What Are Recruitment Videos?

  • A video for attracting candidates to a role.
  • Could be one general video about an open position.
  • Or a one-to-one video message to someone who you think is a perfect fit.
  • The perfect tool for filling niche roles in a talent market like today’s.

Benefits of Recruitment Videos

  • Builds more trust with candidates
  • Inserts emotion into an otherwise formal process
  • Increases retention with top performers
  • Increases referrals in a crowded talent pool

Four Types of Videos for Recruiting

1. General Announcement Recruiting Videos

  • Explain why your company is such a great employer in a format that’s more likely to be noticed.
  • You can make general announcement videos feel personal with video personalization.

2. Culture Videos

  • Any video that shows off your company’s personality.
  • Can feature a montage of team events, interviews about what it’s like to work there or recount the company’s history.

3. Open Job Posting Videos

  • You could make one video about multiple postings, or one video for each posting.
  • Feature the CEO or the hiring manager.
  • The greatest advantage to open job posting recruitment videos is the reach.

  • Allows you to be candid and ramble a little without fear of being misinterpreted.

TIPS:
