The advantages of  “boomerang” hiring, or bringing back the alums, are:

• Reduce your recruitment expenses
• Access a broader and qualified pool of candidates
• Improve your company’s overall performance; alumni require less time to be productive
• Gain individuals that already share values and expectations

Dos
• Treat your alumni as you would treat other applicants. The demands should remain the same.
• Only re-hire people who were top performers and left in good standing.
• Understand the reasons why they left in the first place, and do your homework before interviewing to make sure those issues no longer exist.

Don’ts
• Don’t lose contact with the alumni if the interview doesn’t turn into a hire.
 • Don’t assume the alumni will take your offer over a competing one because of their past history with the company. They are still looking for the best opportunity.

The store is unique by being the first in the area of EB. It offers products from around the world and gives customers the advantage of choosing what they want, allowing them to customise the offer and receive immediate delivery of their purchase.

The shops product portfolio ranges from

1) providing insider market knowledge regarding how companies and organisations work with their EB and EB activities, to

3) events and

4) other research based topics.

Michiel Pool, the project leader explains what Universum would like to achieve, “In the near future easily accessible products will be uploaded to the site. Like individual rankings, chapters of bigger products and also other EB books. Basically, it should be possible to buy whatever you want, small or big. That is the dream and also I want it to become the global platform for all EB products and services – not only exclusive to Universum. Here you will find all worth knowing about Employer Branding!”
