Cheezhead Recruiting News and Opinion

Taleo is delving into the world of video to give job seekers and HR professionals a view into the inside world of their clients’ HR practices.

During the past few years, Taleo has been compiling thought leadership videos for clients such as Hyatt, TeleTech and Whirlpool. The videos help those interested in the client’s organization get a look at the hiring process and what working with the company is like.

Jaime Spuhler, PR Specialist with Taleo, said the cost to produce the videos is minimal and that all the necessary video and editing equipment can be found in house. She hopes the videos will not only help prospective employees get an inside look, but also help motivate other HR professionals to implement new ideas.

“The purpose of them is essentially to share and foster best practices in the HR space … anything from ways to motivate staff to helping talent management move just beyond spreadsheets and manila folders,” Spuhler said. “These are stories on innovation, not just a simple HR or recruiting story.”

Spuhler said Taleo plans to continue making the videos and hopes to collaborate with other customers in the future. The company also plans to launch its own online community sometime next year.
