directly to the individual.
• Be part of the conversation – Build trust and
positive reputation by engaging on social, review
sites and in Talent Communities.
