Video is here and it’s here to stay folks! Hopefully you’ve caught onto this already, but if you haven’t yet, I’m letting you know that it’s definitely DEFINITELY here for good! There, it’s been said. Twice. Let’s move forward!

How do you create a memorable first moment, before you even meet someone? For many of us, our LinkedIn profile is what a new colleague, client or connection bases their first impression on. What does your LinkedIn say about you?

Randstad are invested in transforming and redefining the way they connect with clients and candidates. Becoming a trusted human partner in the technology-driven world of work is their ultimate goal and video is now an integral part of their ‘human forward’ toolkit. We caught up with Jeannou van Ogtrop-Stijns, General Manager of Education, to discuss how her division has embraced video and some of the results.

Visionary Managing Director, Mark Smith shares his experience of introducing video job advertising to his recruitment firm and discusses the challenges of implementation, the benefits of creating a video-first culture and the success people2people has seen in the 2 years since investing in VideoMyJob.

I’ve recently been presenting to various audiences around the country on the importance of an employee value proposition as the core of strategic talent acquisition. One of the topics that comes up again and again is our relationship with Marketing and how important it is. Not getting this right is a major friction point for many Talent Acquisition and Recruitment teams (and I am sure for many Marketing teams too).

What is 'native' video? A lot of people are confused by this term, so let’s clear that up straight away. Native video is video that is uploaded to or created on social networks and played in-feed, as opposed to links to videos hosted on external sites. Native video formats are specific to each social platform and are designed to maximise video engagement (i.e. number of views), discovery and distribution.
