Dutch term

...dat je je aansprekend, onderscheidend, .... (whole phrase)

Dutch to English Other Other
Any help appreciated with this corker of a phrase (between **)!

Wil je als werkgever door potentiële kandidaten serieus overwogen worden, dan moet je ervoor zorgen **dat je je aansprekend, onderscheidend, maar vooral ook passend bij de sterkten van je organisatie, positioneert.** Niet alleen feitelijk, maar ook emotioneel. De organisatie moet zich als aantrekkelijke en waarachtige 'persoonlijkheid' laten zien.

Employer in question is the government.

If you want to be taken seriously as employer by potential candidates, you must make sure that you position yourself in an appealing, distinctive way that matches the strengths of your organisation.
