Whether it’s in audio, video, or written format, if we’re talking about information designed to start conversations with passive candidates, it’s simple: tell them what they want to know.
This is what’s currently top-of-mind for these candidates (other than comp):
The health of the company: Is this company stable? Aka, will I have a job a year from now? Regardless of your answer, you need to give one—upfront with transparency.
Work from home policy: Do you have one? What is it? (Don’t know? Sorry, not interested.)
Can I relate to the people who work there?
How work gets done: How big is the team? What is the timeline for new hires? How do you build, sell, collaborate, and make decisions?
These are high-level topics that can be broken down into many individual pieces of content, from “how you do” these things to simply communicating the details directly in a candidate FAQ.
