If you are interested in what the future of hiring looks like, take a look at the video below. Itís definitely slick, which is not good, but itís not too slick.
If you are even slightly interested in working in Yahoo itís fast paced and keeps your attention. All the people in the video are real, no actors.
It might seem like a big jump for small to medium sized companies but the technology for this has arrived and it is not expensive. Or even particularly hard to set up. It is possible to build the video into every and any page of your company recruitment portal right now, without a huge investment in a recording studio.
On the downside the video is long, much longer than you might expect but still easily downloaded. It will lose some viewers who donít have broadband but in the demographic that Yahoo are looking at that is not such a big problem. In fact the delay time with broadband is such that the word download is superfluous. One click and it starts. Itís like watching television.
This is a great way to build a hiring brand.
