Magnet Score: measure your employer appeal 

Profiling yourself well in the job market starts with knowing yourself. Where is your organisation's attraction for talent? You measure it with the Magnet Score!

The Magnet Score in brief 

  • Measure the attractiveness of your workplace. What are your unique organisational qualities? And where is there potential for improvement. If you know this, you can take a strong position on the labour market and build an even stronger employer for the future.
  • The Magnet Score offers data-driven insight into employer attractiveness. Developed with psychological and scientific insights in collaboration with Eveline van Zeeland.
  • The methodology is based on the EmpAt scale by Berthon et al (2005). The only validated measurement instrument in the field of Employer Attractiveness.

From work perception to brand perception:
the 6 pillars you can work on

Do you really want to stand out as an attractive employer? Then it is important to know where your differentiating strengths lie. You can do this by excelling on six pillars that form a foundation for being an irresistible employer:

  1. Fascinating: How inspiring and motivating is the work you offer? Organisations that manage to captivate employees create engagement and motivation.
      
  2. Development: Employees want to grow. Do you offer enough opportunities for personal and professional development?  

  3. Social: A pleasant working atmosphere and good interpersonal relations contribute to job happiness. How well does your organisation match this? 
     
  4. Economic: Market-based and transparent remuneration is a basic requirement. Are you competitive in what you offer?
      
  5. Meaningful: Meaningful work that contributes to the well-being of customers, patients or society as a whole gives employees deep satisfaction and strengthens their commitment to the organisation. 
     
  6. Vital: Healthy employees are more productive. What initiatives do you have to support their physical and mental health?

Each pillar is measured on a 5-point scale. When an organisation achieves a score of 4 or higher on one or more of these pillars, it distinguishes itself as an irresistible employer in this area. Such a score is not only a confirmation of quality, but also acts as a powerful magnet for talent.  

Besides knowing the qualities of your organisation, it is also important to know which aspects talent really cares about. The Magnet Score measurement also provides insight into this. These insights help set the course: in which area do you want to further strengthen your Employer Brand in the coming years?

The Magnet Score was developed in collaboration with independent scientist Eveline van Zeeland. Her expertise in marketing psychology and neuroscience aligns well with the underlying objectives of the Magnet Score. The methodology is based on the EmpAt scale by Berthon et al (2005). The only validated measurement instrument in the field of Employer Attractiveness. This methodology has been enriched with current insights regarding the labour market.

The Magnet Score in practice

You know the drill; you have a traditional Employee Satisfaction Survey (MTO) conducted and you receive a nice, comprehensive report with all the scores. But where do you start? What are you going to do? Unfortunately, we often see this process get stranded early and employees have no idea what actually happens with the input they have given.   

The Magnet Score focuses very concretely on 6 pillars so you don't get bogged down in too much detail. It becomes immediately clear where the attractiveness of your organisation lies and where there is potential for improvement.   

The Magnet Score is a quantitative assessment that provides good input for a qualitative assessment. We do this by holding interactive workshops with colleagues. During these workshops, we discuss the results of the digital survey using various working methods. This way, employees are informed of the results and are given tools to get started themselves.

Veelgestelde vragen

Een employer brand wordt sterker als medewerkers het herkennen, begrijpen en uitdragen. Dat lukt door:

  • een duidelijk en herkenbaar werkgeversverhaal
  • interne activatiecampagnes
  • storytelling vanuit echte medewerkers
  • formats die teams zelf kunnen inzetten
  • onboarding die aansluit op het werkgeversverhaal
  • managers meenemen als dragers van het merk
  • eenvoudige, herhaalbare communicatiemiddelen
  • regelmatige updates en succesverhalen

Employer Branding werkt pas echt als het van binnenuit gedragen wordt.

Interne Employer Branding richt zich op betrokkenheid, trots en cultuur. Het gaat om alles wat medewerkers ervaren tijdens hun tijd in de organisatie. Het is een cruciaal onderdeel van een sterk werkgeversmerk.

Zonder inzicht is het lastig om te bepalen wat werkt en waar je moet bijsturen. Door Employer Branding te meten:

  • ontdek je waar je kansen laat liggen
  • zie je waar frictie zit in de talentreis
  • maak je gerichtere keuzes in campagnes en content
  • voorkom je verspilling van tijd en budget
  • bouw je structureel aan een sterker werkgeversmerk

Meten maakt Employer Branding concreet en stuurbaar. De Magnet Score helpt om dit inzichtelijk te maken en om gericht te verbeteren.

De effectiviteit van Employer Branding meet je aan de hand van indicatoren binnen de volledige talentreis. Denk aan:

  • instroom: aantal en kwaliteit van sollicitaties
  • toestroom: tijd tot invulling en candidate experience
  • doorstroom: betrokkenheid en ontwikkeling
  • uitstroom: verloop en retentie

zichtbaarheid: bereik en engagement op content Deze losse data zegt op zichzelf nog weinig. De kracht zit in het combineren van deze inzichten. De Magnet Score brengt deze factoren samen in één overzicht en laat zien waar je werkgeversmerk sterk is en waar de grootste verbeterkansen liggen.
