Recruitment video production built to attract candidates and grow your employer brand
Strong hiring starts before the application. Our recruitment video production helps candidates understand the role, the team, and the culture, so the right people apply and the wrong ones self-select out. Instead of a generic job post, we turn your workplace into content: what the work actually looks like, who they would work with, and why people stay.
To see how this works in practice, explore our recruitment and staffing video case studies.

Employer branding and EVP videos
Your employer value proposition (EVP) is the reason a great candidate chooses you over a competitor with the same salary. An employer branding video makes that reason visible. We produce culture films, leadership and employee-story pieces, and day-in-the-life series that show what it is actually like to work with you, the people, the pace, the purpose. For a flagship employer brand film, we blend the footage you have with original animation. We have built this kind of employer-brand and recruiting content for organizations like Johnson & Johnson, Mayo Clinic, PBS-WHYY, and PHMC, alongside high-volume recruiting series for The Judge Group and Healthcare Services Group.

Why video is such an effective recruiting tool
One production re-cuts for social media animation, careers pages, and job posts, whether it is a quick clip or a full corporate animated video series. Employer brand films usually run 1 to 3 minutes; job-specific and social cuts run 30 to 90 seconds.
Higher response
Candidates engage with a role they can see far more than one they only read, so video job posts tend to lift application rates.
Better fit
Showing the real role and culture upfront means the right people apply and the wrong ones self-select out, which improves retention.
Reusable
One shoot becomes social cuts, careers-page embeds, and job-post clips, so a single production works across your funnel.
Reach
Video travels where candidates already are: LinkedIn, TikTok, your careers page, and individual job posts.

Pricing
What does recruiting video and animation cost?
Animation gives training video production programs a high degree of flexibility, allowing projects to scale up or down depending on the communication goals.
- Long-form work is typically simpler visually and most often appears in structured training programs designed to scale across organizations. This results in vast savings over time, with rates starting at a few hundred dollars per minute.
- Short-form videos are more visually intensive and fast-paced, with pricing influenced by factors like the number of scenes, illustrations, and animation complexity.

Planning a recruiting animation internally?
Before production begins, one of the most important questions is simple: how long will the final video actually be? Our free script timer tool converts written scripts into estimated video runtimes so teams can quickly understand the scope of a project. This makes it easier to plan production timelines, estimate costs, and evaluate whether a concept fits the available budget.

Recruitment video production FAQ
