"But Julie! Isn't this just Employer Brand Marketing??” — When That Assumption Blocks Recruitment Progress - 266

“But isn’t this just employer branding, Julie…?” It’s a question that comes up when clinics start looking beyond job ads and into how they’re seen as a place to work. In this episode of Veterinary Voices, Julie South answers that question directly. Because while employer brand marketing and what she’s describing can sound similar, they’re designed for different situations. Employer brand marketing comes from large organisations — built to manage perception across multiple locations, roles, and audiences. Veterinary hiring decisions don’t usually happen there. They happen at clinic level. A specific team. A specific place. A particular way of working — on an ordinary day. Julie explains why that difference matters, and what clinics risk missing when they reach for a solution that wasn’t designed for how hiring actually happens in their world. Including something less obvious: What changes inside a clinic when its own people start telling its stories. Stay to the end for two questions about what someone actually finds when they look up your clinic. In This Episode 01:33 – “But isn’t this just employer branding, Julie?” 03:59 – What employer brand marketing is designed to do 06:22 – Where hiring decisions actually happen 08:12 – Why one approach can’t replace the other 09:06 – What changes inside a clinic when stories are told 10:16 – Two questions about what vets and nurses find when they look you up Struggling to get results from your job advertisements?
