Jamie O'Keeffe • Nov 14, 2023

Company Careers Pages. Most companies have one. Some see it as a matter of simply posting jobs available whilst others understand the true value of this page in terms of educating and engaging with potential candidates.


So how can your Careers Page increase your company’s profitability?


Simple, when done right your Careers Page can do the following:

·      Gain Higher quality candidates to apply (shifting your performance gauge)

·      Find the right candidates that fit your company culture

·      Minimise staff turnover

·      Fast track performance ramp for new employees


Today’s workforce want to know all about a company before they apply for a role. Areas such as a company’s work /home flexibility, diversity, equity & inclusion, rewards and recognition and overall employee value proposition need to be readily available to educate a company’s target audience.


"CONTENT IS KING"

Bill Gates (1996)

In today’s digital age, where attention spans are fleeting and information overload is the norm, companies must find innovative ways to engage with potential candidates. One such powerful tool that has gained significant traction in recent years is video content. Your brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text and so it is imperative to make your companies career page come ‘alive’ with visual content.


There are 7 reasons why video content is crucial for a company’s career page and how it can significantly impact on the recruitment process for the better.


1.    Humanize the Company

Video content provides a unique opportunity to showcase the human side of a company. Through video content, companies can introduce team members, highlight their diverse talents and present the company culture authentically. Potential employees get a glimpse into the day-to-day workings of the organisation, creating a sense of belonging and builds trust in the company even before they apply.



2.    Engaging and Memorable

Visual and auditory elements make video a highly engaging medium. A well created video can convey a company’s mission, vision & values as well as their employee value proposition more effectively. Videos are more likely to be remembered compared to standard text which enables your company to stand out in the minds of potential candidates.



3.    Showcasing Company Culture

Company culture plays a pivotal role in attracting the right talent. Videos can provide an insider’s view of the workplace, allowing prospective employees to gain a clear understanding of the work atmosphere, team dynamics and core values. This transparency

helps candidates to assess if they align to your company’s culture even before they apply which in turn leads to more suitable long-term hires.



4.    Demonstrating Opportunities for Career Growth

Video content on your Careers Page also enables your company to showcase the varying career paths and growth opportunities within your organisation. Staff testimonial videos discussing their career path/journey highlight the company’s focus and commitment to employee development and advancement.



5.    Enhance Your Company Branding

Your company essentially has two brand messages, one you promote to your clients (both current and potential) and the second is your brand message to current and future employees. Building a strong employer brand is a magnet for top talent and naturally you want the best to want to work for you. Compelling videos can highlight awards, achievements, social responsibilities and commitments highlighting that your company is not just a workplace but a community that contributes positively to society.



6.    Improve SEO and Online Visibility

Search engines prioritize video content, and websites with videos are more likely to rank higher in search results. By incorporating videos on the career page, companies can enhance their online visibility. This increased visibility can attract more high-quality candidates, ensuring a diverse pool of applicants for every job opening.



7.    Speak to Modern Job Seekers

If you are actively speaking to Millennials and Generation Z, there preference of consuming information is through videos. A company that invests in video content demonstrates its willingness to adapt to modern communication preferences, making it more appealing to modern job seekers.


Making your company’s career page with video content is not merely a ‘nice thing to have’, It’s a strategic investment in transforming the recruitment process. By humanizing the company, engaging with potential candidates (possibly even before roles are available), educating the target audience about your company’s culture, workforce flexibility and overall employee value proposition will increase your companies profit by giving you higher quality candidates, minimise churn and fast track the recruitment process.

As we are hurtling towards the new financial year, we begin to lay the groundwork on next year’s targets and strategies for continued growth. With this in mind, in todays competitive job market it is more important than ever to embed Recruitment Marketing into your ‘people plan’ to help you achieve your goals. Quite often Recruitment Marketing is ignored and overshadowed by grander plans for expansion, innovation, or market domination. However, the true impact of neglecting recruitment marketing in strategic planning is often underestimated, leading to significant costs and missed opportunities for businesses striving to achieve their goals.

In the intricate tapestry of organisational success, one thread stands out above all others: the power of people. Amidst the ever-evolving strategies and shifting landscapes of business, it is the collective spirit and mindset of employees that truly determine an organisation's success and its failure. At the heart of this lies the cultivation of a vibrant company culture—a culture that fosters collaboration, innovation, and a sense of purpose. Critical to understanding the dynamics of organisational culture is examining it through the lens of employees. From their perspective, culture isn't just about catchy slogans, ping pong tables or lofty values; it's about the daily experiences, interactions, and opportunities that shape their professional journey. It's about feeling empowered to voice ideas, challenge norms, and contribute meaningfully to the collective mission. Here at WorkTrybe, with our years of HR experience, we've witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of prioritising the "employee first" approach. By placing the well-being and growth of employees at the forefront, organisations have unlocked new levels of productivity, engagement, and resilience. Through our partnerships with companies, we've observed how a strong culture not only attracts top talent but also retains and nurtures it for long-term success. To delve deeper into these insights and explore real-world examples of culture-driven success, we invite you to tune in to our podcast series, "Trybes that Thrive." In these episodes, we sit down with industry leaders, HR experts, and employees themselves to uncover the secrets to building resilient, high-performing cultures. From sharing best practices to navigating common challenges, each episode offers valuable insights and actionable strategies for fostering a culture that empowers people to thrive. On speaking to Matt Owens , Director at Annexa, his wish was that he could turn back time and focus on the critical thinking through an employees lens 5-6 years ago which he believes would’ve fast tracked his companies growth trajectory earlier. Whilst Tull Roseby , Founder at Absolute Care & Health and Founder & CEO at Dailycare.com.au, believes that by creating a culture within his organisation that people can come into the office everyday, energised to the point where they say ‘Yes, I’ve got this!!', they will continue to be a very successful business. One of the key pillars of cultivating a thriving culture is fostering a culture of continuous learning and critical thinking. When employees are encouraged to question assumptions, explore new perspectives, and challenge the status quo, it creates a fertile ground for innovation and adaptability. By tapping into the diverse talents and insights of their workforce, organisations can stay ahead of the curve and drive sustainable growth. In conclusion, the power of people in shaping organisational culture cannot be overstated. By embracing a holistic "employee first" approach and fostering a culture of continuous learning and critical thinking, organisations can create environments where individuals feel valued, inspired, and equipped to achieve their full potential. As we continue on this journey of organisational evolution, let us remember that it is the collective efforts and shared values of employees that truly drive success in the long run.

After personally experiencing the amazing weekend that is Gather Round in Adelaide last weekend, I had time to reflect (driving 8 hours home gives you plenty of time to reflect) on the phenomenon that is football and its impact on the Australian landscape. As we all know, there are 5 seasons in a year; Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer and 'Footy Season'. Being a passionate football follower since I was 6, I have always said the best day of the year is AFL Grand Final Day (Christmas Day for grownups!) and the worst day of the year is the day after as it's the furthest away from the start of the season. And every week during 'Footy Season' the passionate followers know it's not just about the game of football; it's about the tribes (we call them 'Trybes') that form around each team, creating a rich tapestry of identity, loyalty, and passion. As fans gather round to support their beloved teams, they become part of something larger than themselves—a community bonded by a common cause. Tribalism in AFL runs deep, ingrained in the fabric of Australian culture. From the bustling streets of Melbourne to the remote corners of Western Australia, supporters proudly don their team colours, chant their anthems, and celebrate victories with unwavering energy. But what exactly drives this sense of tribal loyalty?
