There are two mediums that should be used by every company who is recruiting. They are both great ways of communicating with both internal and external job seekers.
But for some reason many companies still seem reluctant to get involved in them. And with all the technology around these days, it isn't cost that should be an issue.
What recruiting companies fail to realise, is that job seekers like to watch videos of the workplace, the staff and different projects. It allows them to instantly get a picture of what it would be like to work there.

Audio, via podcasts, is also a brilliant way of presenting information such as jobs in a more appealing way. In the US there is a company called Jobs in Pods, that have really shown how well this can be achieved.
After all, isn't it more interesting to listen to someone explaining about a job, rather than just reading a job description?

So has your company taken the plunge and started encouraging new job seekers with video or audio?

Why not make it a project for some of your staff?

It would be great to see some examples of company video's and podcasts.
