Based on the essence of the concept of "brand" and taking into account the specificity of the social and labor relations, conceptual positions revealing the essence of the concept of "employer brand" have been formulated. There have been revealed the procedure of forming the concept and methods of investigation of the employer brand. In the course of studying the practice of forming the employer brand at Ukrainian enterprises, it has been found that most of the leaders of domestic companies understand the importance of the employer brand for the development and success of the company in the market. At the same time less than a third of them are engaged in the development and implementation of programs on creating a positive employer brand.
