S&W: Defining a new identity after separating from Evelyn Partners

After separating from Evelyn Partners and evolving their brand identity from Smith & Williamson to S&W, the team needed a recruitment film that felt modern, confident, and true to who they are now.

The focus: showcasing their people, the opportunities that differentiate them from the Big 4, and the values that shape how they work.

Context
Post-separation brand shift (Smith & Williamson → S&W)

Gray’s Inn: Showcasing life inside the Inn to attract aspiring barristers

Gray’s Inn wanted to attract young barristers by bringing the Inn to life, the spaces, the members, and the practical realities that make joining feel both achievable and compelling, including transport links and day-to-day experience. We shot new footage in Holborn, London and repurposed existing photography and archive material, shaping it into a cohesive EVP film that felt prestigious, welcoming and modern.

Project Type

Approach
New footage + repurposed photography & archive material
What we solved
A film that balanced heritage with accessibility, showing the environment, the members, and the practical realities of joining, while positioning Gray’s Inn as a supportive place to grow.
Strategy first

Before we film,
we define the employer story.

Employer brand video production is employer brand communication — not content for content’s sake. We shape the message before cameras are involved.

That means aligning on EVP, candidate psychology, hiring priorities and distribution context (careers page, LinkedIn, job ads, internal comms) so the films support better hiring outcomes and still feel true to your culture.

Recruitment alignment framework
Hiring objective
What are you trying to improve — application quality, volume, role awareness, retention-fit, or speed-to-hire?
Candidate audience & context
Who is this for, and where will they see it? Careers site, LinkedIn, job ads, referral comms, or hiring events.
EVP & employer brand truth
What should candidates believe after watching? Culture signals, growth path, role reality, and “what good looks like”.
Content system & investment level
We calibrate filming time, locations, edit depth and cut-downs around the investment you’re making — so outputs match ambition and distribution.
Employer brand video production strategy includes EVP definition, hiring objectives, candidate audience alignment, distribution planning, employer brand positioning and investment calibration before filming begins.

How it works

A structured approach to Recruitment video production.

Recruitment video production shouldn’t be sold in tiers. We structure each engagement around the role reality, your employer brand (EVP), candidate psychology, distribution context, and the level of investment you’re prepared to put behind it, so the outcome matches the hiring ambition.

Step 01
Strategy
EVP + hiring narrative definition
Define the employer story candidates need, what success looks like in the role, and the decision you want the right people to make. We also map where the content will live: careers pages, LinkedIn, job ads, referrals, or hiring events.
Step 02
Filming
Interview-led recruitment filming
A calm, minimal-crew setup designed to keep people natural. We direct interviews to surface credible culture signals, role clarity, and leadership intent — without “performance mode”.
Step 03
Hero film
Flagship employer brand film (EVP)
The central film shaped for trust: clear narrative arc, believable messaging, and culture proof that feels specific. This becomes the anchor asset for careers pages and recruitment campaigns.
Step 04
Rollout
Modular cutdowns for hiring channels
Edits shaped for where candidates actually see the message: LinkedIn, job ads, careers pages, onboarding, referrals and events. The aim is consistent employer brand signals across the full hiring journey.
Optional: ongoing recruitment + employer brand content
If you’re hiring continuously, we can build a repeatable content system: quarterly capture days, role campaigns, leadership updates, and a library of modular assets that stays current as teams and priorities change.

Sector-specific recruitment video

Recruitment Video Production for Your Sector

We work with organisations across financial services, legal, SaaS, professional services, corporate travel and manufacturing, sectors where employer brand credibility, governance sign-off, and candidate trust are part of every brief.

Sector context shapes everything: the tone of the film, the language candidates respond to, the stakeholders who need to approve it, and the platforms where it will be seen. A recruitment film for a City law firm requires a different approach to one for a scale-up SaaS business and we build that context into every project from the start.

