Let’s Boost Your Applications!

Employer Branding Agency in Munich

If you want to attract talent today, buzzwords and benefits aren’t enough. With our BURN Position® method, we reveal what your company truly stands for – authentic, relevant, and tangible from the very first interaction.

Fruit baskets and football tables? Nice – but no longer enough. Top talent doesn’t go for the first offer. They’re looking for meaning, values, and the right gut feeling. Only companies that make their employer brand genuinely tangible – inside and out – become true talent magnets.

With the BURN Position® method, we make exactly that visible:
an employer brand that stands for something, wins hearts – and delivers on its promise.

We develop an employer profile that’s more than just nice words.
Using our BURN Position® method, we uncover what truly defines your organization – and bring it to the point: honest, relevant, and unmistakable. Whether it’s for your career page, internal communications, or your next recruiting event – we make sure your employer brand comes from within and convinces on the outside.

Employer Branding – Your Most Important Questions Answered

What exactly is Employer Branding?

Employer branding refers to building and maintaining a strong employer brand. It’s about clearly communicating what your company stands for as an employer, what makes it unique, and why talent should choose to work there. This includes not only external communication but also the internal experience—culture, values, and daily collaboration.

What’s the difference between Employer Branding and recruiting campaigns?

Employer branding provides the strategic foundation for all recruiting activities. It defines your employer brand profile—your values, stance, and positioning with long-term impact.

Recruiting campaigns, on the other hand, are time-bound efforts to fill open positions. Without a strong employer brand, any campaign remains interchangeable. With a clear employer identity, it becomes a true magnet for the right talent.

How does an Employer Branding project work using the BURN Position® Method?

An employer branding project with the BURN Position® Method follows a structured four-phase process:

Grow: Continuous Support
Employer branding is never one-and-done. We support ongoing integration into culture and leadership, and continuously evolve your employer brand—ensuring long-term relevance and effectiveness.

Strategy: Analysis & Employer Positioning (incl. workshop)
We start by analyzing your current employer perception—internally and externally. In a collaborative workshop, we develop your unique employer profile using the BURN Position® Method: values, culture, and a clear promise that defines why it’s worth working for you. This phase sets the strategic foundation.

Attract: Employer Brand Design & Messaging
Based on the strategy, we shape your employer brand’s visual and verbal identity. From career pages to internal comms and social media—we define tone, visuals, and messaging to make the brand tangible and memorable.

Activate: Implementation & Rollout
We launch your new employer brand across all relevant channels—career pages, job ads, social touchpoints, and internal platforms. We ensure the brand is experienced at every stage of the candidate and employee journey.

How long does it take to develop a strong employer brand?

Creating a compelling employer brand isn’t an overnight task. Depending on your starting point and goals, the process typically takes 8–12 weeks—from research and strategy to messaging and visual development.

What matters most: a strong brand needs time to gain traction and create real impact—not just a good look.

When is the right time to invest in Employer Branding?

Whenever growth, talent shortages, or competitive pressure are on the rise. And definitely when applications are missing, good people are leaving, or your employer identity lacks clarity.

In short: before it really hurts—not after.

Is Employer Branding only relevant for large companies?

Absolutely not. Small and medium-sized businesses benefit greatly from working with an employer branding agency.

It’s not about company size—it’s about competitiveness. Especially growing and mid-sized firms can attract the right talent more authentically and effectively than large corporations—if their employer brand is sharp and clear.

What does Employer Branding actually achieve for recruiting and retention?

Employer branding makes your company’s values and culture visible—so the right people are drawn to it. This shortens time-to-hire, improves the candidate experience, and increases the quality of applications. Internally, it boosts team pride, identification, and loyalty.

In short: if you know who you are, it’s easier to find and keep the right people. A good Employer Branding Agency supports exactly that.

Do you also support implementation—like career pages, campaigns, or communication?

Yes – that’s our strength. We don’t stop at strategy. We bring your employer brand to life across all channels. From career websites to recruiting campaigns and internal storytelling – we make your employer identity visible, tangible, and consistent.

Always with one goal in mind: an employer brand that works – inside and out.

Inspire change.
