Enjoy this miniature guide on how to bring your culture to life through employee-led video to boost applications and attract top talent – a blog piece written by Seenit.
Why is it becoming harder to attract and retain the right talent?
Well, 88% of millennials care about culture as a deciding factor in choosing a job. – How are you showing what it’s really like to work at your company?
64% of professionals change their role every few years. – Are you creating authentic recruitment content that meets the candidate’s expectations – including your company culture?
People are 3x more likely to trust employees than CEOs/leadership. – Today trust is as scarce as attention, how does your recruitment content stand out?
It is video that can really bring out the human connection your audience craves.
The results can be staggering. Did you know that job posts get up to 35% more applications if accompanied by a recruiting video? It is proven that viewers retain 95% of a message they watch on video, compared to 10% when reading.
However, creating video might seem scary, time-consuming and costly at times but there’s ways to work around it by using the resources already at hand – your people. Transform your employees into your own mobile film crew.
How? Get inspired by companies like EY, HSBC and Amazon on how they bring their culture to life through employee-led video to attract the right talent globally.
