Recruitment is one of the most critical aspects of every company, yet it can often be a long and challenging process. Sorting through printed CVs and conducting phone interviews can take weeks or even months. Despite this investment of time and effort, there’s always a risk of hiring candidates whose skills or personal attributes don’t align with the job profile or corporate culture—or worse, losing the ideal candidate because the process takes too long.
Inspiring Interns, the UK’s leading graduate marketing agency, is revolutionizing the recruitment process through the use of online video. With their innovative video CVs, the candidate search is reduced from weeks to mere days. A traditional printed CV takes two to four minutes to read and provides little insight into an applicant’s personality. In contrast, a video CV lasts about a minute, and employers can often form a sufficient impression within just 12 seconds.
With an 85% retention rate, Inspiring Interns has become the go-to solution for more than 2,000 companies looking to streamline their recruitment efforts.
THE INSPIRING INTERNS PROCESS
- Create video CVs: Candidates record their unique video CVs using a laptop, tablet, or mobile device.
- Publish and distribute: Inspiring Interns leverages Brightcove to publish the video CVs on its website, social media platforms, and email marketing campaigns.
- Promote candidates: The company highlights top candidates through a “Candidate of the Day” feature on LinkedIn and shares links to video CVs on Facebook.
This innovative approach not only accelerates the recruitment process but also ensures better matches between candidates and positions. The video CV allows Inspiring Interns to connect the right candidate with the right role more effectively and efficiently.
