Abstract
This paper aims to review the literature over the past 10 years related to employer branding by shedding
light on its role of enhancing employer attractiveness, employee engagement, and retention. The paper
offers a better understanding for the literature gap related to the employer branding field. A systematic
review of 33 articles published between 2010 and 2019 was conducted in which the reviewed papers
were classified depending on electronic databases, namely Emerald, Science Direct, and Business
Source Complete. The research findings were analyzed based on two classifications: descriptive and
main topic analysis. The majority of the reviewed articles were empirical studies published during
the year 2018, revealing the importance of employer branding by creating employer attractiveness,
employee engagement, and employee retention, in addition to focusing on employee retention as a
main tool for achieving a competitive advantage.
