Video, whether for resumes or jobs, is getting more and more and more play these days.
As more and more video sites popped up, it was only a matter of time until a more vertically integrated service model came along, and it has in the guise of Brightcove.com .
Brightcove has two major functions : helping publishers of video, and helping with video search. That's pretty nifty in its own right.
But they have larger aspirations about being a key partner in the distribution of video across the spectrum. Video-on-demand has been a buzzword for a long time, but we may actually be getting there, we just need the hardware .
What has this got to do with recruitment and assessment? Plenty. Imagine:
- The ability for candidates to download recruitment material, including realistic job previews, to their TV.
- The ability for candidates to easily upload video resumes to organizations.
- The ability to stream material, like practice tests, to individuals that have applied for specific jobs.
And this is just the beginning, and just from my not-so-creative brain. Video is not going away and it's up to organizations to figure out how to take advantage of these technologies to connect with and attract talented individuals.
