There is no doubt companies benefit greatly from technological advancements<\/u>.\u00a0 The use of online recruitment sites, Skype interviews, video conferencing, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and most important of all, company videos<\/u><\/strong> are becoming the norm.<\/p>\n

Recent research shows that 55% of online content is video<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, not only are the so-called X, Y and Z generations watching these videos but their popularity is growing across all age groups<\/strong>. In addition, these figures are expected to continue to grow and will represent 81% of all consumer traffic by 2021.<\/p>\n

In one of our blog posts we explained how \u2018\u2019A recruitment video could make a difference\u2019\u2019<\/a>\u00a0. Nonetheless, creating the perfect video<\/strong> can still pose many challenges. Although there is no perfect formula to creating a viral video,\u00a0Jobboard Finder<\/strong><\/a> has made a selection of some key elements that could help your business reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Set out a clear plan of what your aim is<\/h2>\n

First and foremost, make sure you know what your core ambitions<\/strong> are. Why are you doing the video on the first place? Is it to attract candidates for new vacancies? Maybe you want to change your reputation, become more competitive or just give your business<\/strong> a facelift<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Then decide<\/strong> the specific\u00a0demographic<\/strong> and the type of workers<\/strong> you are looking to bring to your company whether it’s graduates, international talent, qualified workers or undergraduates. Having these elements in mind at all times will help you remain focused on the objective of the project and better elaborate your strategy.<\/p>\n

2. Focus on your strengths<\/span><\/h2>\n

Highlight the benefits of<\/strong> working in your company.<\/strong> You might be based in a popular city<\/strong> or in a thriving area<\/strong> of town. Focus on advantages your competitors might not have. Perhaps you offer longer holidays<\/strong> and higher salaries<\/strong> than the industry average.\u00a0Your offices might be very modern<\/strong> and have the latest technology,<\/strong>\u00a0show it off!<\/p>\n

All of these elements should be exploited. Featuring them in your video will give prospective candidates an insight into the workplace<\/strong>. After all, they are going to spend an average of 40 hours of week in the same space<\/p>\n

3. Interview some of your workers<\/h2>\n

Job seekers highly value companies’ culture<\/strong>. They want to see how people interact with each other on a daily basis and in meetings and know if they will be able to exploit their full potential and eventually advance in their career.<\/p>\n

Employee testimonials<\/strong> can have a huge impact on prospective candidates. Asking current employees what working at your company is like, what their job entails, the atmosphere and their experience can help your viewer engage and connect with you.<\/p>\n

Don’t limit yourself to one worker. Instead feature diverse profiles<\/strong> and positions<\/strong> from within the company to attract a broader range of candidates<\/strong>. Showcasing employees who have been working with you for a long period of time will also show loyalty<\/strong> and appreciation<\/strong> towards your company. By doing so, candidates<\/strong> gain better understanding<\/strong> of\u00a0 what you do and can also see if they envision themselves<\/strong> being a part of your company<\/p>\n

4. Be precise and authentic<\/h2>\n

Writing the right script<\/strong> for your corporate video<\/strong> will prove to be one of the toughest and time-consuming tasks but is an essential<\/strong> element. When using employee testimonials, make sure people sound natural. <\/strong>The information <\/strong>given must be precise and personal experiences should sound <\/strong>authentic and\u00a0real.\u00a0<\/strong>Failing to do so could result in loss of interest from the viewer as you might come across as superficial<\/p>\n

5. Keep it short<\/h2>\n

Less is always more<\/strong> and when it comes to videos the same applies. The first thing users check when opening a video<\/strong> is its duration<\/strong>. As a general rule, the shorter the video, the better. Just under 2 minutes<\/strong> is the ideal length.<\/p>\n

However, some marketing experts recommend adapting the length of the video to each platform<\/strong>, with videos with more content working better on Youtube<\/strong> and shorter ones on Twitter<\/strong>. If your video is content filled you must make sure to keep the viewer engaged at all times. Tools such as Youtube Analytics Views Report<\/strong> provides information on the estimated minutes each user has devoted to wathing your clip as well as the audience’s engagement.<\/p>\n

Corporate videos have become a game-changer not only for recruiters but also job seekers. Here are some of Jobboard Finder’s<\/a> favourite recruiting videos from noteworthy companies:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Google<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Fiverr<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Barclays Bank<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Zendesk<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Volvo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
