# How to attract top talent with recruitment videos

**In [Inbound Recruiting](https://inbound.lasuperagence.com/inbound-recruiting-guide-definition), (quality) recruiting videos** are considered the most effective content for attracting **the best talent!** 

Currently, video, whether filmed or in motion design is one of the best ways to present a company's employer brand to potential employees.

We deliver the keys to creating a high-quality recruitment video.

## Video is king (also) in recruitment

Boosted by the upcoming arrival of 5G, video content consumption will account for **by 2022, 82% of Internet traffic** (by data quantity).

The **dramatic growth of online video** will have a significant impact on many **industries** and **recruitment** will be no exception.

With the Internet becoming increasingly dominated by the video format,  **recruiters**  will need to use  **video** to **attract the best talent**.

Leading companies are already using video in their recruitment efforts - here are two great [examples of recruitment videos](https://www.talentlyft.com/en/blog/article/234/top-10-recruitment-videos-of-all-time).

 

 

##### **Why is this good?**

30 seconds. Not a word. Just one scene. Pure emotion. What more can be said?

 

 

##### **Why is this good?**

This video is brilliant because it is completely **authentic**. All the images in this video were captured on a smartphone on the same day. And all of the responses are unscripted. It's so simple - but brilliant!

**The use of video in recruitment** has quickly become one of the most important marketing strategies in recruitment.

## Why use recruitment videos ?

There are many reasons to use videos in recruitment.

Here are the **3 main reasons** why you should consider using videos in your recruitment strategy :

![video_1](https://inbound.lasuperagence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/video_1.png?width=1754&name=video_1.png)

### Season 1 : Improve your ads

The number is dead on: ads with a **video** have a **higher application rate** of 34%. In other words, you increase your recruiting efficiency by a third with this format, which is huge!

Why? Unlike **traditional** job postings, video gives employers the opportunity to tell a **engaging** story (a [storytelling](https://inbound.lasuperagence.com/blog/curiosity-inbound-marketing)) that humanizes their organization and promotes their corporate culture.

In addition, videos are more **instructive** than text since they allow candidates to get a **true** perspective of the company from the inside, something that even the best job descriptions fail to convey.

![video_2](https://inbound.lasuperagence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/video_2.png?width=1754&name=video_2.png)

### Season 2 : Attracting younger candidates 

Several studies have shown that using video is a particularly effective tactic for attracting younger candidates.

Also according to CareerBuilder, when given a choice between a **identical** video and article, Millennials are **four times more likely** to watch the **video** than read the article.

This is important because by 2030, **Millennials** will represent **75% of the global workforce.**

### Reason 3 : Adopt a mobile-first strategy  

Using video is also a way to prepare for the **future**, with a **mobile first** strategy.

Being mobile first is essential given that **82% of candidates** search for jobs on their **mobile**.

Video is the rising star of **mobile content** and it is estimated that video will account for as much as **87% of mobile traffic** by the end of 2021.

## The most commonly used recruitment video formats

If you are **new** to recruitment videos and want to **incorporate** them into your recruiting tools, there are **several options** that you can keep in mind.

The most common formats for recruitment videos include :

![video_3](https://inbound.lasuperagence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/video_3.png?width=1754&name=video_3.png)

#### **     Employee interviews**

Many **companies** opt for **employee interviews** as a great way to **speak** the best aspects of your company culture in a more **personal** way.

1. #### **Virtual office tour**

Another classic format is the **virtual office tour**. This format is particularly used by companies that believe their **work environment** is the greatest asset of their [Employee Value Proposition](https://inbound.lasuperagence.com/blog/how-to-build-a-virtual-office-tour-in-5-steps) (EVP).

1. #### **Live my life**

A video in the **" Vis ma vie "**style will give candidates a better idea of the **day-to-day roles and responsibilities** of a position or job. It is also a great way to **subtly** showcase your company culture as well as your environment in a **authentic** and natural way.

1. #### **Introduction**

These videos take a more **general** approach, and as such are more suited to establishing your **employer brand** than promoting a position. These videos aim to provide a **convincing** overview of the company and its **ambitions**.

## How to create an effective recruitment video ?

As with any video marketing tactic, **strategy** is the most important thing when creating a recruitment video.

Before you break out your camera, identify your **objectives** and your **target**, then consider your resources (time, equipment, capabilities and budget) and work from there.

**Storytelling**  and **creativity**  are also paramount. You need to make sure your target will be **interested**  enough to follow through with the video and make them **envy** to send in their application.

Feel free to **experiment**, just make sure the end result is **consistent** with your strategy and **consistent** with your brand. 

If time and budget allow, also consider creating **several** versions of the video **adapted** for different types of positions.

A more **personalized** approach will help increase engagement and boost application rates.

## How to maximize the value of your recruitment video ?

**Producing** a recruitment video takes a lot of time and effort. There are several things you should do to **maximize** your investment. First, be careful to include your **brand** clearly throughout the video.

Then insert a **call-to-action**, such as a link to a web page, form or email, so people can submit their application with a **simple click**.

Finally, **measure** all metrics (number of views, engagement, click-through rate and abandonment rate) so you can judge the **effectiveness** of your video and make **changes** if necessary.

## Rules for creating a quality recruitment video

There are some **basic rules** related to recruitment videos that you should always try to follow. First, **plan** all the **details** and have a clear strategy for **production, promotion and measuring your results**.

When it comes to **content**, be sure to communicate all the key points but keep your video **short** (less than 2 minutes ideally) and **easy** to understand (so avoid using jargon).

Finally, respect the **rights** of your current employees when filming : don't **force** someone to appear in the video if they don't want to.

[![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1753382/17bc554f-42a5-4b64-b673-ec5ba6afb859.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1753382/17bc554f-42a5-4b64-b673-ec5ba6afb859)

## Should you hire professionals ?

If your **budget** allows, **hire a team** to ensure the quality of the video shoot and post-production. This is an **ideal** option for companies that don't have the **time, human resources or expertise** to create the video in-house.

This option may seem a bit more **expensive**, however, the costs are offset by the benefits of having **a team of experts** who bring a diversity of skills to ensure your recruitment video is the best it can be.

Finally, if you don't have the **means** to hire a professional, don't worry : you can do it **yourself**. " **home**" videos can also have a lot of impact.
