Blackbridge Communications

Blackbridge Communications Blackbridge is an employee-owned business specialising in employer marketing.

In a field where agencies are often controlled by distant conglomerates, or are start-ups without much depth of support, we’re refreshingly agile and well-resourced. We believe that our employee ownership makes us more entrepreneurial, more attractive to talent and better at maintaining client relationships.

“It’s what people experience on a Tuesday afternoon in December…”

As we discuss with Andrew Porter, Group Resource Director at Entain, candidates are savvy. They’re hungry for real people telling real stories about what it’s like to work for an organisation

“Candidates have more influence over your employer brand than ever before.”

But does that mean candidate experience should play a core part in your employer brand strategy?

As Andrew Porter, Group Resource Director at Entain, explains, shared experiences travel at remarkable speed on social. Experiences that can very quickly shape how your organisation is perceived far beyond the recruitment process.

A big thank you, Andrew, for joining us on Hot Takes.

Some of the best careers events don’t feel like careers events at all.

Frankie Dadzie, Global Recruitment Marketing & Attraction Lead at Linklaters, joins us on Hot Takes to make the case that the old playbook for reaching early talent has stopped working.

We get into what it actually takes to stand out in the legal sector now: designing events for social from the start, knowing when influencers earn their place in talent attraction and reading trends without chasing them.

Original Innovators put people at the centre of BT Group’s story, with female representation leading the narrative as a first step in reshaping perception from the inside out.

We handed the mic to real advocates. The people building the future at BT became the ones telling its story, from behind-the-scenes content to social that earns engagement.

It picked up Best Social Media Campaign at the Recruitment Marketing Awards last year, and more importantly, laid the groundwork for a more representative future for women in tech at BT Group. 👏
