I just found an interesting tool on LinkedIn; Company Statistics.  It is currently listed as being in Beta and provides an overview of information such as the top companies folks worked for prior to working with the company and the top organizations folks went to when they left the company, the average number of years of work experience of employees at the company vs. employees at similar companies (“similar companies are based on the same industry and similar size”), and similar statistics…

Are practitioners of employer branding in this country too enamored of the market-centered metrics of packaged goods branding to see the strategic role that human capital branding can play in the talent environment of their organization?
