When hiring a recruitment video production company, you’ll want to begin by defining your specific needs and objectives. Consider what recruitment challenges you face and what message you want to convey to potential candidates.

Next, research companies with experience in creating recruitment videos specifically. At Page One, we’ve worked with organisations facing diverse hiring challenges – from NCT needing specialised engineering talent to E.ON requiring degree apprentices for their programs.

Once you’ve identified potential partners, review their portfolio to assess quality and style. For example, you’ll notice that our work with Haldex involved capturing authentic employee testimonials at their UK development facility, creating content that resonated with engineering candidates in a competitive market.

Contact us to discuss your project in detail. During this conversation, we’ll ask thoughtful questions about your company culture, target candidates and recruitment goals rather than simply discussing technical specifications.

At Page One, we pride ourselves on being collaborative and responsive, ensuring your recruitment video project progresses smoothly from concept to completion. The results speak for themselves – clients like E.ON saw significant improvements in their apprenticeship applications after implementing our video strategy across their recruitment channels.

A recruitment film is a specialised video designed to attract potential employees to your organisation by showcasing your company culture, work environment, career opportunities and employee experiences. Unlike traditional job advertisements, recruitment films provide candidates with an authentic glimpse into what working at your company is truly like.

You might use recruitment films at various stages of your hiring process – from initial awareness on social media to deeper engagement on your careers page. For instance, when RPS needed to attract graduate engineers, we created culture-focused videos featuring current graduates speaking candidly about their experiences, helping potential applicants envision themselves at the company.

These films solve specific recruitment challenges. When NCT faced difficulties attracting engineering staff in a competitive market, we developed a dynamic graphical style that appealed to younger demographics and deployed the content across their bus displays – reaching passive candidates who weren’t actively job searching but were already familiar with the brand.

Effective recruitment films typically include a mix of employee testimonials, workplace footage and information about company values and benefits. For E.ON’s International Women’s Day project, we created a video highlighting their commitment to gender equality. It was a powerful recruitment tool, demonstrating company culture to potential recruits before they applied.

Recruitment films increase application rates and improve applicants’ quality by helping candidates self-select based on cultural fit, saving resources throughout your hiring process.

We understand that your business operations can’t stop for a video shoot. Our approach is designed to work around your schedule with minimal impact on your day-to-day activities. Our team is experienced in working efficiently and unobtrusively in various environments.

For example, we conducted thorough pre-shoot planning to enable filming at the NHS Acute Medicine Unit – one of the busiest departments in a large NHS trust. We worked with a single filmmaker over two days to ensure zero disruption to their 24-hour operation. Similarly, our factory fly-through video for REE was carefully choreographed to showcase their production line without interfering with the manufacturing process

Our Agile approach to video production addresses the modern challenge of creating more video content for more platforms more quickly. This means:

1. We design to iterate, building flexibility into our process from the start
2. We sprint through production without unnecessary pauses, keeping workflow constant
3. We collaborate instead of negotiating, solving your problems rather than creating new ones
4. We eliminate processes that don’t add value for you
5. We maintain complete control by keeping all work in-house

This approach allowed us to help E.ON with their Drive video launch. We provided concept development and scripting,  then location filming and drone videography, finishing with full post production and colour grading. The result was a high-quality corporate video showcasing E.on’s new rapid EV charging network, completed efficiently and effectively.
