This case is about the employer branding strategies adopted by McDonald's Corporation, one of the largest fast food chains in the world. Since the 1980s, entry-level jobs at McDonald's had come to be associated with low-paying dead end jobs. The term 'McJobs' had become synonymous with low-prestige, low-benefit, no-future jobs in the service or retail sector particularly at fast food restaurants and retail stores. Though the term was coined to describe jobs at McDonald's, it was later used to refer to any low-status job where little training was required and workers' activities were strictly regulated. Because of its common usage, the term appeared in the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) in March 2001 and the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) in 2003. The case discusses how McDonald's systemically tried to redefine the term 'McJobs' and improve its employer brand since the early 2000s. According to McDonald's, this negative interpretation of McJobs was not only inaccurate but also demeaning to the thousands of people working in the service sector. As employer branding was a critical management tool for companies to attract the right talent, McDonald's decided to try and revise the image associated with McJobs. This it did by taking various initiatives that also included advertising campaigns aimed at showcasing the benefits of working at McDonald's and bridging the divide between people's perceptions of the McJob and the real employment experience of people actually working for the fast-food chain. Experts felt that these were some of the best examples of a company successfully planning and implementing an employee branding strategy. However, the case also highlights the challenges faced by McDonald's in attracting new talent as derogatory comments continued to be made about McJobs and this could discourage prospective employees from taking up such jobs.

This case is about the employer branding initiatives adopted by the US Army. Since the early 1970s, the US Army had been known for its recruitment efforts that aimed to encourage people to take up a career with it. Experts felt that it was one of the first organizations to practice employer branding more than a decade before the term 'employer brand' was coined. However, recruiting for the US Army became a challenge with the country engaged in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Moreover, the recruiters also had to overcome certain misconceptions held by young Americans about considering a career in the US Army. This the US Army did by taking various initiatives that included recruitment advertising campaigns such as the 'Army Strong' campaign and the 'Officership' campaign that strove to showcase the benefits of a career with the Army. These noteworthy campaigns were supported by innovative recruitment tools such as the 'America's Army' game, Virtual Army Experience, and the Army Experience Center that aimed to bridge the divide between people's perceptions of the Army and the real experience of people actually working for the US Army. Experts felt that these campaigns and experiential marketing initiatives had led to an increase in recruitment numbers in the US Army and had also enhanced its employer brand. While some experts appreciated the US Army's recruitment advertising campaigns and its use of experiential marketing as a promotion tool, these initiatives also attracted criticism from certain quarters. Critics contended that the US Army was duping young Americans with their advertising and recruitment tools by projecting the career in the Army as a fun-filled and thrilling experience - something that was far removed from reality.
