Komunikacija brenda poslodavca u oglasima za posao
Employer Brand Communication in Job Advertisements
Apstrakt
Koncept brenda poslodavca se intenzivno razvija i predmet je interesovanja i istraživanja teoretičara i praktičara iz oblasti kako marketinga, tako i menadžmenta ljudskih resursa. Cilj istraživanja koje je predstavljeno u radu je da ispita sadržaj oglasa za posao najpoželjnijih poslodavaca u Srbiji, kao i da ispita u kojoj meri komuniciraju elemente koje potencijalni kandidati vrednuju kada procenjuju atraktivnost poslodavca. Analizom sadržaja utvrđeni su i klasifikovani sadržaji oglasa za posao najpoželjnijih poslodavaca u Srbiji. Analiziran je 291 oglas za posao 18 najpoželjnijih posloda-vaca objavljenih na Infostud platformi u periodu mart-jun 2021. U istraživanju eksplorativnog tipa, urađena je kvalitativna i kvantitativna analiza objavljenih oglasa za posao. Utvrđeno je da radno okruženje i mogućnosti za sticanje znanja u najvećoj meri čine sadržaj oglasa za posao najpoželjnijih poslodavaca u Srbiji. Pored toga, kada su niže pozicije u kompanijama u pitanju, češće se komuniciraju instrumentalni apsekti radnog mesta, odnosno informacije u vezi sa zaradom, bonusima i nagrađivanjem. Iako deo sadržaja oglasa nisu bili svi elementi kojima se opisuje poželjan poslodavac, utvrđeno je da najpoželjniji poslodavci u oglasima obraćaju pažnju na vizuelna rešenja, teme koje su prikazane na fotografijama, angažovanje zaposlenih u funkciji komunikacije brenda poslodavca, kao i da komuniciraju brendove proizvoda koje kompanija nudi.
Abstract
The concept of the employer brand has been developing intensively and it is the subject of interest and research of scholars and practitioners in the field of both marketing and human resource management. The aim of the research presented in the paper is to examine the content of job advertisements of the most desirable employers in Serbia, as well as to examine the extent to which they communicate the elements that potential candidates value when assessing the attractiveness of employers. By employing content analysis, the content of job advertisements of Serbian most attractive employers is determined and classified. In total, 291 job advertisements of 18 most desirable employers published on the Infostud platform in the period March-June 2021 were analyzed. In the exploratory research, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of published job advertisements was performed. The results of the research indicate that the content of job advertisements of the most desirable employers in Serbia most often communicates about the work environment and opportunities for acquiring knowledge. In addition, instrumental aspects of the workplace, ie information related to earnings, bonuses and rewards, are communicated more often for lower positions. Although not all elements describing the desired employer were part of the content of the advertisements, it was determined that the most desirable employers in the advertisements pay attention to visual solutions, topics shown in photos, engaging employees in communicating the employer‘s brand, and communication of product brands.
