Recruitment Videos: How Queensland Government Leverage Video In Its Executive Recruitment Processes

Kingston Human Capital
Queensland's Leading Government Organisations are leveraging recruitment videos to attract top executive talent.

 

Executive boards are reporting that the traditional approach to executive hiring is delivering disappointing outcomes. Using video and modern forms of mixed media is an incredibly effective way for leading organisations to communicate their unique and authentic offering to the top executive talent market. In fact, 59% of executives agree that if both text and video are available on the same topic, they are more likely to choose video.

Additionally, using video in executive recruitment will increase the amount of applications received, as found in a recent survey by CareerBuilder, which found that job postings with videos have a 34% higher application rate!

 

During 2019 we have worked with a number of leading government organisations to support them in their executive hiring, here are some of our favourite examples:

 

  1. Screen Queensland: Chief Executive Officer
  2. Queensland Music Festival: Executive Director
  3. The Department of Environment & Science: Executive Director, Science Strategy and Partnerships
  4. The Fringe World Impact: Chief Executive Officer
