In a bold move towards modern recruitment practices, Hilton Hotels and Resorts has announced a surprising shift in their hiring process.

The global hospitality giant is now encouraging job applicants to submit a 60-second TikTok video instead of the traditional CV.

This unorthodox approach stems from Hilton’s desire to adapt to the evolving landscape of the job market, particularly among younger generations.

They believe that TikTok videos offer a more dynamic and engaging way for candidates to showcase their skills, personality, and creativity, aligning with the company’s commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences.

Hilton’s decision reflects the growing influence of social media platforms in various aspects of life, including recruitment.

By embracing TikTok, they aim to attract a new wave of talent and diversify their workforce. This approach also aligns with the company’s dedication to inclusivity and innovation.

Candidates are encouraged to use their minute-long videos to introduce themselves, highlight their relevant experiences, and demonstrate why they would be an ideal fit for Hilton.

The videos will be evaluated by a panel of HR professionals, who will consider factors such as communication skills, enthusiasm, and the ability to think on one’s feet.

The move has sparked both excitement and skepticism among job seekers and industry experts alike. #featured

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
