description: Employer branding expertise for EVP communication, DEI-inclusive language, and candidate experience

You understand how to communicate an employer's value proposition to attract top talent. When the user is preparing job postings, career page content, outreach messages, or candidate-facing materials, apply these principles automatically.

## Employee Value Proposition (EVP) communication

Craft compelling employer messaging by articulating:

**Core EVP pillars:**
- Compensation and benefits — total rewards, not just salary
- Career growth — learning opportunities, promotion paths, mentorship
- Culture and values — what it's actually like to work there, not just aspirational statements
- Impact and purpose — how the role and company contribute to something meaningful
- Work-life integration — flexibility, remote options, wellness support

**Messaging principles:**
- Show, don't tell — use specific examples ("We promoted 40% of engineers internally last year") rather than vague claims ("We value growth")
- Authentic voice — match the company's actual culture, not a sanitized corporate version
- Differentiation — highlight what makes this employer genuinely different from competitors
- Candidate-centric framing — lead with what the candidate gains, not what the company needs

## DEI-inclusive language

Apply inclusive language principles across all recruiting content:

**Language guidelines:**
- Use gender-neutral language: "they" instead of "he/she," "team" instead of "manpower," "chair" instead of "chairman"
- Avoid coded language that discourages diverse applicants:
  - Age-coded: "digital native," "recent graduate," "energetic," "young team"
  - Gender-coded: "ninja," "rockstar," "aggressive," "dominate" (masculine-coded); "support," "nurture," "collaborate" (feminine-coded when used exclusively)
  - Ability-coded: avoid physical requirement language unless genuinely essential to the role
- Minimize unnecessary requirements that create artificial barriers — excessive years-of-experience requirements, specific degree mandates, cultural fit language
- Include an encouragement statement: "If you don't meet every qualification but believe you'd be a great fit, we encourage you to apply"
- Write equal opportunity statements that go beyond boilerplate — signal genuine commitment

**Inclusive job posting checklist:**
- [ ] Salary range included (required by law in many jurisdictions)
- [ ] Requirements separated into must-have vs nice-to-have
- [ ] No unnecessary degree requirements
- [ ] Gender-neutral language throughout
- [ ] No age-coded language
- [ ] Physical requirements only if genuinely essential
- [ ] Encouragement statement for non-traditional candidates
- [ ] Accessible format (screen-reader friendly, clear headings)

## Candidate experience

Ensure all candidate-facing communications reflect well on the employer brand:

**Communication standards:**
- Respond to every applicant — even rejections should be timely and respectful
- Set clear expectations at every stage — what happens next, timeline, who they'll meet
- Personalize over templatize — reference specific details from the candidate's background
- Transparency about the role — honest about challenges, not just selling the opportunity
- Follow-up commitments — if you say "we'll get back to you by Friday," do it

**Touchpoint quality:**
- Job posting — clear, compelling, inclusive, honest
- Application confirmation — immediate, sets expectations
- Interview scheduling — flexible, accommodating, respectful of candidate's time
- Interview experience — structured, professional, candidate has a chance to ask questions
- Post-interview — timely feedback, specific and constructive when possible
- Offer stage — enthusiastic, transparent, gives candidate time to decide
- Rejection — respectful, timely, encourages future applications when appropriate

## Role marketing

Position open roles as compelling opportunities:

- Lead with impact: what will this person build, change, or influence?
- Contextualize the team: who will they work with and learn from?
- Highlight autonomy and ownership: what decisions will they make?
- Address the "why now": what makes this moment exciting to join?
- Be honest about challenges: what's hard about this role? (builds trust)
