Marketing is excited to offer a Video Job Description ticket in Freshservice starting now! As we get into 2020, it only becomes more and more imperative that video is added to the toolbox of our recruiters, and marketing efforts on social media. Studies show that video recruiting results in 66% more qualified leads per year, and generates 50% more applicants per ad. By adding video to your social media strategy, you increase your shares per post by 1200% and website visits by 150%. These statistics are staggering, and truthfully, unignorable. It is time to start taking advantage of the tool of video recruiting in 2020, and marketing is here to help make that possible.
With this offering, there is some flexibility when it comes to the style of video that marketing can produce for you. You can produce a more standard style of video that is meant to describe a specific position itself. From there, you can go down 3 different avenues.
Video Job Post - These videos take the shortest time to create and publish. Using text and images, they highlight key points of the job such as pay, hours, location, and qualifications.
Recruiter Video - Features the recruiter speaking about the position, giving the viewer a more credible feel.
Onsite Video - Features the client company itself. These videos take a longer time to produce, but give them a chance to see the actual place they will be working, and the people they will be working with and for.
Culture Video - These videos take the longest time to produce, but are great for large clients who have several openings and a great culture and facility to showcase.
It is marketing’s goal to make this video offering as simple for you as possible. As mentioned, you start the process by entering a Freshservice ticket. In the ticket, you get to choose the style of video you would like and give us some basic details that we need to get the process underway. If you select a Video Job, marketing has everything that we need to produce your video from the ticket alone. If you would like to produce a Recruiter or Onsite video, you will receive a document that gives you further instructions on what videos we need you to gather for us before we can begin to produce.
We strongly encourage you to not be intimidated by these types of video because of the work on your end. The guide is easy to follow and can be a very quick process. These videos do require more work, but they will yield a greater reward in the end. Once you have gotten marketing all the information and videos that we need to produce, we will take it from there and get back to you with a completed product that is ready for your social media!
