5 Recruitment Videos To Take Inspiration From
November 7, 2019

Top talent is hard to come by, hard to attract, and hard to retain. However, achieve all three things and your organization will always stand to benefit. Today, that’s no longer a rare notion as the competition to recruit talent becomes increasingly fierce. Video will usually be your best bet to standing out amongst the crowd.

About a month ago, we shared five awesome recruitment videos that were quirky, unique, and sure to get eyeballs from the people who matter.. Here’s five more that we also loved:

ZenDesk

The narrator’s tone and repetition of the phrase “This is” fills this video with exactly what their brand promotes: “Zen.” It’s a comfortable, caring community portrayed by Zendesk, and the POV shooting puts you right in the seat of a new recruit. You feel like you’re there, taking a tour of the Zendesk office, meeting all the employees, and appreciating both the mundane and unique aspects of their workplace life.

Google

We’ve had a lot of funny videos, but this video from Google shows that there’s work and there’s play. What stands out in this video is when they mention how Google is very colourful, yes, playful, yes, but “it also feels very academic.” This video is targeted for recruiting interns, most of whom have known mostly an academic setting for most of their lives. The “campus lifestyle” Google presents in this video feels familiar and welcoming to exactly the people watching this video.

Apple

And now here is an example where we drop the jokes and focus on value: in this case commitment and perfection. It’s straightforward but the beauty of the video is that these views are coming straight from the employees themselves. They came to Apple with these core values and objectives and are excited to work with others that share the same mindset. When you’re thinking of your recruitment video, you should keep in mind that the best people to know who your company needs based on the environment are your employees themselves.

Animal Humane Society

We mentioned humour as the currency of the Internet. Where humour are like coins, authenticity are the gemstones. With more and more people living in their digital spaces but with so much content out in the world clearly trying to “sell something,” people are looking for real human emotion to connect to. This video from the Animal Human Society shares the great moments, the tough moments, the big and small moments, and shares a truthful look at what their lives are like.

GoPro

If you have a product to promote, why not use it in your recruitment video as well? GoPro’s Office Soccer video shows employees using GoPros and having a bit of fun in the office. There’s some branding for the bookends, but no one needs to give the GoPro any specific mention. You can tell they trust in their product. The video is still about the corporate lifestyle and we get to take a unique tour of the building.

Have these samples given you an idea, but you don’t know where to take it? We can help.  At Arc and Crown  we focus on and understand your recruitment audiences, and  create content  that speaks to them. If you have any questions about how we can help you,  give us a shout!

"Volunteer advocates are at the heart of Diabetes Canada’s efforts to bring about positive change. They represent the voice of the 11.7 million Canadians living with diabetes or pre-diabetes and speak for those who cannot speak up for themselves. Advocates help raise awareness of diabetes and the daily burden of living with the disease. They participate in Diabetes Canada advocacy campaigns and events across the country, and they help influence public policy by building relationships with elected officials in their ridings and promoting Diabetes Canada’s policy recommendations through their personal and professional networks. To support and grow this vital community, Diabetes Canada launched a new advocacy training series designed to make it easier than ever for people to get involved: Speak up & speak out Getting involved is easy Introducing Diabetes Advocacy 👉 Watch the videos and learn more here: DIABETES CANADA Bringing Advocacy to Life With Video Arc + Crown Media partnered with Diabetes Canada to help bring this important advocacy training to life through strategically designed animated videos, we helped make the training: 🎥 Clear and accessible Animation helped break down complex concepts into simple, visually engaging sequences, so viewers instantly grasp key ideas — like what advocacy is, how it works, and how they can participate. 📈 Action-oriented and motivating The pacing and progression were intentionally structured so someone watching could move from curiosity to confidence — ready to take action.

Video marketing continues to be a powerful way for professional services businesses to build relationships, communicate value, and connect authentically with potential clients. With more companies competing in digital spaces, your content must be thoughtful, professional, and designed to both engage and convert. Whether you're in accounting, law, consulting, or IT services, here are ten updated video ideas to help you stand out and strengthen your corporate communication strategy this year. 1. Launch AI-Driven Personalized Video Ads AI personalization is transforming video marketing. Create short, targeted video ads that adapt messaging based on viewer behavior or segment (e.g., small business owner vs. CFO). These videos perform well on platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, and they can be dynamically inserted into email campaigns or websites for maximum ROI. 2. Share Modern Client Success Stories Customer success stories are still gold—but in 2025, authenticity and storytelling are key. Focus on emotional storytelling and results-driven narratives. Use cinematic techniques, remote video capture tools, or even augmented reality (AR) elements to immerse viewers in your client's journey and how your service made a real difference. 3. Create Explainer Videos with a Corporate Edge Explainer videos remain essential but should now reflect your brand’s tone and professionalism. Use sleek motion design and branded templates. Consider producing industry-specific explainer series (e.g., “Tax Tips for Startups” or “Data Compliance for SMEs”) to demonstrate thought leadership and value. 4. Build Interactive Tutorial Videos Interactive video is a rising trend in corporate training and communication. Add clickable elements, branching scenarios, and built-in assessments to make tutorial videos more engaging and trackable. These are ideal for onboarding clients or guiding them through digital products and service platforms. 5. Live Stream Webinars and Internal Events Livestreaming isn’t just for public webinars anymore—use it for internal comms too. Broadcast leadership updates, town halls, or team celebrations. For external use, stream panels, roundtables, or client Q&As. Tools like LinkedIn Live, Zoom Webinars, and even custom internal platforms support high-quality broadcasts with audience interaction. 6. Use Animated Videos to Break Down Complex Topics Animation is now essential in simplifying corporate messages—especially in finance, legal, and tech. In 2025, use animated explainers not just for customers, but also for internal education, investor relations, or recruitment. Keep visuals clean, inclusive, and on-brand for professionalism and impact. 7. Create Motion Graphics for Microlearning Motion graphics videos (15–60 seconds) are great for sharing insights, facts, or step-by-step guides. These snackable videos are perfect for internal communications, compliance training, or highlighting service stats on social media. Add subtle kinetic text and icons to maintain clarity without overwhelming the viewer. 8. Design Data-Driven Infographic Videos Combine data visualization with narration or music to tell data-rich stories. Whether it’s market trends, client stats, or industry benchmarks, infographic videos are now expected in quarterly reporting, ESG updates, and performance reviews. Embed them into presentations or share as social content. 9. Showcase Company Culture with Behind-the-Scenes Videos Today’s clients and talent want to work with values-driven firms. Culture videos are now strategic. Highlight diversity, inclusion, leadership philosophies, or sustainability initiatives. Follow team members through their day, show off your remote or hybrid culture, or highlight community outreach projects. 10. Launch a Thought Leadership Video Series Create an ongoing series where your executives or subject matter experts share insights on current industry challenges. Use short episodes (2–3 minutes) with strong branding, intro/outro music, and subtitles. This builds credibility, boosts SEO, and aligns with 2025’s demand for expert-led content over pure advertising. Video is no longer optional—it’s an essential tool in both external marketing and internal corporate communications. From personalized outreach to interactive client education and internal alignment, businesses in 2025 that leverage strategic video content will lead the conversation and capture more attention. Start with one or two of these video strategies and scale from there. With the right message and format, video will not only help you generate leads—it will elevate your professional brand and deepen relationships in every direction.
