Andrea Clarkson: Philanthropist, Employment Branding Expert and Recruitment Guru: Many of us are familiar with the concept of branding a company or product but it is my mission to brand myself. We brand ourselves everyday whether it is through the networking events that we attend, or our latest post on Facebook. I hope you enjoy learning more about Andrea the Philanthropist, Employment Branding Expert and Recruitment Guru. Andrea the Philanthropist: The vast majority of my professional life was spent working in nonprofit organizations. I currently spend a good portion of my time engaging with nonprofit groups that are seeking to get the members of their community back to work. In these competitive times it is more important than ever that candidates put their best foot forward. Please check my profile for updates on my public speaking appearances and workshops. Andrea the Employment Branding Expert: All companies have a living breathing reputation and persona that is their company brand complimenting that brand but taking on a persona of its own is the company’s employment brand. I am an expert and helping to establish, promote and develop a company’s employment brand. They key is to ensure that your employment brand compliments your overall company message while painting the distinct picture of what it is like to be a team member in that organization. If your company does not have a distinct employment brand you are missing out on engaging with top talent.
