In this weeks episode of The Talent Revolution, I talk about why having a compelling EVP can make or break your recruiting process. I'll share some insights as to why you want to have an authentic and inspiring EVP that not only attracts candidates but also puts most off. Often times organizations make the biggest possible mistake by trying to make their EVP appeal to everyone; to cast the widest net possible. But when you try to appeal to everyone, you appeal to no one. The message is inoffensive, but it’s also irrelevant. It doesn’t inspire any passion or inspiration.

We spent our time this week discussing why underestimating the power of human connectivity in the hiring process is a huge mistake, and why companies who don't see themselves as selling themselves to today's candidates are, "up sh*t creek without a paddle."

Are you wondering how employee experience in an increasingly remote workforce and in a time that feels very polarizing can make or break your path to success as a business? Want to know how benefits, referrals, alumni, marketing campaigns and organizational communication within your company can shift the dynamic of an employee experience greatly? Listen now to hear how Jam City's, Billie Larson-Shipley, dives in on how to navigate all of these conversations and more.

Think of recruitment as selling the opportunity to work at your company. You should put as much effort into that endeavor as your sales team does into selling your product, and perhaps even more so. Don’t try to beat huge companies that are nothing like yours at their own game, or even emulate it. Think instead about what sets you apart. It won’t be for everyone, and that’s a good thing.
