Looking into the World of Online Videos for Marketing & Recruiting…and other stuff.
This video is about working at Agilent…and really says nothing at all. Furthermore, it is too long – 6 minutes and 33 seconds. It should have been at least 2 videos, not one. Nothing was said about what it is like to work for Agilent the first three and a half minutes…it was all the typical jargon (it is a place to grow, premiere company, creative corporation, etc.) that everyone else says as well and statistics and facts about the company (which really does not tell me about them or how it is to work for them).
Also, they are not taking advantage of the social networking and community aspect of YouTube. They allowed comments and such, and the video has 1 rating of 1 star. The first comment on this video starts, “Agilent is probably one of the most dysfunctional companies I’ve worked for.” The second comment starts, “I used to work for one of those acquisitions. Dysfunctional is way too gracious? of a description.” So I find out they are dysfunctional and mismanaged. Do I want to go and apply now? NO! When the video says “we are doing things the right way” and you read the comments…you definitely feel that the video is not honest.
A blog written by a Minnesota Recruiter and Video Producer about marketing, social media, online video production, recruiting, and some about what I'm doing in life. Professionally, I am very interested in online videos for businesses marketing their products & services, and videos for recruiting for their open positions.
