Story of family walked into a restaurant and nobody even noticed them
Candidates are spending up to 2 hours research your as a potential employer
Think about the content marketing journey – attribution model
What are they looking for? What questions are on their mind? What objections may they have?
What information are you providing? What and how are you providing it? where? When they want it?
Candidates want to get to know you before the apply – how do you help them??
Content will help you tell your story…
Its help you create ‘feelings’ and thoughts towards your brands and its people
How much are people worth to you
Average value of a customer
Average value of a corporate sale / client
How many people go through your process?
How many hires?
How many rejections?
How many opportunists to piss people off?
Ask the audience and play out with delegates…
Put the figure in your minds – and remember it.
Stories can help you build you brand and people proposition
Its backed up further as MRI scans show that when we evaluate brands, we primary use emotions and how we ‘feel’ rather than logic and facts and figures
It not what you think or say it is… it is what they say it is…
You can’t control your brand, you can only influence it…
Its what people say about you, when you have left the room…
Your employer brand doesn’t stop with pass or fail. It isn’t just about recruitment.
Its retention, experience and communication from them moment they touch your brand – for their life time.
Tell your brand stories through the people, those that reflect those that you want to connect with Let your people tell stories of how it feels to work with you
Makes sure that your telling the stories that resonate to what matters to you audience
Helping you to get on their wave length and becoming a contagious and magnetic brand
By understanding the personas and people we want to connect
join and influence the conversation going on in your audiences hearts and minds
Identify the emotional drivers you candidates feel and experience; and put them into your stories,
helping you connect through the power of personality
humanise and bring emotion into you marketing and your people propositions....
Share genuine, real stories - bring authenticity into your brand be genuine, be sincere, be authentic….
People love what you do and how you make them feel; you benefit from the greatest marketing channel of them all ...
Word of mouth…
People may forget what you said or did… But the won’t forget how you made them feel….
Explain concept and nuroscience study behind it
Separate areas of the brain lighting up….
Why do you think it was….??
Coke works really harder through various content and different channels
The coke Christmas lorry
The Diet coke break…
You don’t ask for a Pepsi and coke – its JD and Coke!
Creating moments of positive experiences and forging memories in our minds…
Creating subconscious feelings towards how we feel and then think towards its brand (95% of our brains, decisions are done before we even thoughts about it!)
The MRI scans proves that feelings made the people in the second test choose coke – not taste first
Design for Happiness… http://www.uxbooth.com/articles/science-happy-design/
Design for Happiness… happy but not by accident…
good design and experience comes from principles of understanding the psychology of people…
what they feel and think through the process during each moment and the moment between the moments
The best digital experiences create happiness
Happiness correlates in the likelihood to return and recommend
Happiness creates positive sentiment and likely hood to share
Greater happiness, greater engagement, greater results
Happiness = ROI

It shouldn’t feel like a factory production line

Arrogant Hiring manager
People turning up and told we’re not hiring because the manager was too busy to interview so just made up some lies to get rid of them
· A manager spending 5 minutes in the interview, then telling the candidate they weren’t suitable and he had to go to a meeting so the interview is over
· A manager in interview telling the candidate they won’t have time for induction or training as they have to hit the ground on day 1, and if they’re not happy with that they should leave now
· ‘Regional manager from Top 6 supermarket chain -”I’m only here to compare you to someone I’ve already got in mind!?
FISH Philosophy – maybe use this image
Be in the moment
Make their day
Choose you attitude
Have the right mindest
Be there
Pay attention
Mindset matter
Your attitude in the moment before, during and after – you and your team (and the team who the candidate will be working with)
A brilliant way of engaging you audience with content is thought the power of
Telling a good (authentic) Story
Tell stories to engage your audience that resonate with them
Seth Godin - marketeers don’t need to create more stuff, we need to create better stories
If history lessons where taught in stories format – we’d remember them!
Who have been some of the greatest story tellers over the years….
BIG WARNING…..
Symptom of synthetic marketing / fabricated culture.

WestJet master stroke
They cared about their audience, they did a lovely thing for some passengers.
They made a promise to do a good deed based on the number of shares.
Who came up with the idea?
The customer service department?
The HR department?
THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT
STUNT – not the feel good department
They made damn sure they caught every second of the experience on camera and even filmed the ‘making of it’ too.
I’m not being cynical, I’m demonstrating the corporate value of understanding how to manipulate human emotion.
I’m highlighting the value of building this into a plan, a process and an outcome that adds value to a business – otherwise what’s the point.

We need to focus on the emotional drivers that create ‘emotionally charged events’ in our brains
MRI scans show that with emotion we literally lighting up our brains
Think about it – when we share funny images, videos – it not the image we are sharing – its how it makes us feel (refer to shipped pants)
Build these emotions into your marketing and communications to candidates, you content, videos,
Sharing is how we pass on our ‘personality’
Create emotionally charge connections
People will care and share you content, amplify your brand and turn candidates into fans
What are your companies legends?
The greatest stories you want to tell?
The people stories that resonate with the feelings and thoughts of those you want ot connect with.
Your employees will have stories they tell about ‘why’ it is they work with you – set them free – become a brand that love to tell stories
People are x10 more likely to connect with people in the brand than the brand itself – what's you plan to leverage this?
The same for you suppliers – how do the agencies you engage – how much to they take time out to ‘get you’ so they can tell stories to help engage the talent and connect them with you?
Tell story of BAE persona workshop – magic happened
What are the people tales that must be told from your business
Vodafone work been doing recently on how to ‘Pitch the brand’ in the recruitment process – they gave me a load of numbers!

Breed , cultivate stories… but these are….Real-life stories
Marketing starts with HR…… Hows to say marketing should sit within HR
Need have a process to find and cultivate these real life stories, demonstrating….
Stories should just end – the end is a catalyst for the next story
The great things about a story is that they live on, and keep getting told
Create anticipation. Keep your EVP alive showing candidates the experiences that resonate with them
Don’t get to caught up in your brand history and heritage (by all means honor it), but look to now and the future as well – people will want to be part of shaping the next chapters in your stories, which is a new chapter for them
Stories will be the foundations for trust and loyalty with people. encourage your audience to tell stories for and about you
Love this quote….
So you’ve got your brand, you think about your candidate experience…
We’ve looked at our mission for content, we’ve forging a strategic and looked at tactics and ideas on who to create a content strategy to connect with talent…
But… more than anything Content is a commitment, it’s a culture…
You need to build a team, that live and breath it – (mentioned Declan and RBS – he’s build his own marketing team – that’s exactly what I would do)
And I truly believe you need people with passion for connecting with talent see content as a supporting voice that will help you build relationship and create conversations….
