The question

A good package, but does a candidate see that too?

We have analysed hundreds of vacancies in recent years and almost always see the same problems: important benefits are missing, schemes are described differently in every vacancy, and distinctive advantages disappear behind catch-all phrases like 'excellent benefits'.

The result? Candidates get only a limited picture of what you actually have to offer as an employer.

With Benefits Recruitment Copy we make sure your benefits get the attention they deserve in recruitment too.

When is Benefits Recruitment Copy right for you?

Sound familiar?

Every vacancy tells a different story

Recruiters or hiring managers describe benefits in different ways.

You use generic terms

Phrases like 'good benefits' tell candidates nothing at all.

Not everything is mentioned

You offer far more than candidates can see from the vacancy.

Distinctiveness is missing

The benefits that make you special get too little attention.

Recruitment communication could be stronger

You want to use benefits more deliberately within your employer brand and candidate journey.

Not sure where to start?

In a short call we look at which approach fits your organisation.

Our approach

From benefits package to strong recruitment copy

  1. 01

    Inventory

    We map your benefits and look at how they are currently presented in vacancies and other recruitment communication.

  2. 02

    Star benefits

    We determine which benefits are genuinely distinctive and deserve a prominent place towards candidates.

  3. 03

    Recruitment copy

    We translate the package into short, clear and appealing texts that recruiters and hiring managers can use easily.

  4. 04

    A consistent story

    We create one basis for communication about benefits, so each vacancy no longer tells its own version of the story.

  5. 05

    Further translation

    Where wanted we can also translate the benefits to other parts of the candidate journey or think along about a dedicated benefits page on your careers site.

Result

The same strong story for every candidate

Afterwards you have recruitment copy that presents benefits consistently and attractively.

Candidates get a fairer and more complete picture of what you actually have to offer as an employer.

A clear selection of your star benefits

Clear, distinctive benefits copy

One consistent basis for all vacancies

Copy that recruitment can easily reuse

Process & timeline

Quickly to consistent recruitment communication

Beforehand we receive your current benefits documentation and a selection of vacancies and other relevant recruitment communication. We then analyse the current story, determine the star benefits and develop the new recruitment copy. Through one or more feedback rounds we work towards the final texts.

3-5weeks, from the moment the documents are supplied

The exact timeline depends on the size of the package, the depth you want and how quickly input and feedback are supplied.

Do you have a specific deadline? Then we agree up front on what is feasible.

Indicative investment

What does Benefits Recruitment Copy cost?

The effort needed depends on your current recruitment communication, the number of audiences and how far you want the benefits translated. Beforehand we estimate the hours needed and agree clearly which work falls within the assignment. We keep transparent track of the hours actually spent, so you always have insight into effort and cost during the project.

Frequently asked questions about Benefits Recruitment Copy

No. Benefits Recruitment Copy focuses specifically on communicating employee benefits within recruitment. We make sure recruiters and hiring managers have strong, consistent texts they can then use across different vacancies.

Star benefits are the benefits that are especially relevant or distinctive for your employer story. We determine which parts of the package deserve more attention towards candidates, so not every benefit has to be emphasised equally.

No — quite the opposite. A vacancy has to stay readable. We determine which benefits are important to name straight away and which information comes into its own better elsewhere in the candidate journey.

Yes. Not every benefit is equally relevant for every audience, and sometimes different schemes genuinely apply. We can develop a consistent basis and, where needed, differentiate between roles, entities or employee groups.

Yes. Looking at how benefits are presented today is exactly how we spot inconsistencies, missing information and room for improvement.

Yes. When there is too much relevant information to include in vacancies, a dedicated benefits page can be a good solution. We can help with the structure and content of such a page.

Benefits Recruitment Copy focuses specifically on how benefits are presented within recruitment and delivers reusable copy for vacancies and other recruitment communication.

The Benefits Statement brings the benefits package together far more extensively in a visual document that can be used for current employees, candidates and onboarding.

Certainly. The two reinforce each other. Recruitment Copy delivers a powerful first impression in vacancies, while a Benefits Statement can give candidates a fuller picture of the whole package later in the process.

Total Benefits is the first Employee Benefits Intelligence Platform in the Netherlands. It helps organisations centralise, benchmark, manage and continuously optimise their employee benefits.

Unlike traditional HR software, Total Benefits is not focused on HR administration or payroll processing. Instead, it is designed to collect, enrich and apply knowledge, benchmark insights and practical expertise related to employee benefits.

At the core of the platform is Benefits Intelligence: the collection, enrichment and application of knowledge, benchmark information, market insights and technology related to employee benefits. This enables organisations to make better-informed decisions about their benefits strategy.

Within the platform you can combine, among other things:

  • the Benefits Database, containing more than 200 fully developed employee benefits, organised across 12 benefit themes;
  • benchmark information and practical market insights;
  • governance and compliance support;
  • optimisation workflows;
  • communication and implementation tools;
  • AI-powered support through the Benefits Assistant.

Total Benefits is not a one-time assessment or a standalone software tool. It is an intelligence platform that supports organisations in building, managing and continuously improving their employee benefits strategy.

As organisations continue to use the platform, they gain increasing insight into:

  • how their benefits compare with the market;
  • which benefits are most relevant to their workforce;
  • where optimisation opportunities exist;
  • which trends and developments are shaping the future of employee benefits.

The goal: helping organisations move from fragmented employee benefits towards better-informed decision-making and a future-proof benefits strategy.

The name Total Benefits is inspired by the well-known HR concept of Total Rewards: the complete value an employer offers employees, including compensation, benefits, development opportunities, company culture and the overall employee experience.

Since our platform focuses specifically on everything beyond base salary, we chose the name Total Benefits.

Within the platform, employee benefits are organised into 12 core benefit themes, including wellbeing, mobility, flexibility, sustainable employability and meaningful work. This creates greater structure, consistency and visibility across the entire employee benefits package.

Built on this central knowledge layer, organisations can not only manage their employee benefits, but also benchmark, optimise and make better-informed decisions for the future.

Benefits Intelligence is the process of collecting, enriching and applying knowledge, data and market insights related to employee benefits.

By combining consultancy expertise, benchmark information, practical market insights and technology, Total Benefits enables organisations to make better-informed decisions about their employee benefits strategy.

Benefits Intelligence forms the foundation of every capability within Total Benefits — from the Benefits Database and benchmark insights to governance, AI-powered assistance and future platform innovations.
