Movies for Hiring and Retaining
More and More companies are using movies for training, retaining and hiring. While Smart Hiring recently made a Induction training movie for Hilton in India we are also in dialog with companies that are toying with ideas of sending movies to prospective employees to ensure that they do not hire a misfit.
US Based Lindblad Expeditions, a 500-employee adventure cruise company, sends job applicants a DVD showing not one, but two shots of a crew member cleaning toilets. A dishwasher talks about washing 5,000 dishes in one day. "Be prepared to work your butt off," another says.
"It’s meant to scare you off," company founder Sven Lindblad said. The movie is designed to ensure that no one joins in and says ‘This is not what I expected,’
Aggressive to hire people, employers try to show their best side while hiding the bit about working late and other operational challenges that might put off the candidate from joining. And this causes an attrition rate because the candidate after joining see the warts and all and decides to quit. With a movie sent to a prospective employee you can put forth to him all the challenging aspects and side effects of the job and ensure that I-cannot-handle-that type of candidate do not join and only can-do type of people join your team.
Talk to Smart Hiring for making movies that will help you train, retain, induct and hire the best and smartest on your team.
