We understand the art of transforming your organization's values and culture into powerful messages that resonate and inspire applications or referrals. Our approach combines a clear strategic direction for your brand and internal connection.

Our perspective on employer branding
Employer branding as a growth process
We understand employer branding in combination with organizational development.
Our approach goes beyond a pure marketing strategy and also touches on other aspects of your organization. Employer branding can thus become the starting point of a transformation process. The insights we gain also serve as a valuable basis for important business decisions and can influence the development direction of your organization.
Mix of methods
Mix of quantitative and qualitative methods and use of AI
Our employer branding approach is characterized by a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data collection in order to gain a deep understanding of the corporate culture. We integrate attitudes and methods from systemic coaching to gain authentic and meaningful insights.
We can also review and measure the effectiveness of our measures by working with leadership feedback or employee surveys. We use AI technologies to analyze data more objectively and reduce our own bias.

These were taken on random days during the Covid19 pandemic and are to be understood as snapshots. We see snapshots that each show a subjective view, capturing his moods and thoughts.
