Short-form video unlocks B2B talent acquisition and employer brand simultaneously

Loomis argues that B2B companies have systematically overlooked short-form video platforms like TikTok as legitimate channels for talent recruitment and employer brand building, despite these platforms' proven ability to reach job seekers at scale. He contends that the dismissal of TikTok in professional contexts reflects outdated assumptions about where talent discovery happens, not actual platform limitations or audience mismatch.
