While traditional advertising is one way to accomplish this, and job boards certainly have a place in the healthcare recruitment realm, recruiting in our sector is very dynamic. The video profile offered by JobCircle provides yet another method for sharing information with prospective employees. The value is great (less than a typical ad in almost any newspaper) and I was very pleased with the production process and the final outcome. Using JobCircle is easy in that they did all the heavy lifting and produced a video profile that I am pleased with. Although it is difficult to measure ROI at this point, the investment was so small that we could not pass up the opportunity to add to our arsenal of recruitment tools! JobCircle does an amazing job and we will continue to work them them and explore new ways of attracting talent!

Even though the scripted corporate language might be useless to a seeker, many times a quick glimpse into the company's office and its employees is enough to decide that a company is/is not for them.

Joe's a smart guy, I'm excited to see this new stream evolve in the next 12 months.

Although the production value is good, I don't see any value for the job seeker when it comes to viewing them. Most job seekers will just see through the scripted corporate language. Today's job seeker is looking for more inside information about a company than whatever they can find on their website. I checked out a few of their samples.
