Recruitment Video Production in London

Blood Orange Film makes recruitment videos in London that show candidates what it is really like to work for you. We film your people in your workplace, in their own words, and turn one shoot into a hero film, longer interviews and short clips for your careers page and social channels.

What is a recruitment video?

A recruitment video, sometimes called an employer brand film, is made to attract job applicants. It usually features real employees talking about their work, with footage of the places they work and the things they make or do. It sits on your careers page, in job adverts and on LinkedIn, and gives candidates a reason to choose you.

How do you make people comfortable on camera?

Most employees aren’t used to being filmed, and that is fine. We don’t hand out scripts. We have structured conversations that let people talk about their own work and their own reasons for being there, with a small crew and a relaxed set-up. We also film the workplace itself, from the office to the factory floor. If you need company or leadership films too, we can plan them into the same shoot: see corporate video production.

Real people, not actors

Your people are the best advert for working with you.
For Hypervolt we filmed at their HQ and their manufacturing and distribution site over two days, and delivered a campaign film, eight long-form interviews and 30 social clips.

Recruitment video FAQs

How long should a recruitment video be?

A hero film of around 90 seconds works well for a careers page or campaign, with longer interviews for people who want detail and short clips for social feeds.

Where should we use recruitment videos?

Your careers page, job adverts, LinkedIn and other social channels, recruitment events and onboarding. Planning the formats at the start gives each placement the right version.

Can you film at more than one site?

Yes. The Hypervolt project covered both their office HQ and their factory over two days.

Will our employees need to learn lines?

No. We use conversational interviews, so people speak naturally in their own words.
