Three 8-second hiring clips cost $3.00 on Sume. Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 lists $0.10 per second at 720p, Sume bills list x 1.25, and each 8-second clip is $1.00. A holiday-rush hiring post is only useful if it shows the work and states the facts, so the clips are made from photos of your real shop, stockroom or counter, and the pay, hours and start date are burned in as captions.

Do not use a generated person as an employee giving a testimonial about working for you. That is an invented experience, the same trap the FTC rule post covers for reviews.

Three clips

Each clip is a first-frame animation of a real photo, so the place in the ad is the place the person will work.

Generate one

Omni accepts 3 to 10 seconds, 16:9 or 9:16, with native audio always on. Ask for quiet ambience. Poll GET /v1/videos/{id} until completed, then read the first entry of unsigned_urls.

Captions carry the terms

Pay, shifts, start date and how to apply go in captions made with Video captions cues. Your local rules on job ads may require specific content, such as the pay range, so check them with whoever handles hiring; this post is not legal advice.

Keep the clip honest. If the photo shows a clean, quiet shop and the job is loud and fast, the ad has promised the wrong job.

  • Make a 16:9 version for a careers page.
  • Budget $6.00 for three clips and three re-rolls.
  • Remove the ad once the positions are filled.
