Now, apply for the job through a video clip

dubai — For the first time in the region, online platform for classified advertisements, dubizzle, has launched a video job application feature allowing job seekers to submit their job applications via a video recording for free. The new tool will reinvent the application process for candidates, while creating a fast and useful screening filter for recruiters.

With an average of 3.4 million visits to its jobs section each month, dubizzle’s new tool streamlines the recruitment process by allowing job seekers to record a 10-second to two-minute video job application directly onto the platform.

“Our jobs section receives huge volumes of traffic and we continuously work to enhance the user experience. Through adding new features such as video job application, we aim to make it easier for recruiters to screen candidates faster and fill vacancies more efficiently, as well as provide job seekers a platform to showcase their competitive advantage in a way they cannot do on any other job platform,” said Mireia Mujika, product manager at dubizzle Jobs.

Using the new feature, job seekers can apply to job ads on dubizzle by recording a video application directly on the specific job ad page that they are viewing. The video is automatically sent through to the recruiter with their job application once they are satisfied with the take. The feature is free and easy to use, without the complications of having to use a separate programme to record and upload the video.
