It's Your Platform. Own It.
 
It’s the height of the election season.  Candidates and the parties are all a buzz about platforms – the set of actions and ideas they support in order to appeal to the voting public.
 
The idea of carefully and consistently communicating who you are and what you believe in order to appeal to others is an often overlooked component of attracting top talent in an increasingly competitive market.
 
While a political candidate has months (if not years!) to communicate and appeal to voters, hiring managers have only weeks (if not days!) to appeal to top talent.  Being presumptive about what prospective talent knows about you and your company is never a winning approach.  It gives others the opportunity to define you in the candidate’s mind.
