The company announced this new tool. It aims to help people find jobs in creative ways. TikTok believes video resumes offer a more dynamic way for candidates to present themselves. This method goes beyond traditional paper resumes.
Several major companies are already participating. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Target, and Shopify are among the first brands using TikTok Resumes. These companies are actively looking for new talent. They are posting job openings specifically for video applications.
Job seekers interested must create a video resume. They need to use the hashtag #TikTokResumes in their video description. The video should highlight their relevant skills and personality. Applicants then submit their video through the TikTok Resumes website. The website acts as a central hub for these applications.
TikTok sees this as beneficial for both employers and job seekers. Employers can discover talent in a fresh format. They get a better sense of a candidate’s personality and communication style. Job seekers, especially younger generations, get a modern platform to stand out. It allows them to demonstrate creativity and digital skills directly.
