Looking for a new way to attract talent to your organization? Follow P Diddy’s lead and turn to YouTube.
So far Diddy has received over 10,000 applicants who have all responded via a taped video that is then uploaded to YouTube. Want the job? Be sure to follow these guidelines:
1. Upload your video interview to YouTube and sell yourself
2. Keep it to 3 minutes or less
3. Tag it as “diddy assistant”
So what are the benefits of this?
Get people who are familair with new technology. Would he really want someone as his assistant who can’t make a simple video and upload it?
Exposure to a massive amount of people and weed out unqualified applicants quickly. First impressions are everything…
Your employees will see that you think outside of the box – and you will attract people who also do.
Potential job hunters – get those video resumes ready as we are going to see more and more employers try things like this in the future.
