Using Video for Staff Recruitment
Is your Melbourne business competing to attract and retain the best talent? Recruitment Videos are a powerful way of advertising the features and benefits of the role to candidates. Dream Engine regularly produces these type of videos for HR and People & Culture Departments, as well as Agencies.
Uncovering and capturing the unique aspects of the culture of a brand is a powerful way of creating content aimed at reaching the best potential future employees. Career video and photography content is a great way to share the story of your brand with prospective employees.

What is a Recruitment Video?
People and Culture Departments use video to attract potential candidates to apply for a job or to join the organisation. These videos showcase the culture, values, and work environment of the organisation. They may also highlight the benefits and opportunities that are available to employees. These types of video productions can be a useful tool for organisations to reach a wider pool of potential candidates, as they can be easily shared on Social Media and other online platforms. They can also be a helpful way for candidates to get a better sense of what it would be like to work for the organisation before they apply.
Here’s an example of this type of video that we produced for the HR Department at Fulton Hogan. It helps to show the culture of the business, and what it would be like to work there:
And here is another example of a video produced by Dream Engine to help find, hire and retain the best staff. It gives a potential job applicant a clear picture of what it would be like to work there:
