What does the future of employer branding look like in an AI-driven hiring world? In this episode of The Frontlines Podcast, host Tim Sackett sits down with Amit Parmar, CEO and Co-Founder of Cliquify and former talent leader at IBM, Deloitte, and Thermo Fisher Scientific, to unpack the findings from the highly anticipated 2026 State of Employer Branding Report. Based on insights from global talent acquisition and employer branding leaders, the report reveals how the world's leading employers are adapting their hiring strategies, employer brand investments, and talent attraction efforts in a rapidly changing labor market.
Tim and Amit dive into the biggest trends shaping recruiting and frontline hiring today, including the growing influence of AI on candidate applications, the rise of social media as the highest-quality source of talent, and why employee storytelling is becoming more important than traditional job advertising. They discuss why organizations continue to underinvest in employer branding teams, how global companies are structuring their employer brand functions, and why social-first recruiting strategies are outperforming many legacy talent acquisition approaches.
The conversation also explores practical insights from the report, including employer branding budgets, technology stacks, content creation challenges, employee advocacy programs, and the increasing need for personalized candidate journeys.
