Given its effectiveness in reaching passive candidates, video ads in recruitment are growing in popularity. Having your recruitment video go “viral,” however, is not very likely. So how can you get your video out there in front of the talent you want to attract? Well, you could try video advertising on YouTube, LinkedIn and/or Facebook for starters.
YouTube is one of the most popular websites in the world, with over 1 billion unique monthly users, on average. As you would imagine, that presents a fantastic opportunity to get in front of quality candidates. YouTube also offers multiple placement options for your recruitment video - you can learn more about YouTube video ads for recruitment here.
With its insanely high volume of traffic (200M+ visitors / month) and unique targeting options, Facebook advertising for recruitment is a very popular choice among recruiters. As a marketing channel or medium, Facebook makes it easy for recruitment advertisers to get in front of passive candidates and grab their attention. More info on Facebook recruitment video ads here.
As the most popular professional networking website in the U.S., LinkedIn continues to be an excellent medium for recruiting quality candidates. Recently, LinkedIn video advertising launched on their self-service ads platform. Placement options, however, are still rather limited compared to other video advertising mediums.
Video ads can be shown alongside other ads on profile pages, home pages, search results pages, and/or group pages.
