The work will discuss common vehicles of Job Advertisement utilized in the past and today and then advance to define and describe the process of Employer Branding used by companies and institutions to cope with the challenges comprised in the 21st Century labor market. The findings documented in this work are important to better understand mechanisms of HR-Marketing and the connection between internal and external branding and its implications on not only recruitment, but also on motivation, engagement and retention of current and prospective employees. This generation will turn employment-culture inside out radically Anders Parment, a lecturer at Stockholm Business School stated. The quote is aimed at Generation-Y. Generation-Y, defined as being born in the 1980s and 1990s, is increasingly represented in the labor-market, displacing the previous generation of Baby-Boomers 2 who were born in the time following WWII. This work will look at means of job advertising that worked well with the Baby-Boomers and go on to show how HR-Marketing is changing in order to satisfy the needs of this new generation which grew up with digital-media and social networks.
