We held a recent webinar with Catherine Schlieben, Director of Recruitment, at WorldPay and Lindsay Brady, Insights Manager, at LinkedIn where they discussed how WorldPay invested in their Talent Brand, specifically in Singapore and the results they saw from it.
This story is about their brand journey and the obstacles they have faced along the way.
They shared:
- The importance of your Talent Brand & tips to build your Talent Brand Strategy
- How to get buy in from key stakeholders & get started
- An example of a branding campaign they carried out in Singapore to hire a team
- And finally, how they measured their success & future plans
