The aim is to provide an authentic impression of our work at Hermes Fulfilment on our social media and recruiting channels as well as on our website. In this way, we want to give applicants an insight and motivate them to apply to us.

Once we have received your contact details, we will speak to your manager and clarify with them that you are allowed to use your cell phone for the purpose of filming at work. We will then send you a few tips on how best to record your video as well as a few optional video ideas.

No, you don't have to do that. The video will be edited and uploaded by us.

It's up to you when you want to film your video. However, you will only receive your bonus once the video has been checked by us and published. The cash reward is only available for videos that we publish. If your video is not published, for example because it violates data protection regulations or shows company secrets, we will contact you again.

If you follow us on social media, you've probably already seen one or two of our colleagues. New employees are constantly introducing themselves on our channels or talking about their time at Hermes Fulfilment.

Sure, that's possible.

All employees of the Hermes Fulfilment Group who receive their salary via Hermes Fulfilment and are at least 16 years old.

If you have sent us your first video and we have published it, you will receive €50 via your pay slip shortly after publication. Of course, this bonus must be taxed in the same way as your regular salary.

After you have expressed your interest via the contact form, we will approach your manager and clarify everything else with them so that you can use your cell phone at work for this purpose.

Any device with a reasonably good camera will do. We don't need extremely high-resolution images for social media. A camera or smartphone from the last few years should suffice.

The video you send us only needs to be 60 - 120 seconds long. We will then cut and edit your video to create a social media post of approximately 60 seconds.

• HDL, LÖ, OH and ANS: Employees scan the activity key "xx71 - Admin" and the managers maintain this with "xx91 - paid leave of absence"

• LSB: "xx91 - paid time off" The activity keys must be used at all locations with a HerZ connection or ATOSS (PDC terminals and selectable via the HerZ PC dialogs)

Rotate the video in portrait format, as you know it from Instagram, for example.

Your video can be uploaded to our website as well as all current and future social media and recruiting channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, Azubiyo, Aubi-Plus, StepStone, Indeed, Kununu ...) of Hermes Fulfilment GmbH and its foreign and domestic subsidiaries. We currently operate social media channels in several countries. If you do not want your video to be uploaded to a particular channel, please let us know. You can also revoke your consent to upload at any time.

Note when shooting:

• The basic rule is: go for the motif. Whether it's a person, activity or workplace: what matters must be in the foreground and easily recognizable.
• Jerky movements: A video of employees does not need to be perfect. The image can shake a little, but jerky movements should be avoided.
• Clothing: You can wear your normal work clothes. If you have a T-shirt with the Hermes Fulfilment logo, this creates additional recognition value.
• Background noise: Remember that if you are filming in a loud background noise, spoken words may be difficult to understand.
• Brevity is the spice of life: Videos on social media channels should not be longer than one minute (exception: interview videos or explainer videos). Experience has shown that attention wanes with anything longer.
• Just be yourself: Employees in front of the camera should come across as authentic and likeable. Viewers will quickly notice if you don't feel comfortable in your own skin or are pretending.
• Avoid technical terms: Anyone acting and speaking in front of the camera should mentally assume the position of the audience. Only very few people will know the processes in logistics centers and be familiar with technical terms such as batch, sorter and WAB.

Possible structure of the video:

• Introduction: Just like the first lines in a text, the first few seconds of a video decide whether the target group actually watches or stays tuned in. An interesting motif or an unusual perspective should provide a visually appealing introduction. A short intro in the form of a question is also possible (example: Have you always wanted to know what happens in the background during online shopping?) Ideally, the company logo should be visible right at the beginning (for example on the T-shirt) to create recognition value.
• Main part: It is worth getting to the point quickly in the videos. It is best to think about the messages beforehand so that you can then formulate them briefly and succinctly in the video.
• Conclusion: To encourage viewers to take the desired action, the video should end with a "call to action". Examples of this are: "Visit our website.", "Find out about vacancies with us at www.....", "Next week, XY will introduce you to his job as an order picker here."

• Data protection:
  • Declaration of consent from all persons shown: Make sure that no persons other than yourself can be seen on the video. If you want to make a video with several people, they must have signed our declaration of consent before the video is recorded. You can print out the declaration of consent here. You can then photograph the signed consent forms and send them to us later with your video. § Section 22 KUG stipulates that anyone wishing to publish an image must first obtain the consent of the persons concerned.
  • Minimum age of the persons shown: All persons shown must be at least 16 years old.
  • Customer data: Address labels of end customers* are taboo.
• Occupational safety: Be a good role model and ensure that you wear the correct work clothing or protective clothing for your work area.
• Company secrets:
  • The displays of monitors, handheld scanners and similar devices should only be visible if the surfaces on them are allowed to be shown.
  • Branded boxes or bags should only be shown if the Otto Group retail companies also agree to this. (So far there have been no problems with OTTO, Bonprix, Baur, Heine and Schwab during TV shoots. With About You and Amazon: Please clarify this beforehand or better do without the logos).

• Sending the videos: The best way to send your finished video is via www.wetransfer.com (also available as an app) or via another cloud to happy(at)hermes-ws.com
• Approval by head office: Once we have received your video, we check that all the people shown and our company are presented in a good light. We then cut, edit and publish the video.
• Upload the video to your private social media account: You should avoid using company videos for private purposes and posting them on privately used networks. To show the video to your friends, simply use the share function after we have published the video on our official company channels.

Not necessarily. You can also record videos of the company party or cool technology. But keep in mind that the likelihood of us publishing your video is higher if you include something else. You will only receive your reward if the video is published.
