Will leadership content help us hire?

It can help, and recruiting is one of the jobs it is built for. Candidates research a business before they apply, and short videos of the founder and leaders show them who they would work for, how decisions get made and what the place values. It does not replace fair pay or a good workplace, but it gives the right people a reason to look closer.

What candidates are trying to find out

Who will I report to. Is the culture on the careers page real. Will I learn anything here. A job ad cannot answer those questions. A leader talking plainly on camera goes a long way towards it.

The leader matters more than the logo

People join a manager as much as a company. In a franchise group, a clinic network or a firm, that is often the location lead or the partner, not the founder. That is why personal branding for leadership teams puts several leaders on camera, not only one.

What hiring content looks like

How a leader trains new people. Why they joined. A mistake they made early and what they learned. What a normal week in the role involves. These topics are planned in strategy and scripted from the prep conversation, then filmed in one batched filming day alongside the content aimed at clients. If you are worried about the time, see how much time a CEO needs to give.

What it will not do

It will not fix pay, rosters or a culture people are leaving. Content amplifies what is already there, so if the workplace is the problem, start there. We would rather say that than sell you content that is not your bottleneck. See our services for what we do.

Common questions

Is this the same as employer branding?

It overlaps, but it is made by your leaders on camera rather than a polished corporate video. Candidates hear from the actual people they would work with.

Should hiring content be separate from sales content?

Usually not. The same leaders post both, and a video that earns a client's trust also tells a candidate what you are like to work with.

How do we know if it is working for hiring?

Ask applicants and new starters where they first came across you, and record it in your hiring process. That gives you an honest read over time.

Does it suit multi-location businesses?

That is who the leadership team offer is built for. Each location lead can become a recognisable face for their area. See can my whole leadership team do this.
