Abstract

We propose that brand equity can influence job seekers’ perceptions of job opportunities. Our results suggest that job seekers view working for a strong brand as a way to build the power of their resume. The belief that strong brands build powerful resumes is, in part, the outcome of job seekers’ beliefs that working for a strong brand will allow them to advance to better positions internally, provide them job-related training and skills, and demonstrate their willingness to work hard. In turn, job seekers express a greater desire to work for strong brands as measured by salary requirements and perceptions of job appeal in experiment 1 and job choice in experiment 2.
