Employer branding · Manufacturing

Your plant is forty kilometres past the last bus stop, and the job post never says so.

For a cement, tile or block plant, employer branding is mostly about answering where a candidate will live, how the shift runs, and whether the company name will still be worth something on a CV in five years.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

A plant HR officer and production colleagues planning shift coverage at a factory briefing station

In one paragraph

For a cement, tile or block plant, employer branding is mostly about answering where a candidate will live, how the shift runs, and whether the company name will still be worth something on a CV in five years. GullySales writes the careers page, the plant job posts and the depot sales posts from what your own people say.

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 building material manufacturers

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

  • “The first question is where I will live”

    Plants sit near the quarry, not near a town. A candidate from Hubballi weighing your job wants to know about quarters, the bus at shift change and whether the family can come. Silence on that point reads as a no.

  • “A quality chemist and a territory sales officer are not the same hire”

    The lab wants to know which tests are run in-house and on what equipment. The sales officer wants to know how many dealer counters they cover and who settles the fuel bill.

  • “Candidates compare your name with the two national brands”

    A territory sales officer takes the job partly for what the name does to their next interview. If your bags are known inside three districts, say what they will learn here that a bigger company would not let them near.

  • “Dust, heat and shifts are not secrets”

    Everyone in the trade knows what a packing plant is like in May. A careers page showing a clean office and a stock photograph tells a candidate you are hiding the rest.

What we do

What we deliver for building material manufacturers.

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

  1. A careers page written for the plant, not the head office

    Where each unit is, the nearest town, how people travel in, what the canteen and quarters are, which shifts run. The facts you would give on the phone anyway.

    Result: A candidate from the district applies knowing the commute and does not drop out after the site visit.

  2. Job posts for the roles you keep refilling

    Shift supervisor, packing plant operator, quality chemist, electrical maintenance, territory sales officer for the dealer counters. Each names the equipment and the reporting line.

    Result: The same post goes up every time a seat opens, instead of being rewritten badly at nine at night.

  3. Employee stories from the unit itself

    Interviews with a long-serving shift supervisor and an operator who joined this season. We ask why they stayed and print what makes the place bearable, not what makes it sound perfect.

    Result: Something on the page a plant person recognises as true.

  4. Your dealer network as a hiring channel

    Depot and dealer staff meet the people you want to hire. A short brief and a message they can pass on turns distribution into a source of applicants.

    Result: Applications from towns where you have no recruiter and no office.

  5. The gap between offer and joining

    In those three weeks a plant candidate takes the other offer, usually because nothing reached them. We map what your process does in that window and write what should be sent instead.

    Result: Fewer offers accepted and then quietly abandoned.

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 building material manufacturers

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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do you handle recruitment for the plant?
No. We do not source candidates, run interviews or touch payroll and contractor arrangements. Our part is the careers page, the job posts and the employee stories behind them, plus a written view of where your hiring leaks.
The plant is remote and we cannot change that. Is this worth doing?
Only partly, and you should know that before spending. No careers page makes a two-hour commute shorter. What it does is stop you paying for applications from people who were never going to move, and start reaching people in the districts around the unit who would. If quarters and transport are still unfixed, fix those first.
Which numbers would we see?
Applications per open role at each unit, how many came from the surrounding district, how many reached interview, how many joined. All four are recorded before we change anything and reported against that baseline.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
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.
