In the digital era of recruitment, your appearance in your hiring manager recruitment video is not just about personal style; it's about creating a lasting impression that aligns with your company's image. In this blog post, we'll explore how hiring managers should dress when recording a video to attract top talent using VideoMatch.

  1. Dress Professionally: Professionalism is key, so take what you normally wear at work and elevate it a few notches. When in doubt, it’s usually less risky to just opt for business professional or business casual attire. Even if it’s not what you wear every day, it communicates that you take the recruitment process seriously and sets a positive tone.
  2. Align with Company Culture: Consider your company's culture when choosing your outfit. If your workplace has a formal atmosphere, mirror that in your attire. For companies with a more relaxed vibe, step it up a bit or just default to business casual. Ultimately, your clothing should reflect the culture you're promoting.
  3. Solid Colors Work Best: Solid colors, such as black, navy, gray, or white, are timeless and versatile. Importantly, they appear well on camera and minimize distractions. Wearing flashy colors can sometimes be distracting, so consider avoiding them unless they are an important part of your company’s culture. 
  4. Look good; feel good: Everyone’s definition of “well groomed” is highly personal - so do what you think makes you feel good about how you’re presenting yourself. A well-groomed look enhances your professionalism and makes a positive impact.

With these four tips your attire in a recruitment video will send a visual message to potential candidates that will contribute to a positive and memorable impression!
