The metru Jobvideo is a video-based job advertisement that is created very easily and conveniently with the metru Recruit app. The app helps you to create a professional Jobvideo. In just a few minutes, you can create a high-quality and authentic presentation of your company and the job advertisement. Therefore, using video as a medium in the search for the right candidates is something new. A job advertisement with video is rated better by candidates because they can get a better picture of your company. As a result, such job advertisements receive a significantly higher applicant rate than conventional text-based job advertisements.

First, download the metru Recruit app from the App or Play Store. In a short preparation phase, you determine what content you would like to convey. Use our four guiding questions or access your own content. The questions and answers are recorded via video on your smartphone. We recommend using Jobvideo in conjunction with Job Ad. The optimization is then continued via the app: cutting the recordings, adding a logo to the opener and underlaying the spoken word with sound files. An outro is automatically added to your Jobvideo.

There are a few things you should pay attention to when creating a good smartphone video.

The light
One important point is the light, the lighting. The key recommendation here is: Do not point the smartphone camera into the backlight or against the sun, but always point the camera so that you have the sun behind you. It is best to shoot your video near a window and in daylight.

The location
The surroundings for the video recording are the second important point. Choose a neutral but uncluttered and calm background. A pure white wall as a background is rather unfavorable for the camera, as the automatic lighting of the camera then darkens the person in the foreground considerably.

The camera position
Take your time to find the right recording position. Position your smartphone so that your head is inside the mask that we place on the screen. You can also realize the recording in a team with several colleagues. It is important that you record in landscape format, as the video will later be viewed in landscape format.

The topic of outfits
Business attire that reflects the corporate culture is just right here. We recommend business clothing that you also wear when you have a job interview and present your company. It is better not to wear logos or lettering on your clothing, as they are too distracting.

The sound
Start the job video in a quiet environment. Background noises that are too loud reduce the sound quality and distract from what is being said.

The Internet
Please also pay attention to the internet connection: you need a stable internet connection.Last but not least: Remember that a smile moves mountains.

We have defined four key questions for the presentation of suitable content. The job video begins with an introduction to the company. Briefly and concisely introduce the company presenting the job advertisement.

Then describe the advertised position in detail. Describe the specific tasks a meaningful way.

In the third key question, you are asked to describe the requirements for the applicant.

Finally, in the answer to the fourth key question, the benefits for the candidate should be presented. All the advantages that make your company attractive are listed here.

In general, it is possible to present your content independently of our key questions, though.

You have the rights to your job video and can use it anywhere: You can publish your job video in the job advertisement, in LinkedIn and similar career networks or social networks. The duration of the usage rights is unlimited by us.

Yes, you can repeat the recording as often as required for the desired result to be achieved.

A picture is worth a thousand words. This effect is even more pronounced when a video is used. The medium of video conveys emotions and makes you appear authentic. In addition, the values and corporate culture are brought into focus. The viewer gets a feeling for the company and also for the people who work there. Videos are attractive. Compared to a text, people watch a video much longer and retain a lasting impression.

Recruiting ads with video achieve their high reach via the website and social media channels. The advertising budget remains untouched. In addition, job ads with video have 12% more views than those without video.

Production costs are remarkably low. Because production is simple. Four key questions are recorded via smartphone and answered on video. The metru Recruit app takes care of directing, editing, animation and sound design. The app creates both an opener and an outro and provides you with optimum support during production.

Video-based recruitment advertising conveys an authentic image of the company and the values that employees share. The content is conveyed authentically and honestly. Authentic content is essential, especially in employer branding.

In the Pro package, an individual design according to your CI guidelines is possible. An opener - i.e. the suspenseful arc of the video - is designed according to your corporate identity. The corporate identity can also be integrated into the outro, the end credits of the video. metru also offers the option of storing music in standard variants. In the Pro version, you can even integrate your company's background music.

Jobvideos can be shared by downloading the video file. The video is then freely available to you and can be shared on numerous channels.

You can present the job offer and your company in 4 takes. The 4 takes each have a length of 1:30 minutes. We have defined 4 key questions that serve as a guide.

You select the part of the video that you want to send. By trimming the video, you can eliminate interference at the beginning and end of the recording.

