Today’s jobseekers want to know that a company is progressive, trustworthy and diverse. They want to see the real deal – and the best way to accomplish that is with employee stories.

It’s no surprise that job seekers want to hear from the people they will be working with, and reporting to, when considering an opportunity.

No. Do they try and tap into an emotional or physical need that will prompt you to think of their chocolate bar next time you’re hungry/sad/romantic? Yes!

In times of crisis, how your company chooses to show up for its employees, customers and partners speaks volumes about your culture — more than that dusty set of values next to the photocopier ever will.
