Why recruitment video works

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 want the wider case, see our employer brand video work.

A recent Sydney recruitment shoot

We filmed a careers suite across a client's Sydney offices in a single day. One culture film for the careers page, three employee testimonials for the roles they were hiring into, and vertical cutdowns for LinkedIn and SEEK. They brief us once and the crew handled the rest, from settling nervous staff on camera to keeping to the schedule across floors.

We've filmed for names like PwC, Bunnings, Chartered Accountants ANZ and Sennheiser, so people are comfortable putting their staff in front of our camera.

Who it's for

We film recruitment video for employers hiring at volume or hiring hard, across sectors and sites.

Healthcare

Culture films that show care teams the reality of the ward, the roster and the support.

Government

Recruitment video for agencies hiring across departments and multiple sites.

Professional services

Employee stories that win graduates and senior hires against the big firms.

Tech

Fast, honest films for teams competing for engineers and product talent.

Retail and hospitality

Energetic day in the life cuts for high volume, high turnover roles.

Behind the scenes

We make the hard part look easy.

Why Zarco Creative for recruitment video

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.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What is a recruitment video and how does it help us hire?

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.

How much does a recruitment video cost in Sydney?

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. Book a call to get one.

How long should a recruitment video be?

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.

Do you use real employees or actors?

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.

How long does it take to produce a recruitment video?

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.

Can you film across multiple Sydney sites or interstate locations?

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.
