Why Employer Branding Video Matters

Attracting top talent isn’t just about rattling off the same old benefits and perks as every other company—it’s about showcasing what makes your workplace truly one-of-a-kind. Employer branding videos are your key to standing out; they allow you to highlight your culture in a way that truly resonates. Instead of merely telling candidates what your company stands for, you can show them the real vibe, the genuine moments, and the incredible people behind the scenes. These videos humanise your brand, creating personal connections that resonate with potential hires.

In a sea of generic recruitment ads, a standout video captures attention and leaves a lasting impression. Plus, they’re perfect for social media—engaging, shareable content that sparks conversations and drives interest. By shining a light on your authentic culture, you’ll attract candidates who not only understand your mission but are eager to be a part of it.

We briefed 3 different companies and chose MHF because we felt that they understood our brief straight away. There was immediate positive chemistry and a strong sense of confidence right form the start that they would deliver what we were looking for.

They had the foresight to communicate points that we might like to include and not to just work to brief. They went that extra mile and took the time to understand our business, the way we work and the people behind it so that our values were truly reflected in the video.

Based on the percentage of the video’s engagement, we saw that the majority of the people who have seen it, watch 100% of the video — which is pretty impressive. That’s because it’s so bloody engaging and the animation is so good. The final product definitely met the goals that we had originally laid out for them.

FAQS

What is an employer branding video?

An employer branding video showcases your company culture, values, and work environment to attract and recruit potential hires and engage current employees.

How can these videos help with recruitment?

Employer branding videos are a powerful tool for highlighting what truly makes your company unique. By showcasing your core values, culture, and day-to-day work environment, these videos serve as a magnet for candidates who resonate with your mission and are eager to contribute to your success. They not only compel the right talent—those who align with and are excited by your company’s vision—but also effectively repel those who may not be the best fit. This dual function ensures that you attract individuals who will thrive in your environment, while naturally filtering out those who might not align with your values, ultimately leading to a more cohesive and motivated team.

How much does a recruitment video cost?

The cost of producing a recruitment video varies based on several factors, including the video’s length, the number of filming locations, the quantity of interviews, and the inclusion of animations or graphics. The overall production quality also influences the cost.

At our recruitment video production company, we offer customized quotes tailored to your specific requirements and budget. Our pricing covers all stages of production, from initial concept development through to the final delivery of the video.

What is the process for creating a recruitment video?

Our video production process unfolds in four key stages: concept development, pre-production, production, and post-production. Initially, we work closely with you to craft a concept that aligns seamlessly with your employer brand and recruitment objectives. In the pre-production phase, we meticulously plan the logistics for the shoot. The production stage involves capturing the video using cutting-edge equipment and techniques. Finally, in post-production, we edit the footage, incorporating any necessary graphics or music to deliver a refined final product that powerfully represents your brand.

What types of videos do you produce for recruitment purposes?

At our recruitment video production agency, we understand that every company has unique recruitment needs and goals. That's why we offer a wide range of recruitment video types to suit different objectives. For those looking to showcase their overall company culture and values, we recommend employer brand videos. For those looking to attract candidates for specific job roles, we believe team or department videos are a great choice. Employee testimonial videos can be a powerful tool for showcasing your company culture through the eyes of your employees. We can also produce videos highlighting your company's diversity and inclusion initiatives, as well as videos showcasing your community involvement or company events. Whatever your recruitment needs may be, we're here to work with you and determine the best type of video to meet your goals.

What is the difference between an EVP video and an employer brand video?

An EVP video and an employer brand video are both types of recruitment videos, but they serve different purposes. An employer brand video is a high-level overview of your company's culture, values, and mission. It aims to give candidates an overall sense of what it's like to work at your company and what sets you apart from competitors.

On the other hand, an EVP video is a more targeted recruitment tool that focuses specifically on communicating your employee value proposition (EVP) to potential candidates. The EVP is the unique combination of benefits and rewards that an employer provides to its employees in exchange for their skills, capabilities, and experience.

An EVP video typically includes interviews with current employees, highlighting the benefits and rewards they receive from working at your company. It aims to showcase the unique aspects of your company's culture, benefits, and work environment that make it an attractive place to work.

While both types of videos can be used to attract and engage top talent, an employer brand video is generally more focused on building awareness and interest in your company as a whole, while an EVP video is designed to persuade candidates to consider your company as a great place to work based on the specific benefits and rewards you offer.

What types of companies have you worked with in the past?

At our recruitment video production company, we have had the privilege of working with a wide range of companies from diverse industries. Our clients have included dynamic startups, thriving small businesses, and well-established Fortune 500 companies. We approach each project with a fresh perspective and tailor our services to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual client. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, engaging videos that effectively communicate our clients' employer brand and attract top talent to their organisations.

How do you ensure that our employer brand is accurately portrayed in the video?

At the beginning of the video production process, we conduct a discovery session with you to gather all the necessary information about your company and employer brand. This includes learning about your company culture, values, mission, and vision, as well as your recruitment goals and target audience. We then use this information to develop a concept for your video that aligns with your employer brand and recruitment goals.

