Below is a Staff Profile video that we made for Kane Constructions. It helps to give potential candidates an idea of what it would be like to work at Kane. And educates them about the culture of the business, and the scale and type of projects they work on:
What is a Recruitment Video?
People and Culture Departments use Recruitment Videos to attract potential candidates to apply for a job or to join the organisation. These videos showcase the culture, values, and work environment of the organisation. They may also highlight the benefits and opportunities that are available to employees. These type of video productions can be a useful tool for organisations to reach a wider pool of potential candidates, as they can be easily shared on Social Media and other online platforms. They can also be a helpful way for candidates to get a better sense of what it would be like to work for the organisation before they apply.
Here’s an example of this type of video that we produced for the HR Department at Fulton Hogan. It helps to show the culture of the business, and what it would be like to work there:
