Your Employer Brand Bleeds Talent—And You Don't Even Know It

According to Lighthouse Research & Advisory, 83% of candidates distrust employer brand authenticity—a crisis that costs organizations their best talent before interviews even begin. Talent acquisition leaders confront a stark reality: while 72% of professionals refuse to apply to companies with negative reputations (even when unemployed), most organizations treat employer branding as an afterthought rather than a strategic imperative. Companies that fail to build magnetic employer brands will find themselves locked out of increasingly competitive talent markets, watching top candidates flow toward competitors who've mastered authentic storytelling and cultural alignment.

How can organizations rebuild candidate trust and transform their employer brands into talent magnets? In this episode of the Time to Hire podcast from the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association, host Lamees Abourahma interviews Elaine Nicol, Senior Director of RPO Customer Experience at Agile One, to explore how talent leaders can assess and strengthen their employer brands using a comprehensive eight-dimension framework. Nicol shares actionable strategies for minimizing unconscious bias, leveraging employee advocacy, and progressing through the employer branding maturity model to create authentic brands that attract and retain exceptional talent.
This episode features Elaine Nicol's presentation from an RPOA webinar on employer branding. Throughout the conversation, Elaine references her slides and framework materials.
