What is a video introduction?
The video introduction feature gives you the opportunity to stand out from other candidates. In 30 seconds you can communicate your personality to employers quicker and more effectively than just using a CV and cover letter. All you need is access to a webcam and we'll help you through the rest.
Why would I want to apply using a video of myself?
Our research indicates that if you don't see the manager when you hand in your CV for a part-time job, you are very unlikely to be invited in for an interview. A video introduction levels the playing field and allows all applicants to make that crucial first impression on the employer.
Who gets to see my video? Can employers distribute them?
Only registered employers of the jobs you specifically apply for are able to see your video. They must log into our system and view the video directly from our servers. Employers are unable to download and distribute the video and they are removed from our system after a the job posting expires. This ensures your data can only be accessed in the time period relevant to the job you applied for.
