Making openness a central part of your employer brand aspiration

Steven Brand, Recruitment Marketing & Employer Brand Manager, Deloitte

I have wide experience in helping organisations attract, recruit and retain the best talent across sectors and specialisms. No longer a stop-start communication, this should now be a constant conversation, and one which doesn't only start once you express an interest or stop once you've joined. My role primarily is as consultant to the business - balancing focused talent requirements with the broader aims, purpose and objective of the firm. As a highly significant recruiter of both students and experienced professionals, the role involves thinking years into the future while delivering in real time, everyday. Quite the variety. And quite the great place to work.

Discussion Panel - How to get the best out of your Job advert

Joe Slavin, MD - Recruitment Advertising at Johnston Press

I've spent 15 years in the online media space as a highly successful senior manager. I've led businesses of 250+ people in the UK and the US. Most recently I was CEO at fish4 and Managing Director at Monster.Co.UK. I've joined Johnston at the right time as local media is becoming the key driver of the whole SoLoMo upheaval being played out across the 'post desktop' space. I've started my own business, worked in startups and spent a year at NBC-TV; a division of GE, one of the largest corporations in the world. I most love opportunities to grow businesses - it's great fun, I'm good at it, it beats the alternative and it gives me the chance to move good people into new roles that will stretch and develop them. I'm quite proud of the vast number of people I have managed who have moved onto senior management positions. I intend to keep that momentum going at my latest opportunity at Johnston Press for the web brands JobsToday, MotorsToday and PropertyToday along with our new directory / social networking / voucher product called Find it.
 

Dan Martin, Managing Director at Broadbean Technology

Dan took the helm at Broadbean in September 2010. His previous jobs as Digital Business Development Director for DMGT, and his work with the various digital businesses in the portfolio, primed him well for his role at the Bean. Career opportunities can come along unexpectedly and Dan would say that the timing of this particular opportunity was perfect. An exciting prospect with a business he knew well - just two of the motivations behind his decision to join the Bean team. Dan believes strongly in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and occasionally manages to achieve it. Golf is his biggest weakness, both in terms of his obsessive focus and lack of talent, but he is also interested in a wide variety of other sports. Increasingly, watching is becoming more common than playing, but he still hasn't given up hope that he will receive the call to don the red of Liverpool FC (but don't hold that against him!).
