Employer branding · Food and agriculture

Production starts at two in the morning so the shelf is full by seven.

Employer branding for a bakery chain or patisserie is what a baker, a counter assistant or a packing hand learns before joining: the night production shift, the accommodation, the December weeks, and where a counter job can lead.

In one paragraph

Employer branding for a bakery chain or patisserie is what a baker, a counter assistant or a packing hand learns before joining: the night production shift, the accommodation, the December weeks, and where a counter job can lead. GullySales writes the careers page and the outlet-level material.

Also written for

Bakery chains, Patisseries, Bakery manufacturers.

What we do not do

We do not recruit, supply candidates or run payroll. We help candidates see the employer you already are.

Where this sits

For bakery chains

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The pastry chef job in their head is not the job you have”

    A hotel management graduate wants tempering and plated desserts. Your unit needs eight hundred buns by six. Both are real work, and the one who was told which is which before joining is the one still there in June.

  • “Counter staff leave for the food court upstairs”

    The coffee chain in the same mall hires at a similar wage, with air conditioning and a name that sounds better at home. Your counter job needs something nameable: a shift in charge role, a trade learned, a manager worth working for.

  • “Accommodation decides who you can hire”

    Bakers often come from other states and live near the unit. The room, the distance and whether food is provided settle the decision well before the wage does, and none of it is written anywhere.

  • “December is the whole year”

    Plum cake orders, corporate boxes, extra hands and no leave from the middle of the month. Put it in the advert and in the induction, because the ones who discover it in their first week never come back in January.

What we do

What we deliver for bakery chains.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A careers page with production and retail kept apart

    The unit and the outlet described separately, with the night shift, the outlet hours, the accommodation and what each role is paid to do.

    Result: Two different readers each find their own job on one page.

  2. The trade described as a trade

    What a baker learns in your unit, who teaches it, and which products a second-year hand is trusted with.

    Result: Applications from people who want a skill rather than a wage.

  3. Outlet-level hiring material

    A poster, a forwardable message and a short script for the outlet manager, so every shop advertises the same thing in the same words.

    Result: Every outlet advertises the same job in the same words, instead of a note stuck on the shutter.

  4. Accommodation and food, stated plainly

    Where staff stay, what it costs them, what is provided and what is not.

    Result: Candidates from outside the state stop backing out at the last minute.

  5. The route from till to shift in charge

    Two or three people in your chain who started at a counter, with how long each step took them.

    Result: A reason to stay through a season instead of moving upstairs.

How the result is measured

  • Applications received per open role
  • Careers page engagement and time on page
  • Candidate drop-off during the interview process
  • Referral hires as a share of total hires

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the work runs for bakery chains

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Talk to current employees

    We interview a cross-section of staff honestly, including some who might raise uncomfortable points.

  2. 2

    Find the genuine reasons to join

    We identify what is actually true and attractive about working there, rather than generic claims that could apply anywhere.

  3. 3

    Build the careers content

    The careers page, job post templates and employee stories are written from what staff actually said.

  4. 4

    Review the candidate experience

    We check what happens between application and offer, since branding cannot fix a process that loses candidates through delay.

  5. 5

    Hand over and refresh periodically

    Content is handed over for ongoing use and revisited periodically as the team and roles change.

Before you hire anyone

The first thing to do yourself.

Read your company the way a good candidate would, before you change anything.

  1. Search for your company name with the word jobs, and read the first page of results as a candidate would.
  2. Read your last ten reviews and list the points that appear more than once.
  3. Ask your three newest joiners why they said yes, and what almost stopped them.

Judge any provider

What to ask any agency or ghost-writer.

Useful whoever you choose, including us.

  • Will you work from what our people actually say, or from a template?
  • Do you do recruiting or supply candidates, or only the employer-brand work?
  • Who approves anything that speaks for our staff?
  • Which of our existing job pages and profiles will you change, and which will you leave alone?
  • What do you count as a result, and what will you not promise?

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Tell us what you need
Do you find us bakers?
No. We run no hiring desk, hold no candidate database and take no part in wages. We write the page, the outlet material and the induction, out of conversations with the people already on your line.
We hire constantly across several outlets. Where should this start?
With the roles that cost most to replace, usually unit bakers and shift in charges, rather than with a careers page redesign. We sort that order out in the first conversation, and tell you which to do first.
Our night shift is genuinely hard. Will honesty cost us applicants?
It will cost you the wrong ones, which is the intention. Fewer applications and more joiners still with you in March is a better trade than a full inbox in January. One exception. If your unit pays less than the bakery down the road and that is not changing, keep your money, because the bakers on that street compare notes every week.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on what is being changed and how many of the people who matter see it. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever the work touches, such as your profiles, your website or your accounts, and time with the people who can answer our questions.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
