FAQs
Good branding matters in any business sector, and recruitment is no different. A solid brand helps you stand out in a crowd, attracting attention, earning recognisability and building trust.
An inconsistent brand, one which looks out of date, or a brand which is simply unappealing to your target audience could turn high-quality candidates away, and discourage clients from trusting your services.
Is branding just my brand colours and logo?
A good brand is built from a lot of different components. Two of those are your colours and logo, yes. But there’s a lot more to it, too, including:
Typography.
Imagery & iconography.
Communication styles, tone of voice, personality.
Company mission statement and values.
Company value proposition.
Yes, if you already like your brand and just want to refresh it for the modern age that’s absolutely fine. Not every recruitment agency needs a full rebrand. We’ll always tailor our service to your unique needs.
Your brand identity is another way of talking about the elements which make your agency, well, your agency. It’s what sets you apart from others.
Your visual identity is a part of that, and so is your brand personality, communication style, mission and value proposition. Essentially, everything that goes into a good brand is a part of your overall ‘identity’.
Brand guidelines are the dos and don’ts of your business.
It helps people understand how to use your visual identity, for example what colour the logo should be, what fonts to use, that sort of thing. But also the expectations you have from your recruitment team about how they’ll communicate and conduct themselves.
Guidelines are usually quite specific, but the best guidelines leave some wiggle room for creativity and innovation.
It can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to update or redo a recruitment brand. This depends on the scope of the project, your budget and buy-in from internal leadership.
