There are dozens of good theories on employer branding today. As in any other business process, even the best employer brand practices won’t work for our business well if we don’t start from the very beginning, from the audit.
The employer brand audit is the diagnosis of the current state of all the actions, processes and tools, related to it. It’s an assessment, which enables us to identify, which of the key elements are working for our brand and which are still missing, in the context of employee and candidate needs and expectations.
Employer Brand Data Sources

You check not only how the communication was conducted, but also what effects if brought. On this stage it is worth to use the external tools and applications which can support the analysis.
Qualitative and Quantitative research – it consists most often of surveys and individual interviews, conducted with the target group members of your employer brand offer – candidates and employees.