Merging video sequences that were recorded at different times leads to some problems with the settings. The lighting conditions can change without you noticing, a different location is chosen or a part recorded the next day shows you in a different outfit. This can make your application video appear less authentic. The applicant no longer has the impression that you recorded the video in one piece. However, it is much better, if the setting remains the same.

The creation of a job code can be started in the Inactive Products compartment of the job management. The Jobcode is activated after clicking "Actions" and the entry mask for the interview is created. You can enter 1-10 interview questions.

Alternatively, you can also upload the questions as videos or record them directly via the metru Recruit app. Once all the information has been entered, the interview can be checked for errors and then be uploaded. You can then publish the Jobcode. Furthermore a link, a QR code and a 4-digit numerical code are available.

We recommend the use of video questions. They show who is behind the job advertisement, who is behind the company and what culture the company has. The video questions strengthen your employer branding. The candidate gets the feeling of being interviewed authentically and will be happy to answer your questions.

The interview question is initially defined as a text question. Each question can be up to 200 characters long. The videos are freely designed by the company and recorded with the metru Recruit app or uploaded to the website. We recommend a recording time of 20 to 30 seconds per question.

Once a Jobcode has expired, it can be reactivated and used again. Please note that candidates, interviews and video questions will be removed 2 months after the Jobcode expires.

A Jobcode can contain a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 10 questions. Additional questions are possible, if required. You also have the option of welcoming your applicant by way of an onboarding video, briefly introducing yourself and thus ensuring a pleasant start to the video interview.

The interview questions can be changed and adapted at any time.
It should be noted, however, that after the adjustment, all subsequent interviews will be conducted on the basis of the changed questions.

A video question can be recorded and uploaded directly with a smartphone using the metru Recruit app. You also have the option of uploading your videos via the website.

Alternatively, a production teams can also be used for the production of video question. We will be happy to advise you, if required. However, we recommend an independent production for reasons of authenticity.

An important point when recording a video is the alignment of the smartphone camera. Our recommendation is to order the tripod together with the employer branding video.
Look directly into the camera. Not just up or down.
Don't worry about tapping the Rec button when starting and stopping the recording. These can simply be cut away after recording.
The right video light ensures clear images. Filming against the sun is not a good idea. The smartphone usually controls the exposure automatically. Use daylight and the window as a light source. Artificial light tends to look bad in the evening.
‍
Is there a calm and uncluttered background? It is better not to choose a white background. This is because the camera focuses on the brightest areas for the exposure. With a white background, this leads to a darkening of your image in the frame.
Clothing is an important point when shooting video. Dress according to your position and the usual corporate culture in your industry. Dress as you would for a job interview. It is best not to wear any logos or lettering on your clothing. The viewer will see too much of you through the pictures and lettering.

Video post-processing is possible by trimming. This cuts off the beginning and end of the video. Sound quality is another key to successful video recording. Ensure a quiet environment. Our recommendation: Order the clip-on microphone for your employer branding video now.

Other small tips for good videos: Thank the applicant for their answer from time to time, as they have already answered from the second question onwards.

Some technical tips: A stable internet connection makes it easier to make the video, and please always use landscape format, as the video can later be seen in landscape format. If the smartphone's flight mode is activated, no calls can interfere with the recording.

Depending on how you have communicated your topic, the candidate receives either a link to start the interview, a QR code or a numerical code. They start the interview via the web (a device with a camera), iOS or Android. They then start to set the recording position. Now they can start answering the questions. Similar to a real interview, the question is asked first and then answered.

Depending on how much time and opportunities for repetition you have given the candidate, they will answer the interview questions. After all questions have been answered, the app edits the questions and answers together resulting in a  complete video with the relevant data available in Canditate Management.

Jobcode PRO uses AI to provide you with optimum support for your recruiting. The AI analyzes the applicant's language in the video interview for its impact, emotions and characteristics. It deciphers patterns in written and spoken language, allowing psychological conclusions to be drawn about communicative and personal skills, as well as the generated effect of language.
A psychological impact profile is created and provides you with optimal support in your recruiting process.

Human language is decoded by identifying and deciphering psychologically relevant speech patterns. The speech samples are broken down into the smallest information modules and checked for linguistic and prosodic characteristics.

These characteristics are then summarized in modules to form valid statements by the speaker. The special feature is the unique interplay of linguistics, psychology and data analysis.
