Very similar to my idea in Recruit on YouTube for free, GiggedUp offers employers the ability to post a video talking about an open position YouTube style but there is a fee of $265 per job. Less if you go with one of their packages. And candidates can record themselves answering some interview questions and post the video to the site for free.
I tried to play one of the sample videos on the site but it took a long time to load. It’s in beta right now so they’re probably working out the bugs. But I think GiggedUp could do a better job of communicating what the site can do and for whom on the homepage which states:
We’ve got video! GiggedUp is the job posting site with a big difference: we’ve got video. So jobs posted on GiggedUp.com don’t tell you what employers want…they show you. Get started today!
Employers: Post your jobs for FREE during our beta! Using GiggedUp you can increase your chances of finding the ideal candidate by including a video to accompany your job posting. Discover 5 ways video can help improve your hiring process. Get an employer account now.
For the job seeker, after you click on the “Get started today!” link, you are presented with a form to fill out so you can become a member. But it doesn’t tell the job seeker what specifically they can do on the site. I think the ability for job seekers to post their interview videos for free is something they should be highlighting! I found Mashable’s explanation to be much clearer.
Jason Goldburg mentions in a recent blog post, a WSJ article where Baker Tee, a job hunter created and posted (I’m not sure if it was to YouTube or not) a video resume, received four job offers and accepted one of them. Mmm, perhaps Baker Tee is the creater of GiggedUp?
