I love a good tagline or slogan: Where’s the beef? What can brown do for you? Time to make the donuts. Or, better yet a song: “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.” Without evening naming names, we know the company. We recall a moment.

There’s something to be said for a brand that can share a message that creates meaning or even a sense of nostalgia.

Can an employer brand create a similar sense with just a simple tagline? Do employer taglines resonate? “Employer brand lines are essential,” says Susan LaMotte of exaqueo. “You’re not just creating one. You’re going through the same process consumer marketers do: research, value proposition, targeting.”

A Separate Brand Line for Careers

Should companies have two different taglines? One for the consumer brand and one for the employer brand. It’s an interesting debate. “How you operate should be in perfect alignment with the main business tagline,” states Jeff Waldman of Stratify and SocialHRCamp. “Creating a new one that is derived from it may make sense, but not always.”

For a company like Nike, recruiting might not need a separate tagline. “Just do it” seems to transcend all boundaries. However, an organization such as Toro (think snow blowers) may want to differentiate their product tagline from its career-brand. “Our brand is an extension of the corporate brand,” adds Celinda Appleby of HP. “We built on the ‘Make it Matter’ tagline, by creating tag lines that leveraged that.”

In the end, I guess, it depends on what makes the most sense based on your research.
