5 Great Examples of Employer Brands: Discover Them!

In today’s hypercompetitive talent market, building a compelling employer brand isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a strategic necessity. Top employer brands don’t just attract talent; they inspire, engage, and retain the employees who will shape the future of their companies. In this blog, we explore five standout examples of employer branding done right, and what you can learn from each.

What Makes an Employer Brand Truly Great?

A strong employer brand is more than a career page or perks list—it’s the authentic perception current and potential employees have about what it’s like to work at your company. It's shaped by the employee experience, internal culture, leadership, values, and external communications on social media platforms and beyond.

The best companies actively build their brands from the inside out, aligning company culture, branding strategy, and employer branding strategy into one unified voice. Whether through employee testimonials, careers pages, or viral videos, these brands communicate who they are and what they stand for—clearly and consistently.

Let’s take a closer look at five companies setting the gold standard.

1. Salesforce: A Culture Built on Ohana

Salesforce refers to its employees as part of the “Ohana” (Hawaiian for family), and that mindset radiates through its employer branding. Its careers page emphasizes community, inclusion, and purpose, showcasing employee testimonials and videos that give job seekers a transparent view of the company culture.

What sets Salesforce apart?

• Strong values alignment with its mission
• A well-defined employee value proposition
• Robust internal talent management programs

Salesforce’s strategy is rooted in employee engagement, and it uses social media to amplify its brand story across the world.

Key takeaway: Define your employer brand with purpose—and ensure your employees feel part of something bigger.

2. HubSpot: Transparency as a Talent Magnet

HubSpot’s approach to employer branding is refreshingly transparent. Their culture code—a living document—has been viewed over 5 million times. It lays out the company's mission and values, how they make decisions, and what they believe in.

They even made their privacy policy, terms of service, and internal management documents publicly accessible to reflect trust and authenticity.

Why does this matter?

• Job seekers crave authentic communication.
• Employees can feel proud of working at a company that trusts them with information.
• It positions HubSpot as a top employer in the technology space.

Key takeaway: Transparency isn't just an HR buzzword—it’s a branding asset.

3. Unilever: Global Brand, Personalized Employee Experience

Unilever shows how a global company can create a strong employer brand while still offering localized employee experiences. With a presence in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Africa, Unilever tailors its employer branding strategy for different markets while staying true to its core values.

What they get right:

• Personalizing content for potential candidates in different regions
• Promoting career growth through diverse learning and development opportunities
• Highlighting real stories from employees across departments and geographies

Unilever’s social media pages are packed with rich content—from career advice to employee spotlights—making it easy for candidates to envision themselves thriving there.

Key takeaway: Localization + authenticity = great employer branding.

4. Spotify: Making the Employer Brand Soundtrack Personal

Spotify’s employer branding is as vibrant as its streaming experience. Through its “Life at Spotify” initiative, the company showcases the employee experience, office culture, and perks via mini-documentaries and relatable social media content.

The brand features:

• Behind-the-scenes videos of a day in the life at Spotify
• Candid employee testimonials
• Rich storytelling around diversity, belonging, and creative freedom

Their approach is unique because it feels human—not corporate. Spotify knows how to use media to convey culture, not just facts.

Key takeaway: Create storytelling that resonates with real people, not just HR checklists.

5. GoPerfect: AI-Powered Brand with a Human Touch

Let’s not overlook GoPerfect—a platform revolutionizing how recruiters build their pipelines. While GoPerfect isn't a household name (yet), it’s becoming a top employer branding case study for the future-forward companies looking to attract and retain top talent.

Here’s what makes GoPerfect a great employer:

• A culture of innovation and inclusivity that attracts tech-savvy candidates

Plus, the platform's own talent acquisition team demonstrates how internal employer branding can drive results by creating smart hiring campaigns, sharing insights on various social channels, and using real-time data to inform decisions.

Key takeaway: A tech-driven strategy backed by a human-first workplace can shape a magnetic employer brand.

Building Your Own Employer Brand

Whether you're leading recruitment for a startup or scaling an enterprise, building a strong employer brand starts with your people.

Start by asking:

• What do our current and potential employees really care about?
