Employer branding · Manufacturing

His mother decides. She is asking what happened the last time something went wrong.

Employer branding for a chemical manufacturer is what a plant operator, shift chemist or safety officer finds before joining, and what his family finds alongside him: the safety practice, the shift pattern and the journey to the estate.

In one paragraph

Employer branding for a chemical manufacturer is what a plant operator, shift chemist or safety officer finds before joining, and what his family finds alongside him: the safety practice, the shift pattern and the journey to the estate. GullySales writes the careers page and job posts from what your plant says.

Chemical manufacturers, Specialty chemical companies.

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 chemical manufacturers

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

  • “Safety is the hiring conversation, whatever else the page says”

    A chemical plant carries a reputation in the town around it. What the emergency plan covers and what a new operator is trained on is what he will be asked about at home.

  • “The estate is an hour out and that is your real competitor”

    The job he compares yours with is the one he can cycle to. Bus routes, timings and whether the last bus waits for the handover are worth more than any claim about opportunity.

  • “Shift chemists want to know who they can wake up”

    A reading goes out of range at two in the morning and somebody has to decide. Whether stopping a batch is treated as judgment or as a mistake is the job he is applying for.

  • “The effluent plant is somebody's entire career”

    Your effluent treatment operator is a statutory necessity and an invisible hire. He never appears on the careers page and he is the one you cannot replace in a hurry.

What we do

What we deliver for chemical 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

    The processes, the blocks, the shift pattern, the transport routes, the canteen and the colony if you have one. Written for an operator and for the people he lives with.

    Result: Applications from the towns your bus already covers.

  2. Safety practice described, within your own limits

    The induction, the refresher training, the protective equipment issued, the drills and who the safety officer is. Written from what your safety officer confirms and nothing beyond it.

    Result: The question at home answered before the interview.

  3. A post for each function on the plant

    Plant operation, shift chemistry, quality control, maintenance, effluent treatment and safety, each with its own requirement, its own shift and its own qualification.

    Result: Applications for the roles you genuinely cannot fill.

  4. Transport and allowance detail in every post

    Routes, timings, pick-up points, the shift allowance and the date it is paid. The facts that decide an application from forty kilometres away.

    Result: Candidates who apply knowing the journey.

  5. What your operators say about a bad day

    Interviews about a shift that went wrong and what happened afterwards, cleared by the people in them and read by your safety officer before it goes up.

    Result: Credibility a policy page cannot buy.

  6. A message for the diploma and trade institutes

    What goes to the attendant operator and chemical diploma courses you hire from, describing the first year on the plant and who teaches him.

    Result: Trainees who arrive with the shift already explained.

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 chemical 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
Are you going to recruit operators for us?
No. We do not source, screen or employ anybody on your behalf, and wages are not our business. The work is the careers page, the job posts and the employee content.
We would rather not discuss safety publicly. Can the page avoid it?
It can, and the silence gets read as an answer. Everybody in the town already holds a view about your plant, and a page describing training, drills and equipment gives them something to check it against. Your safety officer decides what goes up, and statutory obligations are a matter for your own advisers rather than for us.
Most of our floor is contract. Why would branding change anything?
Because contract operators choose between plants in the same estate and talk about it constantly, and the good ones become your permanent hires. If your answer is that they are the contractor's problem, this is the wrong purchase and we would rather say so now than after you have paid.
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 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.
