Healthcare recruitment videos

Films that help a health system hire: physicians, nurses and residents saying why they stay, filmed on site and around clinical schedules. Recruiting is a marketing problem, and this is the asset that moves it.

How a recruitment shoot runs

Six steps from scope to delivery, and about four weeks from the shoot day to the final film.

  1. Planning a healthcare recruitment shoot
    Scope and approvalsWe agree the roles, the sites and who signs off: talent acquisition, marketing and the department heads whose staff appear.
  2. Staff release paperwork before a healthcare shoot
    Releases before camerasStaff releases and usage terms are agreed before the shoot day, and we film under your own consent process where patients are anywhere near frame.
  3. Planning a recruitment shoot around clinical shifts
    Site and shift planningWe build the day around shift changes and clinical schedules, so nobody is pulled off a floor at the wrong moment.
  4. Small crew filming healthcare staff on site
    Filming on siteA small crew and short call times. We interview staff rather than script them, because candidates can tell the difference.
  5. Editing a healthcare recruitment film
    Edit and reviewFirst cut, two rounds of notes, captions, and the vertical cuts your job ads and careers page need.
  6. Delivering finished recruitment video files
    Deliver and protect the footageMasters, web files and social cutdowns, with footage access limited to the people you name.

What healthcare recruitment video production means here

Healthcare recruitment video production is the making of hiring films for health systems, hospitals, clinics and public health employers: employer brand films, department and service line films, staff and clinician story batches, residency and training programme films, and the short cuts that run inside job ads. 7 Hills Productions has produced this work for Kaiser Permanente and Kern County, from a base in Irvine, California.

Clinicians are recruited by the work and the people, not by a benefits list. The films that work are the ones where staff talk without a script.

1Who is it for?

Health systems and hospitals, specialty departments and service lines, clinics and physician groups, residency and fellowship programmes, and public health employers.

2What does it cost?

$6,000 to $12,500 for a recruitment film. Filming several staff stories across one day runs $6,000 to $18,000 and costs far less per story.

3How long does it take?

About four weeks from the shoot day to the final film, with two rounds of notes built in.

Why health systems hire us for this

We film around clinical shifts

The day is built around rotas and shift changes, so nobody is pulled off a floor at the wrong moment.

Staff speak for themselves

No scripts. Candidates can tell the difference between a clinician talking and a clinician reading, and so can we.

Patients stay protected

Where patients are anywhere near frame we film under your consent process and clear protected health information as we go.

One visit, several assets

Staff stories, a facility tour and the paid cuts from the same day. That is what makes a campaign affordable.

We have done it at regional scale

Kaiser Permanente across Woodland Hills, Fontana and the High Desert, plus a county public employer.

Cuts built for where hiring happens

Job ads, LinkedIn and campus. Vertical and short as standard, not as an afterthought.

Healthcare recruitment video FAQs

How much does a healthcare recruitment video cost?

$6,000 to $12,500 for a single film. A batch of staff stories filmed in one day runs $6,000 to $18,000 and costs far less per story.

How long does it take?

About four weeks from the shoot day to the final film. Booking usually runs two to three weeks ahead so the day sits between rotas.

Will filming disrupt clinical work?

No. A small crew, short call times and a schedule built around shift changes. Staff are on camera for well under an hour each.

Do you script the staff?

No. We interview. Candidates can tell when a clinician is reading, and a scripted recruitment film does the opposite of what it is for.

What if patients are in the background?

We film under your consent process and clear protected health information from frame on the day, exactly as we do for patient stories.

Can you film at several sites?

Yes. A multi-site campaign runs $18,000 to $45,000 depending on how many regions and how many finished films.

Do we get cuts for job ads?

Yes. Vertical and short cuts are standard, and additional ones from the same footage are $750 each.

Can you film residents and fellows?

Yes, and programme films are usually longer, two to five minutes, because the audience is choosing where to spend several years.

Who owns the footage?

You do. You get the finished films and the masters, and access to the raw footage is limited to the people you name.
