Breakroom offers a quiz-style tool designed specifically for frontline workers. Employees answer a set of 30 questions about their current workplace, and in return, they receive recommendations for other roles they might like. Employers pay for a branded profile and access to aggregated feedback.

✅ Strong data about the retail sector
✅ Information about specific employee benefits
✅ Transparent, and qualitative feedback

❌ Limited Talent Scope: It focuses heavily on frontline roles. If your talent strategy spans corporate, regional, or group-level hiring, the platform doesn’t deliver. Wisdom supports full-pipeline insight—from entry-level to executive.

❌ Biased Data Set: Breakroom captures insights primarily from active job seekers or dissatisfied employees. This skews your employer brand data, giving you a distorted view of how your overall workforce perceives you.

❌ Weak Benchmarking: Employers can only compare their performance against a small group—typically around 10 competitors—and the metrics are limited. Wisdom allows for broad, market-wide benchmarking, so you always know where you stand.

❌ Channel Mismatch: The majority of retail employees (86.4%) don’t find jobs through boards. Since Breakroom relies heavily on this channel, the insights have limited practical use when building a resilient employer branding strategy.

❌ Transactional, Not Transformational: Breakroom’s insights are often binary—focusing on questions like whether staff work bank holidays. While this is useful, it doesn’t dig into the emotional, cultural, and aspirational aspects of your brand that drive retention and loyalty.

Wisdom is a platform designed specifically for continuous employer brand tracking. It captures data from diverse talent groups — by age, gender, function, ethnicity, and more — and provides in-depth analysis of awareness, appeal, and consideration.

Wisdom’s strength lies in translating rich employer brand data into actionable insights, helping teams build a smarter strategy for employer branding.

Here’s why Wisdom is the superior solution for employer brand tracking:

✅ All-Level Talent Insights: Wisdom doesn’t limit itself to one type of role. Whether you’re focused on operational staff or senior leadership, you get a holistic view of what matters to your people.

✅ Balanced, Representative Data: By capturing sentiment across both passive and active talent pools, Wisdom gives you more reliable and well-rounded employer brand data.

✅ Best-in-Class Benchmarking: See how your offer stacks up across the market—not just against a small group. This helps you stay competitive and align your strategy for employer branding with real-world expectations.

✅ Insightful Over Practical: While practical benefits matter, Wisdom uncovers the emotional drivers behind employee engagement and advocacy—what makes people join, stay, and thrive.