RECRUITMENT & EMPLOYER BRAND

Recruitment video questions, answered properly.

The practical questions HR, Talent and Employer Brand teams ask before choosing a recruitment video production agency or employer brand video agency, answered in plain English.

01What does a recruitment video production agency do?
A recruitment video production agency in London plans, films and produces employer brand and hiring campaign content designed to improve hiring outcomes — covering EVP films, careers page content, role videos, hiring manager messages, and modular campaign assets. At MHF Creative, we structure recruitment video production around EVP clarity, candidate psychology and modular distribution, helping talent teams improve application quality and make better hiring decisions.
02What’s the difference between an EVP film and a recruitment campaign video?
An EVP film is the “belief” layer, it builds trust in the employer brand and clarifies what you stand for. A recruitment campaign video is designed to convert: it makes the role feel clear, real and worth applying for. A good employer brand video agency will design both so they work together without feeling like two different brands.
03What types of recruitment videos should we create first?
Most teams get the best return from a hero EVP film for the careers page, one or two role videos for role clarity, and modular campaign cutdowns for LinkedIn and job ads. If you’re hiring senior roles, add a leadership or hiring manager video to build trust quickly.
04How do recruitment videos improve application quality?
They improve application quality by reducing uncertainty. A strong recruitment film clarifies the work, standards, pace and expectations so candidates can self-select. That usually means fewer misaligned applications and more interviews with people who genuinely fit the role reality.
05What should an employer brand film (EVP video) include to feel credible?
Credibility comes from specificity: what success looks like, what the culture rewards, how decisions are made, and what the trade-offs are, not just perks. A believable EVP video shows real people, real work, and proof points candidates can recognise.
06Where should recruitment and employer brand videos be used?
Best placements include careers pages, LinkedIn (organic + paid), job ads, hiring landing pages, onboarding, referral campaigns, internal comms and recruitment events. Performance improves when edits are shaped for each context, not one master edit used everywhere.
07How long should recruitment videos be?
A common structure is: 60–90 seconds for LinkedIn and paid placements, 2–3 minutes for a careers-page EVP film, plus 15–30 second cutdowns for job ads. The best approach is a hero piece plus modular cutdowns sized for each channel.
08Can one filming day create multiple recruitment video assets?
Yes, with smart interview design. One shoot can produce an EVP hero film, role-led clips, team spotlights and campaign cutdowns, which is often the most efficient way to build a repeatable recruitment content system.
09How do you keep people natural on camera and avoid “corporate cringe”?
We shape the message first, then film through guided conversation with a small crew in a calm, senior-friendly setup. The goal is authenticity with structure, people sounding like themselves, just more organised.
10How much does recruitment video production cost in the UK?
Cost depends on filming days, locations, number of interviewees and deliverables such as a hero film plus cutdowns. A good recruitment video production agency aligns budget with distribution so you are not paying for polish you will not deploy.
11What’s the difference between a recruitment video production company and a recruitment video production agency?
A recruitment video production company films what you brief. A recruitment video production agency shapes the brief, starting with your EVP, your candidate audience, and the specific hiring outcome you are trying to improve. The distinction matters because the brief itself is usually where the biggest problems are: unclear EVP, misaligned tone, or content built for the wrong stage of the candidate journey.
12Do you work with in-house talent teams or through a recruitment agency?
We work directly with in-house HR, Talent Acquisition and Employer Brand teams at mid-market and enterprise organisations across finance, SaaS, and professional services. We do not work through recruitment agencies. Our projects begin with a structured discovery session to align on EVP, candidate audience and distribution before any filming takes place.
13 Do you film recruitment videos outside London?
Yes. While most of our recruitment video production and employer brand film projects are based in London — across the City, Canary Wharf, and the wider professional services and financial district — we film across the UK and internationally. The RMS Global project, for example, took us across Melbourne and San Diego. We travel with our core team or work with trusted local partners depending on scope and location.
