In their new book, Give & Get Employer Branding, Charlotte Marshall and Bryan Adams introduce the idea that your company’s employer brand should act as a “smart filter” that repels the many and compels the few to want to join your organization.
Give & Get Employer Branding redefines the concept of an employee value proposition (EVP) entirely. Instead of a sales pitch aimed at seducing candidates with sizzle, this refreshing new approach harnesses the value to be found within the cultural realities and expectations of your company.

Charlotte Marshall and Bryan Adams, co-authors of Give & Get Employer Branding
The central premise of their book is the Give & Get Framework — the concept that candidates understand they need to sacrifice something in order to receive something in return. By making this arrangement explicit in your employer brand positioning and content, you will help filter out wrong-fit candidates and stop people who aren’t the right fit from applying in the first place, joining and leaving your org — saving your recruiting team time and money.
We all know that an EVP is not only company-defining, it’s career-defining, and you can’t risk getting it wrong. Even if your company has an EVP or you’ve never created an EVP before, as a talent acquisition, HR, Recruitment Marketing or employer branding practitioner, you should know the Give & Get Framework!
