Press Play: How MongoDB is scaling employer branding and talent acquisition with Vouch

MongoDB, a global leader in database platforms, is known for its cutting-edge technology and innovative culture. With employees spread throughout the world, MongoDB needed a way to bring its team’s authentic voices to life for a global audience.

So they came to Vouch!

If you aren’t a regular reader of Press Play, we’re an AI content platform that helps companies scale their storytelling to attract talent, engage candidates, and empower recruitment teams to hit their hiring goals faster. MongoDB uses Vouch to create compelling video content that supports its employer branding and talent acquisition goals. By using our tools, MongoDB can collect genuine employee testimonials and showcase what it’s like to work at their company — all while keeping the process simple and seamless, even for a globally distributed workforce.

“Since implementing Vouch, we've blown away the goals we set for the amount of video content we hope to create through the platform,” said Jackie Denner, Global Employer Brand Senior Analyst at MongoDB. “Vouch has been a great way for us to create more authentic employer brand content at scale. We know the power that employee stories hold for potential candidates who want to know more about us as an employer.”

Engaging global talent

For a company like MongoDB, with employees collaborating from various corners of the world, Vouch has made it easy to spotlight diverse perspectives. Videos recorded by employees give potential candidates a real glimpse into MongoDB’s unique culture. These authentic voices resonate more deeply with job seekers, building trust and a connection even before the first interview.

MongoDB’s Industry Solutions team, for example, has used Vouch to showcase their dynamic and multifaceted roles. Employees based in Spain have shared how they navigate the intersection of business needs and technical innovation, highlighting the team’s impact on customers. These videos have become key tools in MongoDB’s recruitment campaigns, inspiring candidates to envision themselves contributing to these meaningful projects.

Simplifying content creation at scale

Vouch’s platform doesn’t just empower employees to share their stories — it simplifies the entire content creation process. With AI-powered features for transcription, tagging, and editing, MongoDB can focus on amplifying its message rather than wrestling with logistics.

This efficiency has been pivotal for creating videos throughout the candidate journey. Whether it’s interview prep videos from recruiters, hiring manager introductions, or insights into the company’s work culture, MongoDB has unlocked new ways to engage and connect with prospective talent.

In a LinkedIn post promoting job openings for product marketing managers, a technical product marketing manager at MongoDB based in New York City offered his take on the part software engineering plays in his role.

Looking ahead: Unlocking new opportunities with Vouch

For MongoDB, the journey with Vouch is just at the beginning. Beyond the success they've already achieved, the platform presents exciting possibilities for deeper engagement throughout the candidate experience.

“Looking ahead, I’m excited to leverage the platform to create videos that can be used throughout the entire candidate journey,” Denner said. “Whether that’s videos with hiring managers, interview prep videos, or even videos from recruiters themselves, I know there’s a lot of opportunity ahead of us.”

The bigger picture

As MongoDB continues to grow, Vouch remains an essential partner in helping the company amplify its employer brand and attract top talent. By putting employee voices front and center, MongoDB goes beyond just filling roles. This team is building trust, fostering connections, and showcasing the vibrant culture that drives its success.

Is your team looking to elevate its employer branding and recruitment strategies? MongoDB’s journey with Vouch is a testament to the power of authentic storytelling. Whether you're creating videos to engage talent or building a library of shareable content to enhance your candidate experience, Vouch offers the tools to make it happen.
