Employer Branding News (EBN) comes to your ears with the same dry wit and disruptive insights you’ve come to expect from our articles and videos.
We tackle the world of work, employer branding, recruitment, culture and everything in between, with a raised eyebrow and a data-backed argument.
If you’re a company leader, HR rebel, or just someone who thinks ”culture fit” is a lazy excuse, you’re in the right feed.
Each episode unpacks real-world employer brand moves, cuts through corporate speak, and challenges tired talent narratives.
Less fluff, more facts. Occasionally funny. Always unfiltered.
