When searching for a new job, or entering a new stage of their career, candidates aren’t just looking to check a box on location, industry, and salary. They need to know—really believe—that the choice they are making is a good fit. That the company will prioritize what’s important to the candidate, as well as to the business. That there’s an appropriate way to grow in the role and move upward in the organization. And most important, that the company “gets it.”
But what will compel these candidates? How can recruiters ensure that a candidate feels great about culture, and also about the job functions? The answer is video.
