What is a recruitment video?
A recruitment video is a short film that shows candidates what it is really like to work somewhere: the people, the work, the place and the reasons employees stay. It usually runs one to three minutes, lives on the careers page and in job ads, and is backed by shorter role-specific cuts.
Candidates are deciding whether they can see themselves in the role. A strong recruitment video answers three questions, and we build every film around them.
1Who would I work with?
Real colleagues and leaders on camera, in their own words.
2What is the work actually like?
The day-to-day, the setting and the tools, shown honestly.
3Why do people stay?
Growth, culture and community, told by the people who chose to stay.
What types of recruitment videos do you make?
Eight formats, all produced in house. Most programs combine a culture film with several role cuts.

How much does a recruitment video cost?
Recruitment video pricing comes down to how many employees you feature, how many sites or roles, and how many cuts you need. Each range is a bundled total: planning, filming and editing included.
| Package | Typical range | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| One culture day | $9,000 to $12,500 | Interviews and b-roll at one site, one culture film |
| Recruitment series, two days | $14,000 to $35,000 | Several roles or sites, a film plus role cuts |
| Multi-site program | Quoted per scope | Several locations, one consistent series |
| Extra role or social cut | $750 each | Additional role cuts or vertical versions |
Building your own scope? Pre-production from $500, a full production day at $6,000 to $8,000, and editing at $2,000 to $4,000 per finished video. These match our rate card and budget estimator. More detail in the recruitment video cost guide.

Recruitment video production FAQs
How much does a recruitment video cost?
Most recruitment videos cost $9,000 to $35,000. One culture day at a single site runs $9,000 to $12,500, a two-day series covering several roles or sites runs $14,000 to $35,000, and multi-site programs are quoted per scope. Extra role or social cuts are $750 each. These figures match our rate card and budget estimator.
How long does a recruitment video take to produce?
About four weeks from kickoff to final delivery, 28 days on average: planning and scheduling first, then filming, then editing and revisions. Multi-site programs are delivered in batches.
How long should a recruitment video be?
One to three minutes for the careers page culture film, one to two minutes per role video, and 15 to 30 seconds for job ads and social.
Who should appear in a recruitment video?
A mix of leaders, experienced staff and recent hires who reflect the roles you are filling. We help you choose and prepare them.
Do employees need a script?
No. We use guided interviews and coach people on the day, so they sound natural. Memorized scripts rarely work for recruitment.
Can you film physician and residency recruitment videos?
Yes. We have produced physician, specialty and residency recruitment films for Kaiser Permanente medical centers, filmed around clinical schedules and patient areas.
Can you film at several of our locations?
Yes. We plan multi-site shoots so every location is covered consistently, and quote travel beyond Southern California as a separate line.
What is the difference between a recruitment video and a brand video?
A recruitment video speaks to candidates about the job and the people they would work with. A brand video speaks to customers and partners about the company as a whole.
Where should we use recruitment videos?
On your careers page and job listings, in LinkedIn and social posts, in recruiter outreach, at career fairs and in offer and onboarding emails.
Can one shoot cover several roles?
Yes. We plan interviews and b-roll so one filming day produces a culture film plus short cuts for each role.
Do you handle release forms for employees?
Yes. We provide appearance releases for everyone on camera and work within your HR and communications approval process.
Who owns the recruitment videos?
You do. You get full usage rights to the finished videos, and the colour-corrected raw footage is delivered at no extra cost.
