Prove you and your team are more than great recruiters – show us you are not just at the forefront of recruiting excellence, but you’ve got the moves, silly costumes and bundles of energy to match – in short, we’d like you to do the Harlem Shake.

Whether you’re based in London, Llandudno, LA or Lagos, agency or in-house recruiters, this is the chance to show us that yours is a great team to work with – and you never know, there could be more in it for you than just YouTube fame…

For the uninitiated – and we know you are out there – even though the original Shake has racked up over 20m views in the month since it was uploaded, and response videos further millions across the globe, an example from the Norwegian Army is posted at the bottom of the story.

So with that for inspiration, get down to lights, camera and action! Please send your videos to [email protected] via wetransfer.com or another FTP site of your choice. Please don't email them to us as attachments as your email may bounce back.
