Cultural fit plays an increasingly important role for companies in their search for suitable candidates. Employer branding and recruiting videos offer the best opportunity to showcase the corporate culture in order to attract the right candidates.

The right format for every purpose

How well does your target audience know you?

There are many different ways to shoot a video. The question of the appropriate video format must therefore be clarified. Various factors play a role here. Criteria for this decision include the budget, the desired effect, the message, the technology used and much more.

This decision-making process starts with the question of who the target group of your recruiting film is. Candidates who know your company are particularly well addressed by career films and testimonials. Candidates who do not know your company are best addressed by promotional and employer films.

A different perspective is adopted in order to present the corporate culture dynamically.

The advantage of the event film: no fixed content concept is necessary. The images are created during an event. There are no scenic representations and the event film appears more authentic than any other format. In addition, the images captured are more exciting than everyday work situations, which allows for dynamic editing. Distribution via social media channels increases the reach of the film.

The iceberg model

Edgar Schein analysiert die Unternehmenskultur auf
drei verschiedenen Ebenen, die im Film zum Ausdruck kommen sollen.

1. Artefakte

Artefakte sind sichtbar, greifbar, sie umfassen alle sichtbaren
Phänomene, zum Beispiel: Corporate Identity, Kleidung,
Statussymbole, Gebäude, Räumlichkeiten.

2. Werte, Normen und Standards

Ein Film enthält die Werte, Normen und Standards des
Unternehmens. Diese werden teils bewusst, teils unbewusst wahrgenommen und geben Auskunft darüber, was als wünschens-
oder erstrebenswert angesehen wird (z. B. Unternehmensphilosophie
und Vision).

3. Grundannahmen

Die Grundannahmen sind unsichtbar, unbewusst und werden als
selbstverständlich vorausgesetzt. Sie beschreiben die tief
verwurzelten Eigenschaften des Unternehmens. Durch eine
genaue Spiegelung der Grundannahmen im Recruiting-Film wird
dem Zuschauer ein Gefühl dafür vermittelt, wie es ist, für das
Unternehmen zu arbeiten.

The production process

Careful planning enables successful production
Speakbubbles Icon

01 Consulting

We offer you a no-obligation consultation. During this consultation, we will clarify questions such as the selection of the appropriate format. This phase is crucial because decisions made at the beginning have a greater impact on the final product than others. Hasty decisions can lead to mistakes that reduce your satisfaction. The more input we receive from you, the more meaningful your recruiting film will be.

Tipp:

Let us advise you first, then work on the idea. Not the other way around.

02 budget planning

The cost of a recruitment film varies greatly depending on the format, technology used, and time available. The advertising value that can be created with the help of a film can far outweigh the costs incurred. However, a larger budget does not necessarily mean the best result; rather, the right choice of format, technology, and idea is what brings success. These two factors must be carefully weighed up.

Tipp:

The clear definition of the budget determines the basis for the entire production.

Lightbulb

03 Development of ideas

Developing ideas is our strength. Depending on the format, different approaches can be taken. These range from an exposé illustrating the rough plot, to a script that provides detailed insight into the content, to an animated storyboard that gives you an accurate picture of the video as the final product. This allows us to give you a detailed picture of your recruitment film even before production begins.

Tipp:

Be brave and break new ground to achieve viral marketing potential.

Gear Icon

04 conzept

Once the idea development process is complete, the conception phase begins, along with the definition of content and intended core messages. Questions about the protagonists and extras are clarified. The search for a suitable location begins, it is clarified whether filming permits are required, and everything is prepared to create the optimal basis for smooth production.

Tipp:

Plan alternatives to the planned course of action. Bad weather or illness can always occur.

Camera Icon

05 filming schedule

Following the concept phase, the shooting schedule defines the entire production process: which location, at what time, with which protagonists, etc. The shooting schedule not only contains all sequences, but also important information about the plot and comments that are relevant for the entire team. This provides you and the entire crew with an overview that guides the complete implementation of the concept.

Tipp:

Delays can always occur. Therefore, allow for buffer times when reserving a room.

Play Icon

06 production

Production is at the heart of every recruiting film project. It is the process in which all ideas are implemented in accordance with the shooting schedule and the content defined in pre-production. Every team member knows their role, and even inexperienced protagonists are integrated to help them overcome stage fright and feel comfortable with us.

Tipp:

Please refrain from being present when recording original sound bites, as this puts pressure on the protagonists.

Text Icon

07 post production

Successful production is followed by editing. This determines the final composition of all the material in order to achieve the desired look. After the rough cut, the fine cut is carried out in consultation with you. This is supplemented by sound design, visual effects, motion design, and color grading.

Tipp:

A structured approach is important when implementing your change requests.

Ceckmark Icon

08 release of the video

Once the recruitment film has been completed and edited, we will provide you with your video in various formats so that it can be shown in perfect quality on different platforms such as cinema, television, YouTube, and other social media. Naturally, you retain all image rights to the video.

We offer a backup for 2 years. It contains all project files for easy later changes.
