Cornerstone Japan, founded by two lads, Matt and Alex, has become one of the fastest-growing recruitment companies in Japan. One of the most exciting things they're doing is creating a thriving YouTube channel, which they launched just over a year ago. With over 2.3K subscribers and 170,000 views across the channel, their YouTube channel has proved proven to be a valuable asset. In this video, we'll explore some key takeaways from Cornerstone Japan's successful YouTube channel, and we'll predict how it's going to affect their company in the next 5 to 10 years. Let's get into it. Guys, can we just take a moment to appreciate exactly what Cornerstone Japan have done? While most recruitment companies are still trying to figure out how to do a poll on LinkedIn, Cornerstone has a thriving YouTube channel with high-quality entertaining videos. And considering they've only been doing this a year, guys, to get 2.3K subscribers and 170,000 views is nothing to sniff at. If they keep this up, they'll be swimming in subscribers in the next 5 to 10 years. And the benefits this will bring the company will be absolutely insane. We're talking about doubling or even tripling their revenue. Massive brand awareness, top recruiters begging to work at the company, and big brands lining up around the block wanting to sponsor their videos. All of this is a dream come true for any business owner. Cornerstone Japan are on to something big, and I guarantee you they will inspire other recruitment companies to really step up their content game. Most recruitment companies that want to take YouTube seriously really miss the mark in a big way. Their videos are about as exciting as watching paint dry, and they're so bloody corporate you can pretty much smell the boardroom. Oh God, what am I doing? But not Cornerstone Japan. Matt and Alex, the founders, are front and center, showing their faces and letting us get to know them on a personal level. And they do a great job at getting the audience to like them. They're the kind of people that you want to grab a drink with after work, and their videos are a perfect reflection of their personalities. What I really love about their channel is they're not afraid to get creative. From a day in the life of a recruiter in Japan to a hot wing challenge in a boardroom. This is fucking off. Motherfucker. They have found unique and exciting ways to let us into their world and really join in on the fun. It makes you feel good and it makes you want to do business with them. And here's another thing to take note of. If you take a few moments just to look at Cornerstone Japan's YouTube channel, you'll see that it's obvious they have hired a full-time cameraman and editor. These guys are paid a full salary just to produce content for their company. And while 99% of other recruitment companies will probably laugh you out the door for that suggestion, let me tell you, it's a bloody smart move. For starters, it ensures consistency across their entire channel. Secondly, having a dedicated cameraman and editor means they have the expertise to create films that are engaging, entertaining, and demand attention. I have to say, guys, that Cornerstone Japan's commitment to growing their YouTube channel is seriously impressive. They could have easily used that time and money to hire more recruiters and generate more immediate cash, but instead they're playing the long game. Mark my words. In 5 to 10 years, this YouTube channel is going to be one of Cornerstone Japan's biggest assets, and the opportunities it will bring them will be phenomenal. They're building a community around their brand, establishing themselves as thought leaders in the recruitment industry, and giving potential clients and employees a behind-the-scenes look at their company culture. If you're the owner of a recruitment business, I highly recommend you go check out Cornerstone Japan's YouTube channel and start thinking about how you can do something similar for your company. Because let's face it, guys, in today's digital age, having a strong online presence is absolutely essential for any business that wants to thrive.
