Companies might not be expanding or augmenting their employer branding initiatives and capabilities at the same breakneck pace as they were before the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, but the shift in hiring demand hasn’t changed the fact that building a transparent, authentic, and compelling brand remains one of the most essential elements of talent acquisition today.
