Recruitment Video Production for Rise Technical Recruitment: Building Careers, Capturing Culture
When Rise Technical Recruitment approached us, it was clear they needed a film that went beyond the standard recruitment video. This wasn’t just about filling vacancies—it was about showcasing their dynamic culture, global ambitions, and the incredible career opportunities they offer.
At Here Now Films, we deliver enterprise and corporate films of all shapes and sizes—working with businesses across tech, sustainability, and beyond to tell their unique stories. This time, we were tasked with creating a film that would help Rise attract top-tier talent and stand out in a competitive recruitment industry.
Meet Rise Technical Recruitment
If you haven’t come across Rise yet, they’re based in Bristol but operate globally—think UK, US, Canada, Europe. They specialize in connecting skilled professionals with industries like green energy, construction, and tech.
But Rise isn’t just about matching people to jobs. They’ve built a workplace where progression is fast, collaboration is second nature, and big earning potential is genuinely achievable. With a focus on empowering their team to grow and succeed, they wanted a recruitment film that reflected their energy, ambition, and values.
The Brief & Deliverables
Rise’s brief was to create content that was as bold and energetic as the company itself. The focus was on authenticity—no clichés, no generic corporate fluff. Here’s what they needed:
A hero recruitment film: A high-energy, visually engaging 90-second video that captured the essence of Rise’s culture and opportunities.
Success stories: A set of short-form interviews with team members, showcasing real-life experiences of progression, learning, and achievement within the company.
These films were aimed at attracting talent across all levels, from fresh graduates to seasoned professionals, while reinforcing Rise’s position as a leader in recruitment.
The Creative Process
Every great film starts with collaboration, and this one was no different. Through creative workshops, we:
Pulled references and shot-listed ideas to ensure the visuals aligned with Rise’s bold personality.
Crafted messaging that highlighted Rise’s unique selling points: career growth, earning potential, and global opportunities.
Developed thoughtful interview questions to draw out compelling, personal stories from team members.
This collaborative approach ensured the final films would be rooted in authenticity, delivering maximum impact for Rise’s audience.
Production Day: Packed Schedule, Big Energy
We delivered the shoot with a tight two-person crew, maximizing the schedule while keeping things smooth and efficient. The day was carefully planned to balance creativity with practicality:
Morning: Capturing the office vibe—team meetings, energetic working shots, and those human moments that bring Rise’s culture to life.
Midday: Interviews with team members. We created a professional yet approachable setup to ensure natural, engaging responses.
Afternoon: Staged team-building moments—think lively ping pong matches and relaxed conversations in breakout areas.
Wrap-up: Final shots to tie everything together visually and narratively.
The Deliverables
When we wrapped, we delivered:
A 90-second hero film that’s dynamic, polished, and perfectly aligned with Rise’s brand.
Four short-form success stories that showcase team members’ real experiences and growth journeys.
These assets were optimized for use across social media, careers pages, and job boards—helping Rise amplify their recruitment efforts and attract the right talent.