During pre-production, we work with you to plan out all the logistics of the shoot, including location, props, wardrobe, and talent. We make sure that all of these elements align with your brand and messaging.

During production, we take care to capture footage that accurately portrays your company culture and values. We also ensure that any on-camera talent reflects the diversity and inclusivity of your company.

In post-production, we edit the footage to tell a cohesive story that aligns with your brand messaging. We also add any necessary graphics, music, or voiceovers that support your message.

Overall, our goal is to create a recrutiment video that accurately reflects your employer brand and resonates with your target audience. We work closely with you throughout the entire process to ensure that your brand is accurately portrayed in the video.

How long does it take to produce a recruitment video?

The production timeline for recruitment video content can be influenced by several factors, such as the type of video, the number of locations involved, and the availability of participants for the shoot. Generally, the process can take anywhere between 4-6 weeks from the initial concept development stage to the final delivery of the video. During this time, we work closely with you to ensure that all aspects of the production are aligned with your recruitment goals and employer brand. We will keep you updated on the progress and any changes to the timeline, so you are always informed of the status of the project.

What is your process for incorporating feedback from clients during the production process?

We understand that incorporating feedback from clients is crucial to ensuring that the final product meets their needs and accurately portrays their employer brand.

To achieve this, we typically provide three rounds of revisions during the post-production phase of the project. This allows our clients to review the video and provide feedback, which we then incorporate into the final product.

During the first round of revisions, we typically make minor changes based on the client's feedback, such as adjusting the timing of certain shots or tweaking the color grading. We then provide a revised version of the video for the client to review and provide additional feedback.

In the second round of revisions, we work to address any more significant changes that the client may have requested. This could include adding or removing certain shots, reordering the structure of the video, or adjusting the pacing.

For the third and final round of revisions, we focus on making any last-minute adjustments or refinements to ensure that the video meets the client's expectations. At this point, we aim to have the final version of the video approved by the client and ready for delivery.

Overall, our goal is to work collaboratively with our clients throughout the production process and to provide a high-quality recruitment video that accurately portrays their employer brand and meets their recruitment goals.

How do you ensure that the video is accessible and inclusive to a diverse audience?

We understand the importance of creating videos that are accessible and inclusive to a diverse audience. To ensure this, we take several steps during the video production process. Firstly, we work with you to understand your target audience and any specific accessibility requirements they may have. This helps us tailor our production approach to meet those needs.

We also make sure to include closed captions in our videos to ensure that viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing can still follow along. Additionally, we use high contrast colors and clear fonts to make sure that the text is easy to read for viewers with visual impairments.

Another aspect we consider is the language and tone used in the video. We make sure to use language that is clear and concise and avoid using jargon or complex terms that may be difficult for some viewers to understand. Additionally, we strive to create a tone that is inclusive and welcoming to all viewers.

Overall, our goal is to create recruitment videos that are accessible and inclusive to all potential candidates, regardless of their background or abilities.

How do you ensure that the video is engaging and holds the viewer's attention?

We use a variety of techniques to ensure that the recruitment video is engaging and holds the viewer's attention. One way is by incorporating visually appealing graphics and animation that help to convey your employer brand and recruitment message in an interesting and memorable way. We also use strategic editing techniques to keep the pacing of the video dynamic and engaging, making sure that the video doesn't drag or feel monotonous. Overall, our goal is to create a video that not only communicates your message effectively but also leaves a lasting impression on the viewer.

Overall, our unique blend of creative and strategic expertise, along with our collaborative approach and commitment to client satisfaction, sets us apart from our competitors in the recruitment video production industry.

What role does a creative brief play in the recruitment video production process, and do I need one?

A creative brief plays a crucial role in the video production process, serving as a roadmap that outlines the project's objectives, expectations, and creative direction. It is an essential tool for both the client and the production team.

The creative brief helps:

  1. Clarify Objectives: It defines the project's goals and desired outcomes, ensuring everyone is on the same page regarding what the video should achieve.

  2. Set Expectations: The brief specifies the project scope, including timelines, budgets, and any technical requirements, which helps manage expectations.

  3. Guide Creativity: It outlines the creative concept, style, and messaging, giving the production team a clear vision to work from.

  4. Prevent Miscommunication: A well-defined creative brief reduces the risk of misinterpretation or misunderstanding throughout the production process.

As for whether you need a creative brief, it is highly recommended. Having a comprehensive creative brief enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of the video production process. It ensures that your vision aligns with the video production company's execution, resulting in a video that meets your goals and expectations.

How do i decide the type of recruitment video to make for my budget?

Our recommendation would always be to first think about your talent acquisition and recruitment goals.  Are there any particular roles you struggle to recruit for?   Do new recruits leave quickly during probation?  Do candidates know what your company does, where its offices are based?  Do employees understand growth paths in your Company or is there a leadership engagement issue?  

Understanding your top priorities will help you determine where to spend your recruitment video budget first.  

Another top tip is when you commission a large recruitment video project such as an employer brand video, which may include multiple employees and leaders as well as various locations that you maximise filming to shoot interviews with some of the employees featured that covers content that can be used in other videos, such as employee profiles, department profiles, office videos etc.
