Logofinalsmall Yes it’s another blatant plug for VlogYourJob, but if I can’t put one here then where can I?  Neville Hobson has interviewed Steve Mallison-Jones about our new job board on FIR.  Check it out!

The Good, the not so bad and the ugly

With the launch of VlogYourJob just around the corner, I’ve been scouring the net for recruitment videos already online, and these are the ones I had to share!

The Good:
Connected Ventures put this online and had over 4 millions views, which resulted in countless CVs

Lip Dub – Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri and Vimeo.

The Not So Bad:
Google.  A little long and very American, but not bad!

The Ugly:
Ernst & Young (in 2001 admittadly)…. I cringed and cringed and cringed….

VlogYourJob goes live!!

Here at Indigo Red, we’re passionate about being innovative.   Speak to any recruiter, in almost any industry, and they will tell you that finding great candidates is the hardest part of their job and it takes every trick in the book to find the right people to fill the job.

Well, we agree!  It’s a candidate short market and we’re always keen to explore new avenues to find new talent.

VlogYourJob is a new recruitment tool which allows candidates to see employers talking about the jobs they are recruiting for – in a video clip.  No more boring A4 job specs and job ads that all sound the same.  It’s a fantastic way to differentiate yourself as an employer and stand out in the recruitment market.  It’s also a great little marketing tool – and it’s not going to cost you an arm and a leg.

Anyway, enough of the sales pitch from me, you can see our MD talking about it here:

Are you blogging this?

After last night’s session on consumer techie blogs my head is full of social media again.  Anyway, it seemed a good a time as any to post this.  It made me laugh.

Vlogging

On Tuesdays, I work from home.  This means I don’t spend 3 hours of the day in my car (hurrah!) and getting work done in a quiet, uninterupted environment – unless you count the cats fighting for space on my lap.  My boss is convinced that I spend every Tuesday in the pub, but my local doesn’t move with the times enough to have a wifi broadband connection so alas, I’m sat at my dining room table with my laptop and a pile of paper. 

It’s a great place for me to work on my latest projects – all will be revealed soon – which has resulted in me spending hours trawling through the internet looking at how social media has been used for marketing initiatives and recruitment solutions.  I’ve seen some really really bad examples, and some really really good ones, but this in particular made me smile:

Well done Focus PR!  Engaging and light hearted, eyecatching vlogging at it’s best.
