Overview of the Social Worker Recruitment Video:
Working closely with our Bexley client, Shootlab were commissioned to produce a 3-minute recruitment Video and accompanying social media edit. Bexley needed to find more staff for their social worker team and having a video that talks about the role and shows the work place environment would be an invaluable tool for attracting staff.
Through interviews with practicing social workers and management and shots of the building, viewers gain insight into a day in the life, from assisting families in crisis to helping seniors access care. Key elements include candid storytelling from social workers, evocative visuals of client interactions, and an inspiring musical score. The video concludes by emphasizing social workers' incredible impact despite the difficulties, speaking to potential recruits in a genuine way.
Behind the Scenes: Collaborative Creation
From conceptualisation to completion, our team devoted extensive time to crafting an authentic and moving film. We worked closely with stakeholders to fully understand their goals and target demographic. Location scouting ensured compelling backdrops for interviews and dramatic recreations. We invested significant effort connecting with social workers to share their real experiences.
Meticulous planning and attention to detail was essential for capturing authentic footage. Our passion and persistence paid dividends in post-production as hours of footage were edited into a cohesive narrative.
Resonating with Audiences
Since its release, the recruitment video has surpassed expectations. The client has also seen a marked increase in applicants, especially from top candidates. They credit the video for realistically conveying the profession and inspiring passion. We are extremely proud of the impact so far. Several have even shared that the experience even inspired friends and family to consider social work.
Why Recruitment Videos Are Crucial Today
In a competitive hiring landscape, compelling yet honest recruitment videos give companies an advantage. Not only do they strengthen employer brands, but they allow candidates to fully visualise themselves in a role. An effective video inspires and pulls at heartstrings.
According to research, job listings with accompanying videos enjoy higher application rates and engagement compared to those without. Videos enable employers to showcase culture beyond a traditional job ad. For candidates, especially millennials, culture fit is a top priority.
