While setting up a [Linkedin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-analytics) posting or [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-short-video) recruitment ad seems like the most obvious ways to boost application rates, the [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youtube-affiliate-finder) recruiting infographic reveals the viral video network has its own head hunting potential.

Coming in only behind Google and Facebook, Youtube is the third most trafficked website in the world and is the second largest search engine. Although dozens of newly graduated students are seeking jobs in the market, finding the right fit for your company is still challenging to say the least. Videos allow companies to engage and entice potential employees through visually enhanced presentations. Sites like YouTube also allow you to target your recruitment messages to specific demographics, cutting down the applicant pool to a more tailored group.

The YouTube recruiting infographic proves the network boasts a few hidden secrets that may help you find the next star for your project.
