2018, the year that employer branding takes the tech industry by storm
2018, put all the ‘new year, new me’s to one side and you’ll see that it’s still a year of dynamic change. Well it will need to be to stay at the top. The phrase “employer brand” came to life in corporate lexicon in 1996 to describe how a company’s unique offering, products and environment distinguish it […]
The yearly round-up – the 2017 edition
The holiday break went at lightning speed, as predicted. But now we’re firmly back in the office and despite it being early January, the ‘Happy New Year’ email openers are steadily decreasing and everyone is embracing their new and improved routines.

Whereas, a job description tends to build more of a narrative around the position. This is what I’m […]
Salary History: should we be asking the question?
Is it a social taboo to open career conversations with questions relating to prospective candidates’ current salaries? The jury isn’t quite out on this one, but it is certainly getting people talking. What is your current salary? It seems like a pretty straight forward question when you think about it. The reasoning behind the enquiry […]
The social diversity blind spot
Earlier this year, in a white paper about the UK’s social mobility problem, Talent Works called on employers to address their social diversity ‘blind spot’ and incorporate class in their diversity agendas. Things have taken an interesting turn since then. Last month, the BBC announced that it was considering setting targets regarding the socio-economic class […]
