Talent Branding

Create and foster your employment brand to attract, engage, and retain talent

First, we help you refine your authentic brand voice for talent, by answering questions like "what is your company culture about?" and "what is your company's work style?" We identify the measures of success. Then, we project your brand across these channels:

Glassdoor -- Ratings, reviews, content, scores
LinkedIn -- Cost-effective use of content with free status updates, paid campaigns, and full career sites
Website -- Career page content
Events -- Speaking engagements, networking

Attract and retain the best employees

With a focus on your stage, size and needs, we will develop compensation programs and strategies to suit you.

Total rewards — Design programs for all components of compensation — base pay, incentive or variable compensation, equity programs that will support your organizational objectives and align with your financial situation
Org design — Customized templates to create leveled titles, comp bands, incentives, career ladder definitions, retention, and unsurpassed employee engagement
Salary structure — Fit for purpose for company size & stage (Seed, Series A, Pre-IPO, Public) and market-based
Compensation committee & board materials — Create a cadence for meetings and topics, build materials to ensure adoption of key compensation program elements that require approval at the CC or BOD level, encourage appropriate governance as required, and interface with 3rd party advisors as needed
Pay transparency — Statutory practices by geography
Pre- and post-IPO roadmap and program design — Support the transition to an IPO, creating peer lists, developing executive and board compensation benchmarks, advising on other required items such as severance and change-in-control agreements
