Video Marketing for Talent Teams

VMJPod Grad Recruitment Series | Hosted by David Macciocca and Steven Nield | Special Guest: Kristy Abbott

In today’s evolving job market, recruiting graduate talent demands more than just reviewing academic credentials. Forward-thinking organisations are reimagining their hiring strategies to prioritise skills, potential, and cultural fit over formal qualifications.

In a special six-part VMJPod graduate series, host David Macciocca, CEO of VMJ, and Steve Nield from GHD, dive into the evolving landscape of graduate recruitment with leading voices from the industry.

In the first episode of the series, they sat down with Kristy Abbott, Product Owner for Career Programmes at ANZ, to explore how the bank is leading the charge with a progressive, degree-agnostic hiring strategy. Kristy’s insights offer a compelling look at the future of talent acquisition and deliver practical takeaways for recruiters looking to innovate their approach.

Anglicare WA, a dedicated not-for-profit organisation based in Western Australia, embarked on an innovative journey with the VideoMyJob pilot program to amplify their employee value proposition (EVP).

Through authentic storytelling, the program highlighted the diverse experiences within their workforce to help bridge any potential misconceptions candidates may have had, offering a true representation of who they are as an organisation.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Shani Jarvis, the General Manager of People & Culture at Anglicare WA, on the VMJPod. We delved into their transformative experience with the Pilot Program and how, with a modest investment of both time and resources, they were able to create a powerful library of employee story videos that authentically showcased their company values and culture.

It goes without saying that attracting and retaining top talent is essential for companies looking to stay ahead. 

The single most powerful way to achieve this is through the use of employee story videos.

These videos have the potential to move the needle in recruitment efforts and drive bottom-line results by creating authentic connections with candidates and showcasing the unique value proposition of your company.
