Video Marketing for Talent Teams

In the first episode of Impact at Work, Eva Brookes, Strengths Practitioner, joins hosts David Macciocca and Jo Vohland to explore how real workplace impact begins with self-awareness.

A certified strengths practitioner and experienced global talent leader, Eva shares her belief that true impact doesn’t come from volume or speed. It starts when individuals understand what energises them and how to apply that knowledge meaningfully in their role, team, and career.

In her recent keynote, hosted by VideoMyJob and GradConnection, AMP’s Brie Mason reveals why recruiters must stop waiting and start creating content that connects with graduate talent.

If a Gen Z candidate looked at your careers website or LinkedIn presence right now, would they be compelled to hit apply? Would they feel like your brand truly sees them and gets them? If you’re hesitating on that answer, you’re not alone – but you’re also missing a crucial opportunity.

That’s the challenge Brie Mason, employer branding expert with 18 years’ experience, posed to talent acquisition professionals. Having worked across organisations from Telstra to AMP Bank, Brie argues that employer branding isn’t just nice-to-have anymore – it’s absolutely essential for attracting Gen Z talent.

The financial services industry faces a perfect storm of talent challenges in 2025. From competing for scarce cybersecurity experts to attracting younger professionals who question traditional banking culture, financial institutions are finding that their reputation alone isn’t enough to win top talent. 

Enter employee-generated video content, a powerful tool that’s helping forward-thinking financial services brands showcase their authentic culture, build trust with candidates, and differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive talent market.

In graduate recruitment, trust and visibility aren't built overnight. In Episode 43 of the VMJPod Graduate Recruitment Series, Natalie Gibbons, Graduate Programs Manager at Westpac, shares how she’s progressed from program coordinator to strategic leader, earning a seat at the table by owning the entire graduate journey.

With nearly 140 grads welcomed into 18 national programs each year, Natalie opens up about the systems, relationships, and mindset shifts that helped her turn a high-volume program into a respected, business-aligned function.

For early talent professionals looking to increase their influence, Natalie’s story offers a clear view of what it really takes to lead, not just manage.

With ongoing skills shortages, rising burnout and shifting expectations, the veterinary industry is facing big challenges. Clinics are busy, teams are stretched, and it can be tough to find the time, let alone the right way, to showcase your employer brand.

Yet some vet organisations are cutting through the noise. They are using video to reconnect with their people, attract purpose-driven candidates and show what truly sets their culture apart.

And here’s the best part: you don’t need a big budget or production crew to make it work.

In this blog, we’ll explore how veterinary brands are using authentic video storytelling to reach the right people, highlight real employee experiences and celebrate the impact of the profession, one story at a time.

In graduate recruitment, momentum doesn’t come from a single campaign — it’s built over time through trust, clarity, and the right systems behind the scenes. In Episode 42 of the VMJPod Graduate Recruitment Series, Kelly Pfeffer, Graduate Talent Lead at Suncorp, shares how she’s approached this long game with over 10,000 annual applicants, business-wide coordination, and a deep respect for early talent.

Whether you’re launching a new program or refining a mature one, Kelly offers tactical advice and timeless mindset shifts for building a graduate hiring engine that lasts.
