Flipagram, 1secondeveryday, hyperlapse, thunderclap = great, free employer branding tools shared by @DearKat #HRTechWorld on iRecruit stage

.@DearKat's target candidates love non-glossy content, DIY style, videos that look like employees made it themselves. #iRecruit #HRTechWorld

Deep budget cuts forced Kathryn Collier and her team to look for new ways to make compelling in-house content on the cheap. They used tools like 1 Second Everyday and Hyperlapse (see full list in tweets above) to cut through the social noise and capture a hyperconnected audience. And guess what? It worked. Their data shows that their DIY content performed much better than their glossy, agency-produced content.
International hiring tips to try tomorrow

Love this concept from @Goodgamestudios "On-boarding starts at the 1st interview" #HRTechWorld

Germany’s Goodgame Studios are pros at international hiring. They recruit from 67 nations around the world and frequently hire recruiters who can pitch candidates in their own language. In addition, their hiring team gets certified sourcing training. Finally, thorough onboarding helps new team members hit the ground running. Their onboarding starts from the very first interview and goes on for at least three months. There’s even an item on the list for “special task force,” which those of you who actually do onboarding may find especially relatable.
We got Shingy’ed

Shingy once billed himself as a “Digital Prophet,” and while that sounds a little wacky to us, it remains true that HR has much to learn from marketing and advertising. Heads up, HR: Today’s consumers need to be wooed. They’re brand-agnostic, hate advertising, but love a good story. Geico gets it. There’s a massive logo on their commercial, but who cares? We’ll watch all the way because of the dog. Modern consumers also content-creators themselves.To get their attention (and as Shingy says, “attention is currency”), the content you create for your brand should be easy to find, share, or remix as they see fit.
And that’s a wrap for #HRTechWorld. How did you find the conference? Any comments, questions, corrections? (Raves?) Talk to us at @workable.
