Recruitment and culture

Recruitment films, the real place.

Show candidates the real place and the real people before they apply.

A recruitment film shows candidates what the work is really like before they apply. Lumen Narrative handles recruitment and culture video production in Toronto for hospitals, universities, research teams and technology companies.

We film your own people in your own workplace, then cut one main film for your careers page and short versions for job posts, social and events.

Abstract trails of blue and violet light

Your people, your workplace.

The place and the people candidates will actually meet, filmed with the same craft as a brand film.

  • Careers page films
  • Job post and social cuts
  • Culture and day in the life films
  • Campus and graduate recruitment
  • Clinical trial recruitment

Where hiring is hard.

Sectors that compete for specialists, where the right candidate wants to see the work before they apply.

From first call to careers page.

Planned around your workplace and your people's time, with one point of contact throughout.

01

Discovery

We learn your world: the product, the audience and what the film has to achieve. Papers, demo and time with your experts, so the facts are right before a word is written.

02

Story and script

A story a newcomer can follow from start to finish. You see the outline, then the script, and nothing is filmed or animated until you approve it.

03

Production

Filming, 3D, motion graphics and data visualization, planned around your schedule and your people's time, with style frames and early cuts along the way.

04

Revisions

Review rounds agreed up front. Your team leaves notes directly on the film in Frame.io, and every change is tracked until the cut is signed off.

05

Delivery

The master plus every version you need: website, social, events, sales and archive. Captions, transcripts and source files included.

06

Support throughout

One point of contact from the first call to final delivery, and after it. A new cutdown, an updated number, a version for the next event.

Recruitment film production, answered.

What do you deliver with a recruitment film?
A main film for your careers page plus short cuts for job posts, social and events, all from the same shoot, with captions.
Who appears on camera?
Your own people, in your own workplace, so candidates see what the job is actually like. We plan the shoot around their schedule and keep the time each person gives short.
What do you need from us to quote?
The audience, the goal, the deadline, and whatever technical material exists. A white paper, a deck, a product page or a fifteen minute scoping call is usually enough for us to scope the production and come back with a plan.
How does review and approval work?
Review rounds are agreed up front, so there are no surprises. You approve the outline and the script before anything is filmed or animated, then your team leaves notes directly on each cut in Frame.io, and every change is tracked until the film is signed off.
Is everything done in house?
Yes. Scripting, production, 3D, motion design, sound and finishing are handled under one roof, so there is one standard from first frame to final delivery and one point of contact from the first call to the last version.
Where are you based?
Lumen Narrative is a film and video production studio in Toronto, Ontario. We serve clients across Canada and the United States, and plan travel, crew and site access around wherever the production needs to happen.

Show them the real place.

Tell us the audience, the goal and the deadline. A white paper, a deck or a fifteen minute call is usually enough to scope it.
