About the Episode

About the episode: It’s the episode that you’ve been asking for–an employer branding campaign from a university. On this episode of “I Wanna Work There!” we’ll learn about efforts at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to increase their job applications and re-engage their faculty and staff.

Our guests break down three things:

  1. How UMass crafted their employer value proposition,
  2. What they learned about their prospective and current employees in building their campaign, and
  3. Thoughts on how institutions can resourcefully begin their employer branding efforts.
