Recruitment Videos Help You Attract the Best Talent

January 5, 2023

With so much competition in the job market, it can be challenging to differentiate yourself as an employer without recruitment videos.

Job postings that use text or pictures, like the example below, all look the same. They are not interesting and generate a lower response rate. Worst of all, they miss out on opportunities to attract the best candidates in the industry.

Traditional job posts also result in a more expensive hiring process. What if your team could spend less time sifting through resumes and conducting interviews?

What is a recruitment video?

Recruitment videos promote your company to potential job candidates. They showcase the company’s culture, values, and work environment, and highlight the benefits of working for the organization. The goal of a recruitment video is to attract top talent by providing an engaging and informative look into the company and the opportunities available.

Job postings with video receive 12% more views and have
a 34% greater application rate than postings without video.

How many job postings do you know that utilize video? Not many.

Video content is popular among job seekers and consumers. When you incorporate recruitment videos into your hiring strategy it has a significant impact on your ability to attract top talent and increase application rates.

Well-crafted recruitment videos in your job posts enhance your branding and position your company as an industry leader. They also give candidates a comprehensive overview of your mission and attract top talent who align with your values and culture. 

We understand that incorporating video into the hiring process can seem daunting, especially for companies that have relied on traditional methods for years. Our expert team can help you create compelling and engaging videos that showcase your company’s culture and values and attract the right candidates.

Types of Recruitment Videos

A successful employee recruitment marketing plan should include a variety of videos that showcase different aspects of the company, the culture, and the job opportunities available.

Brand Promo

Brand Promo videos provide an overview of the company’s mission services and culture. Brand Promo videos give potential candidates an idea of what it’s like to work for the organization.

Employee Testimonial

Employee testimonial videos give potential candidates an idea of what it’s like to work for your company. They showcase current employees discussing their experiences, the culture, and the work environment.

Job-specific video

Job-specific videos focus on a specific role or department within the company. They give potential candidates an idea of what the role entails, what skills are required, and what opportunities for growth and advancement are available.

Candidate Communications

Use recruitment videos in your candidate emails to improve communication and provide a better understanding of employer expectations. For example, a video message from the CEO can showcase the leadership and vision of your organization. Video can also be used to explain the hiring process or the next steps.

Recruitment Reels

Recruitment Reels are a collection of highlights from a company’s recruitment video marketing. They are designed to capture the attention of potential job candidates and provide them with a brief but powerful introduction to the company and its job opportunities.

Where to use your Recruitment Videos

Recruitment videos can be used in a variety of places to help attract and retain qualified candidates. The key is to make your recruitment videos as widely available as possible so that you can attract the best candidates for your open positions.

Website

Your website is often the first place that candidates will look when researching your company. Prominently displaying your Brand Promo video on your website, like audible does here, is a great way to increase the likelihood that they will apply for open positions.

Social Media

Social media helps you reach a wider audience of potential candidates. This is a great place to post your short and engaging Recruitment Reels.

Job Postings

Video can explain the job duties, qualifications, and requirements in a more dynamic and interesting way than a traditional text job posting. Videos help your job postings stand out from other employers and give candidates a better sense of what it’s like to work at your company.

Email Campaigns

Including recruitment videos in your email campaigns allow you to track metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and engagement rates. This can help you refine your recruitment strategy.
