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



Screen Queensland: Chief Executive Officer

Screen Queensland is a Government-owned company that has been established in the state for 26 years and sits within the portfolio of the Premier of Queensland and Minister for Trade. Screen Queensland invests in the Queensland screen industry, attracts production including post, digital and visual effects to the state and supports screen culture activities for all Queenslanders.

Queensland Music Festival: Executive Director

Queensland Music Festival (QMF) offers Queenslanders the chance to hear and be heard, with a rich tapestry of musical experiences designed to uncover and empower young musicians, create world-class music in regional communities, and shed light on current social issues.

The Department of Environment & Science: Executive Director, Science Strategy and Partnerships

The Department of Environment and Science (DES) recognises the enormous value a clean environment, innovative society and economy, and vibrant culture makes to Queenslanders’ lives. As a diverse organisation, the department brings together environment, heritage protection, national parks, science and arts functions to help achieve government objectives for a better Queensland.

Executive Career Transition Support for a Senior Executive Employee Following Organisational Change

By Gerard Kerr • October 9, 2026
Executive Career Transition Support Following Organisational Change Organisational change can create uncertainty for employees, particularly for experienced professionals navigating a significant career transition after many years within the same organisation. When a Queensland Government agency needed confidential, one-on-one career transition support for a senior executive employee, they engaged Kingston Human Capital to deliver a personalised program focused on career planning, professional positioning and future employment preparedness. Through a tailored career transition program, Kingston Human Capital provided executive coaching, career planning, professional branding support, resume development, LinkedIn optimisation, interview preparation and practical job-search guidance. The support was designed to adapt to the participant’s evolving needs while remaining aligned with their experience, aspirations and preferred career pathway. The program helped the participant develop a clear career transition strategy, strengthen their professional profile and approach future opportunities with greater confidence. This case study demonstrates how personalised career transition support can assist professionals during periods of organisational change while providing practical guidance for the next stage of their career journey.
