As a recruitment company, video content can reach your desired audience in a more engaging way than blogs and newsletters. It should be a core tactic in your marketing strategy.

YouTube is the second biggest search engine on the planet, so it’s important your company utilises this platform as a part of your social recruitment efforts. By using YouTube to your advantage, you can show off your brand’s personality to a prospective candidates and clients. Also, embedding a link in the video can bring users to your site and job postings with video icons are viewed 12% more than postings without video.

Advertising on YouTube can generate you leads cost effectively. With YouTube ads, you’ll only be paying a few pence per view on AdWords and you’re only charged for when the viewer watches thirty seconds of the video. So, if you produce regular video content, you can boost the awareness of your brand and make gains on your campaign, all whilst saving time and money.
