VideoMyJob took video job advertising global over September and October! Our team attended events all around the world, networked with industry leaders and clients, and we won an award! Read on for a wrap up of our travels from Fiji, Singapore, and the USA.
Fiji: The RCSA Conference
From the moment we touched down in Fiji, we knew the RCSA International Conference was going to be a great time.
With a stunning location full of friendly faces, the conference kicked off with a welcome cocktail (does it get any better than that?). The theme of the reception 'The Power of Community' rang true as we had great discussions with hundreds of recruitment consultants, business owners, and speakers.
Highlights:
- The three days of workshops were fantastic; the entrepreneurial spirit and passion was inspiring to be a part of, and conversations around the future of the industry were positive and exciting.
- David Macciocca, our CEO and co-founder, gave a presentation on employee value proposition and video recruitment.
- On our stand we gave product demos to over 300 attendees! It was awesome to create videos with people using our app.
- We loved seeing the photos from the conference. Hot tip: Search the hashtags #RCSAConf and #ThePowerOfCommunity across social media.
Singapore: Global Recruiter Awards
We had such a great night surrounded by other outstanding industry leaders, and were absolutely thrilled to be recognised for bringing a new product to market that transforms the recruitment process with video job advertising.
Highlights:
- Read more about winning at the Global Recruiter Awards.
- We signed up some exciting new clients; a big warm welcome to GSK, F5 and Singtel.
VMJ goes Stateside
It's safe to say the team was pumped to showcase the VMJ app at our next stop, the USA, post the Global Recruiter win.
Las Vegas, Nevada: The HR Tech Conference
The HR Tech Conference is one of the best opportunities in the recruitment industry to network and learn about the latest developments for customer and employee engagement.

Boston
Continuing the USA tour, David (CEO and co-founder) and Chris (VP of Engineering) flew across the country to Boston.
