Good people read your careers page before they apply. A wall of text tells them nothing about the room they'd be walking into. A short film does.
The evidence backs it up. Recruiters say video lifts both the number of candidates and the quality of them, and video gets shared far more than text on the same job. So one film works harder across every place you post a role. If you're building the wider picture rather than filling a role, see our employer brand video work.
Different roles need different films. We'll help you pick the right one, or run a small suite off a single shoot day.

Our work
Tell us the roles and roughly when you need it live. We'll map the films and send a fixed quote.
How we work
Five stages, all handled. You brief us once and give your feedback. We run the rest.
Tell us the goal, the audience and the deadline once. Jess turns it into a scope, a plan and a fixed quote, so you know what you are getting before anything is locked in.
We plan the shoot, shape the key messages with you, build the shot lists and lock the call sheet before anyone films. Locations, talent and logistics are handled, and we coach anyone nervous about being on camera.
An experienced crew runs the day to the call sheet and settles people on camera fast. Broadcast-grade cameras, audio and lighting, with backups for the backups. We came up through live news, so calm under pressure is the default.
We edit and finish, then send the cut through Frame.io so you comment straight on the frame. Two rounds of changes are built in. Social cutdowns are planned from the start, so one shoot works everywhere.
You get the final files in the formats you need, ready to go across every channel. They are yours to keep, no strings, no chasing.
For the Australian Turf Club, made with Bisley Workwear, we filmed the people who get Royal Randwick ready. Matthew Bassett on the grounds crew, Nigola Barrow coordinating events, Isaac Nanai on stable maintenance. Not actors reading lines about culture. The actual crew, named, in the workwear they turn up in.
We filmed across the operation in the spaces they work in: track preparation before dawn, irrigation and mowing, stable rounds, hospitality setup, then race day with the crowd in. The staff talk about the work and the film does the rest. See the film.
We've also filmed for PwC, Bunnings, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and Sennheiser, so people are comfortable putting their own staff in front of our camera.
Everyone asks the same first question. What actually happens? Here it is, brief to final files.
What roles you're hiring into, who's worth putting on camera, and what a candidate needs to believe before they apply. Half an hour is usually enough.
We schedule around your people, not the other way around. Each person gets a twenty to thirty minute window, so nobody loses a morning.
One crew, filming in your spaces. We light a room, mic each person and film the interviews while everyone's fresh, then cover the work itself across the floor or the site.
We cut the hero film for your careers page first, then build the short versions for job ads off the same day's footage.
You watch it in Frame.io and leave comments straight on the timeline. We make the changes, then send the final files.
One shoot, cut for every place a candidate meets you.
Not much, and we'll walk you through it on the brief call. Having these five ready is the difference between a smooth day and a slow one.
We film recruitment video for employers hiring at volume or hiring hard, across sectors and sites.
Culture films that show care teams the reality of the ward, the roster and the support.
Recruitment video for agencies hiring across departments and multiple sites.
Employee stories that win graduates and senior hires against the big firms.
Fast, honest films for teams competing for engineers and product talent.
Energetic day in the life cuts for high volume, high turnover roles.
Behind the scenes
Most of your staff have never been filmed. Ten minutes in they relax, and that's when the good line comes. So we don't rush the first take and we don't film people in front of an audience.
Oscar came up through live broadcast news at Network Ten, where an interview gets one go and there's no second chance. That's the skill we bring to a careers film. Ask the question, ask it again in different words, then wait. The second answer is the honest one, and it's the one that ends up in the cut.
We don't hand your people a line to read. It never sounds like them, and a candidate hears it straight away.
We film your real staff, never actors. That's the whole point, and it's what candidates can smell a fake from a mile off. Our crew came up through live broadcast news at Network Ten, so we're calm on set, we settle nervous people fast, and we get a real answer out of someone in one take. We're set up for multi site and interstate shoots, so a national employer gets one crew and one look across the lot. See how it sits alongside our corporate video production.
Proof
I’m really relaxed. Even at events I’m not at, I’m not worried at all. It’s set and forget.
They make our attendees feel comfortable on camera, and find ways to maximise the content on the day.
I had a partner, not a supplier. They were truly part of the team, across a four day, five week event.
Good to know
It's a short film that shows candidates what it's really like to work with you. Real people, real spaces, real days. Recruiters say video lifts both how many people apply and how good they are. It does the talking a job ad can't.
It depends on the number of films, the number of sites and days, and how many cuts you need for different roles. A single culture film is very different to a full careers suite across offices. Tell us the roles and the sites and we'll come back with a fixed quote. Get in touch.
Your careers page hero usually lands between 60 and 90 seconds. Role specific cuts for SEEK and LinkedIn are shorter, often 15 to 30 seconds. We cut the long film and the short versions from the one shoot.
Real employees, always. That's the whole point of a recruitment video. Candidates trust your own people, and they can tell when something's staged. Our job is to get honest, warm answers out of them, and years of live news experience means we do that fast.
Most jobs run a few weeks from brief to final files. Filming is usually a single day, then we edit with two rounds of review built in. If you're up against a hiring deadline, tell us the date and we'll plan back from it.
Yes. We're based in Sydney and film across the CBD, North Sydney, Macquarie Park, Parramatta, the Inner West and greater NSW, plus interstate for national employers. You get one experienced crew and one consistent look across every site.
A short brief call, then we build a run sheet around your day. One shoot day on site with one crew, filming interviews first and the work itself after. Then the edit, two rounds of review in Frame.io, and final files. Most jobs run a few weeks end to end, and the only day your team gives up is the shoot day.
Four to six voices is the sweet spot for a hero film. Enough that it feels like a real place, few enough that everyone gets proper time on camera. We'll film more if you're covering several teams, sites or shifts, and we'll tell you if the list is getting too long for one day.
Twenty to thirty minutes each, including the few minutes it takes to settle in. We build the run sheet around your roster so people come down, do their bit and get back to work.
Your spaces, nearly always. Candidates want to see the room they'd actually be walking into, and a real workplace does that better than a studio backdrop. We bring the lighting and the sound, so an ordinary meeting room works fine. A studio is there if you'd rather, and sometimes it's the right call for shift workers.
Most of them will be, and that's normal. We keep the room small, we don't rush the first take, and we ask the same question a second way once someone's warmed up. That second answer is usually the honest one. Nobody has to remember lines, because there are no lines.
No. We ask the questions and your people answer in their own words. That's the whole point. Scripted staff sound scripted, and a candidate can pick it in the first five seconds.
Yes, cut from the same shoot day. The hero film sits on your careers page and the short vertical versions go on job ads and social, so one day on site feeds every place a candidate meets you.
Yes, and a re-edit off footage we already have is a far smaller job than filming again. Tell us what's changed and we'll quote the cut. If you want the raw footage itself, we can hand it over on a drive, quoted with the job.
Based in Sydney, filming across the CBD, North Sydney, Macquarie Park, Parramatta, the Inner West and beyond. We travel across NSW and interstate for the right job.
