Must-Know Compliance Changes for Employer Branding

More than 20 states have passed data privacy legislation, and some of the provisions directly impact employer branding content.  The standard media release that many companies use is no longer compliant in all states and employers need to track which assets contain which employees' likenesses, and where those assets have been shared.  Few organizations have the processes or systems to meet these new requirements.  Join this high-level webinar to review the legislation that has been passed and the specific steps necessary to be in compliance.  Leading the discussion is Lisa Moran, JD, an experienced employment lawyer with global perspective.

Research Summary- Video Impact on Recruiting Efficiency

A comprehensive 2024 study of nearly 10,000 candidates reveals how hiring manager videos transform recruiting efficiency.

The research, conducted across the US and Canada, shows that video doesn't just improve candidate quality—it reduces unproductive work throughout the recruiting funnel. For talent acquisition teams facing budget and headcount pressures, hiring manager video offers a proven way to drive better results with fewer resources.

When buying a video platform, there are a number of key questions you should ask before making your decision to purchase. This document will inform you of a number of those questions. Make sure to read this and ask the right questions when deciding on your next platform!

Written job descriptions sound and look the same, failing to spark interest in qualified candidates. Sparc lets candidates “meet their boss” through 20-second video clips embedded in the job description, so they connect with the opportunity.  Sparc automates the creation, approval and insertion of video clips to make your jobs stand out and increase qualified applicants.
