Revolutionising the job market with video: Introducing CVD, The Game-Changer
By OSKY
Highlights
OPEN Communication launched CVD (Curriculum Video) on the App Store a few weeks ago, an innovative video application designed to help recruiters attract more suitable applicants from their job ads, while making the application process easier for job seekers.
OPEN Communication is a Swiss based company but the CVD App was built in Canberra through a partnership with OSKY, a leading IT company based iin Fyshwick.
92% of people abandon job applications halfway through because of the complexity of the process (source: SHRM). In Australia, the average time to hire is 28.1 days (SEEK) and the average cost per hire is $26,000 (Australian Human Resources Institute) – a significant portion of this cost is attributed to interviewing candidates.
CVD reduces the abandonment rate, time to hire and cost of recruitment, helping job seekers and recruiters find the right job and the right fit efficiently. With CVD, job seekers and recruiters can effortlessly create professional-looking videos in minutes, even without digital skills.
The application features an AI-powered script generator, integrated teleprompter, automatic video editing and seamless sharing options, including through the app’s Marketplace. Both job seekers and recruiters can create a CVD and share it for free on the Marketplace, empowering them to showcase their unique qualities and skills.
CVD saves significant time and money, simplifying the process for both job seekers and recruiters. By showcasing people, not just skills, candidates can stand out and show their personality. They will only be interviewed by companies that truly value who they are. And when a recruiter adds a video presentation to a job ad, applications increase by 34% (CareerBuilder). For Millennials and Gen Z, getting a feel for the people they will be working with is particularly important. They are more likely to engage with companies that use innovative recruitment processes, offering a sense of relief and optimism in the recruitment process.
While CVD’s primary focus is connecting job seekers with recruiters, its versatility extends far beyond. Users can leverage CVD to create video pitches in minutes for various purposes, including company profiles, associations and non-profits, cultural and sporting events, political campaigns, social media content, etc.
CVD has already garnered support from institutions and organisations around the world: Adecco (the world’s largest recruiting company), AIESEC (the world’s largest student association), Australian College of Applied Professions, Career Vitae, Hansen Recruitment, top universities in Switzerland, Infomaniak, Epidemic Sound, among others.
"CVD enables anyone, regardless of age or level of digital literacy, to promote themselves or their organisation in the job market through quality video. By empowering job seekers and recruiters to showcase their unique qualities through video, CVD emphasises the human connection between people and is changing the face of recruitment." Emmanuel Bichet, founder and CEO of OPEN Communication.
