What makes a great recruitment video?
Every recruitment video says the people are great and the culture is collaborative, which is why none of them are believed. The ones that work are specific and slightly unflattering: this shift starts at five, this job is physical, this team argues about things.
Candidates self select on honesty. A video that puts off the wrong applicants is doing its job. If the goal is internal culture rather than hiring, corporate video is the better fit.

Why us for recruitment video
The trick is filming real staff rather than the three people comfortable on camera. We shoot on the floor during a working shift, interview people at their station rather than in a meeting room, and keep the language they actually use rather than smoothing it into HR copy.
