– Interactive Recruitment Video

HireCast is a recruitment video service - promoting a job, location, employer brand or grad scheme - but with built-in interactivity – directly inside the video.

A candidate can navigate and click inside a video - just like a website - creating a bespoke and different experience every time the video is watched.

How does the technology work?

  1. A normal video is linear – you can only start and stop. HireCast video is interactive. You can embed clickable elements such as text, maps, slideshows, images and videos within the video.

  2. For example, when a person in the video is talking about a role, a candidate can click a button and interactively find out more about that person while staying in the video.
  1. Also, when a video talks about training, the candidate can click a button and see an embedded slideshow or information about the training you offer - all within the video.

    The list of uses for the technology is endless. From promoting diversity, showcasing employee stories and providing commute information, to giving examples of training and slideshows of photos of your office, HireCast brings a recruitment story to life like no other solution.
