2. TOOLS TO USE: TikTok

While TikTok is growing fast, brands still are uncertain of how to use and activate this channel for their EB strategies. As always, start from learning, observing and mapping your persona profiles on that.

4. FACTS TO HOLD IN MIND: Internal mobility

Internal job applicants who apply for an internal role and do not get picked for it are almost twice as likely to leave their organization, unless a hiring manager interviews a candidate or if the role is offered to another internal candidate rather than an external candidate.
