As part of my review, I always look at the jobs postings (to see how fast a company is growing) and also scan the company Youtube videos. I came across their recruiting video called "This is Zendesk." I didn't plan on watching the whole thing. However, the more I watched, the more I liked it. The video sucked me in, bit by bit.

After watching this video, you too may want to work at Zendesk. .... or you can produce one of these videos for your own company today.
So, one of the Secrets to finding and hiring Top People is to... Produce a fun low-budget recruiting video about working at your company.
Please comment with any other great company videos that would get a new employee excited to work for your company.
