Video Resumes Revolutionize the Recruitment Industry

Merger of West Hollywood Video Production Company with Executive Search Firm

Corp Shorts Video Productions in West Hollywood and Executive Search Firm, Sadovnick Partners Inc., have merged resources to combine their 20 years of experience each in video production and recruitment, to provide a demand for online corporate video branding and video resumes. Corp Shorts is the first video production company to merge with a recruitment firm to deliver these new and emerging video products that will revolutionize the recruitment industry.

CEO of Corp Shorts, Mark Sadovnick is delighted at the merger.

With business moving increasingly online in the recruiting sector, it makes sense to develop online recruiting tools that enable recruitment and search firms , as well as corporate management (CEO's, Chief HR officers, and others) to brand themselves more visibly and have access to attract the best and brightest talent in the world. Corp Shorts exists to facilitate this goal effectively for corporations, recruiting professionals and top college graduates by developing and harnessing new online technologies, said Sadovnick.

COO of Corp Shorts, Catherine Gray is also enthusiastic about the possibilities that the new company has to offer the corporate sector using video.

With the relevancy of video broadcast capability via the internet and onto mobile phones, Corp Shorts is a logical company merger that utilizes high quality video production values to its best advantage to grow business more rapidly within the corporate and recruiting sectors. There is nothing more powerful then a corporate video profile that showcases a company's unique point of difference on their website. It increases traffic to a company's website substantially in an age where video visibility now equates to business credibility, said Gray.

Already, Corp Shorts is proving to be an innovative company for the corporate world. The company is developing ZoomREZ, a business networking community site on the web, that specifically enables graduates of top colleges and universities to upload their professional video resume produced by Corp Shorts. Recruiting professionals and companies who subscribe to Corp Shorts' website service can access the top graduates who are seeking career opportunities, while also video profiling their own organization's people, environment, products and brand power. Sadovnick and Gray will be keynote speakers, showcasing ZoomREZ' innovative development around online video resumes in Chicago at the OnREC Expo this Wednesday 10th September, 2008 at 3.45pm at The West Room, Donald E. Stephens Convention Centre.

The benefits of Corp Shorts video resumes for the recruiting industry are many.

Video resumes not only provide a green solution and a technological advancement in recruitment, but they offer a better way for hiring managers and HR departments to choose the best candidates and not let them slip through the cracks, like was often the case with paper resumes, states Sadovnick.

Gray likes the personable approach to video resumes ability to accurately convey the human aspect of what a job applicant has to offer a corporation.

It's rewarding to harness video and new technologies to accurately connect emerging people of great potential to communities and corporations of other business minded people. It's all about connecting good people in business to the right corporations in a real and powerful way. Candidates are no longer a piece of paper, but a voice and a face and a personality. said Gray.

Joseph Daniel McCool, columnist and consultant of BusinessWeek Online, who according to SoundView authored one of the 30 best biz books of 2008, titled ëDeciding Who Leads,' sees Corp Shorts' online video products and services for the corporate sector as being vital to the recruitment industry.

ìAs senior management recruiters influence everything from compensation, workplace diversity, high-profile CEO succession, and business management to the very definition of leadership itself, a tool like ZoomREZ that utilizes high quality, corporate video is incredibly powerful, said McCool.

With something as groundbreaking as ZoomREZ, I see the potential in helping business and recruiting leaders to make wiser decisions when deciding and positioning the leaders of tomorrow more strategically into the future growth and life of robust corporations and companies,î said McCool.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, with growing operations nationwide including in Florida, NYC and Chicago, Corp Shorts will launch the website service this November, 2008.
