The Top 23 Employer Branding Twitter Accounts of 2019

Facebook is for friends. LinkedIn is for work. Twitter is for connecting with the world—in 280 characters or less.

In my time writing about inbound recruiting, employer branding, and recruitment marketing tools, I’ve found that Twitter is a reliable source to stay up to date with the latest news for talent enthusiasts.

Instead of keeping these awesome employer branding Twitter accounts to myself, I’ve compiled a list of the accounts I recommend you follow below. Because employer branding can quickly become a competitive field, I narrowed my selection of Twitter accounts by the following parameters:

  • Must have over 2,000 followers
  • Must have been active for at least six months
  • Must have tweeted original content in the past seven days
  • Must not be a brand account
  • Must provide insightful commentary on trends in recruitment marketing, employer branding, sourcing, and talent acquisition

I also leaned on these employer branding Twitter hashtags to help form my search:

  • #companyculture
  • #employeeadvocacy
  • #employeeengagement
  • #employerbrand
  • #employerbranding
  • #recruitmentmarketing
  • #recruitmentmktg
  • #talentacquisition

To make things simple, I organized the accounts that made the final cut alphabetically. Followers are rounded to the nearest hundred.
