Recruitment video guide

The single most powerful tool for communicating what sets your company apart — and why you’d be a great place to work.

Star performers today have their pick of options. A strategically executed recruitment video improves hiring efficiency with demonstrable ROI.

Everything you need on using recruitment videos effectively — why you need them, when to use them, and how we help you get maximum ROI.

1Why recruitment video

Seven benefits you can’t miss.

Finely target the perfect candidate profile — even helping bad-fit candidates self-select out — at every stage of the talent funnel, from awareness to hire.

Convey your ideal culture and attract candidates who’ll fit right in — a great way to invite, promote and normalise diversity and inclusion.

Reuse and repurpose recruitment videos almost indefinitely — re-edits and shorter social cuts for maximum mileage.

Compete with glossy tech businesses for the best talent, clearly communicating your commitment to being digital-first.

Video conveys complex concepts in a digestible way — the most efficient medium for a unique offer.

Get found online — video drives organic traffic from search results.

Remind new and longstanding staff why they chose you. One recruitment series we produced for a global energy firm reduced their drop-out rate by 93%.
