This master thesis deals with the highlighting of companies as employers through targeted Employer Branding measures. The recruitment of suitable employees has changed significantly in recent years.Whereas in the past the employees were the ones who applied to an employer, nowadays entrepreneurs have to actively look for qualified employees. This requires well thought-out strategies to be perceived as an Employer of Choice in times of shortage of skilled workers and to attract the best talents.Far too often, companies view Employer Branding only from a Personnel Marketing perspective and want to sell themselves well to the external market. The real essence, however, is to live the true values within the company and to build on this foundation of values. The activities have to fit the corporate culture and the employees should feel connected to the values so that they are loyal and motivated to work in a long-term manner. The Employer Branding strategy is needed to increase the awareness and attractiveness of the employer, to convey the values of the company both internally and externally and to attract the right applicants.The theoretical part of this work forms the basis for the successful practical development of an Employer Branding concept. The core of this work is the development of the Employer Value Proposition (EVP) - the unique selling point of an employer brand. The theoretical steps for the development of the employer brand are defined in such a way that they can be applied to any company.The practical part of this thesis deals primarily with the development of an Employer Branding concept for ALDI in Italy. The elaboration of the EVP is especially directed at potential candidates for the position of Area Manager. In the context of this concept development, the image of ALDI as an employer in Italy is discussed and analyzed by means of primary research, taking into account the target group. The results of this primary research together with a preceding secondary research serve as a foundation for the defined measures which support the perception of ALDI as an Employer of Choice.
