European Association of Employer Branding Agencies

What European Association of Employer Branding Agencies does

The European Association of Employer Branding Agencies is a for-profit, private industry alliance based in Antwerpen, Belgium, founded in 2019 and operating under the shorthand Employer Branding Alliance (EBA). The organization is structured as a formal collective of eight independent employer branding and recruitment marketing agencies spanning Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and the United Kingdom, giving it multi-market European delivery capability from inception.

Its core offering is collective employer branding and recruitment marketing services delivered through its member agencies, rather than a single proprietary technology platform. There is no disclosed software product, data product, or technology stack in the source material; the value proposition rests on the combined capacity, geographic reach, and category authority of the member agencies, with Anita Zvezdovics noted as a founding member.

The business model is services-based and member-driven: client engagements for employer branding and recruitment marketing work are routed to member agencies, and the alliance itself functions as the industry body that confers standards, shared identity, and cross-border coordination. Reported headcount sits in the 51–100 range, likely reflecting combined staffing across the eight member agencies rather than a single corporate entity. No pricing model, revenue figures, funding history, or named client logos are disclosed in the available data.
