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.

Fostering engagement in your workforce is critical to the success of your business. According to Gallup research, 87% of employees worldwide are not engaged and the same study states that companies with highly engaged workforces outperform their peers by 147%.

So how can you boost employee engagement? And why should your organisation use video to do so?

Pat yourself on the back! You’ve planned, recorded and edited a shiny new video job ad, now what? How do you ensure that the brilliant (go on, you can say it), engaging and entertaining video you laboured over gets in front of your ideal candidate?
