Vahura’s Strong Social Brand
Rides on Purpose
![Page 2: How Vahura's Social Brand rides on Purpose](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587978931a28ab37368b7bb7/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
It all started when a handful of people
with a purpose broke away from
Rainmaker* to form Vahura - the ‘legal
talent specialists’.
As conscious innovators they soon
realized that they wanted to wear their
passion for the profession on
their sleeves.
*Rainmaker, was earlier a recruitment, learning, content,
and test management company focused on the legal
ecosystem, with Vahura as the legal talent arm/ affiliate.

They rebranded their identity with the
purpose that drove them as a team,
Vahura – “Because Our Laws Need
Champions”.
Confident that the new positioning
would resonate with candidates just like
it did with their own employees, the
organization decided to take the story
to the entire legal ecosystem.

Social became the platform of choice to take
Vahura’s purpose to the world because:
1 It provided brand differentiation
2 It countered the lack of tech agility
3It originated from the personal interest of the nimble
leadership
4 It perfectly complemented the database-led approach

Talent was on social platforms, and
that’s exactly where Vahura wanted to
be. Leading the social charge were the
employees as the most compelling
voices of the Vahura story.
Cognizant of how consistency of
narrative is critical to building a story on
social media, it was made a part of the
organizational KRA.

Personas: Who to talk to

![Page 8: How Vahura's Social Brand rides on Purpose](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587978931a28ab37368b7bb7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Vahura started looking at LinkedIn
more closely, not just for building a
strong social brand but also to network
with prospective candidates and
businesses alike.
Personas were defined so that
communication could be created for the
intended audience.

The organization encouraged
‘well-celebrated profiles’, where
every employee could reach out to
a wider network and create deeper
engagement. This was in addition
to contributing to the larger
employer brand.

“Having employees at the forefront of the revolution has definitely helped establish
a strong social brand for us. We have been able to effectively use LinkedIn as
a platform to build a large virtual network and have leveraged it to make
real-world connections.”

At Vahura, we calculate Return on Relationships on social, not Return on Investments.
Success on social platforms is not just measured by how many hires we were able to close but on
other interrelated factors such as engagement rates, response time etc. We prefer to measure
Return on Relationships because social platforms go a long way in establishing
a strong brand, especially important for staffing firms like us in a niche space such
as legal recruiting.
Ritvik Lukose, CEO & Co-founder, Vahura

Vahura leads by example on how a
staffing organization can use the power
of social to project their purpose,
mobilize their own teams and engage
exactly with the kind of prospects
they want.
