In every organization the importance of the highly talented employees is said to be very
essential for the development of the productivity, quality and efficiency of the organization. For

for the individual to analyse the effectiveness of the organization. It is said to be an effective way
of making sure that the organization is able to reach the most people with their advertisement for
hiring the highly talented individuals (Rakhra, 2018). The reason why this is a very effective way
is because there are more the 3.8 million people over the social media platforms such as
Facebook, twitter and Instagram. Utilization of the social media will be considered to be a great
way for connecting with the individuals which are interested in company. Social media can be
also used as a low budget promotional platform where with the influencers the business can
easily be able to connect with the new and talented employees.

company think that working for a company which has a strong brand name for the employees
which work in a very engaging the environment. For this the organization can try to develop a

websites which are very useful for the employee branding is also a very strong platform on
which the employees working at the firm become responsible for the development of the brand
name (7 innovative ways to attract top talent to your company, 2021). The development of the
employer brand is said to be very essential for the development of a strategy towards the hiring
of the individuals which are talented and very good for the management of the organization.
