In the fast-paced world, organisations are constantly seeking fresh ways to attract top talent. Inspiring Support, a care company committed to enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities in East Anglia, had already found that video serves as a compelling tool in their business. So when they decided that they needed to attract more staff their first thought was to create a recruitment video with Offset Films.

The Power of Recruitment Video's to Convey Emotion


In a sea of typical ads that fail to resonate, Inspiring Support leverages the emotional storytelling potential of video. This medium enables them to share genuine experiences and create a strong connection with potential candidates.


For instance, incorporating heartfelt testimonials from not only the care workers, but also the support staff in Human Resources, Health and saftey and compliance show how Inspiring Support go the extra mile for their employees. One staff member, shared how they helped a young man gain confidence by learning independent living skills. This story not only showcases the daily challenges and successes but also highlights the deep emotional bonds formed through care. By using visuals to tell stories like this, Inspiring Support encourages people driven by empathy to join their mission.


The emotional pull of video makes it easier for recruits to imagine themselves making a meaningful contribution. It is not merely about filling positions; it is about attracting individuals deeply aligned with their values.


Connecting with a Broader Audience


Video content allows Inspiring Support to engage a wider audience than traditional recruitment methods ever could. Standard job postings often get overlooked, while an engaging recruitment video can be shared across social media, reaching potential candidates who might not have considered a career in care.

By investing in video, they bridge the gap for those unfamiliar with care work, showcasing the joy and fulfilment that comes from supporting others. Statistics reveal that 68% of job seekers prefer video content over text to learn about a company, reinforcing the importance of their strategy.


Showcasing Values Through Storytelling


At the core of Inspiring Support’s mission are values such as care, respect, and fostering independence. Video serves as an effective channel to convey these principles in an engaging manner. For example, the recruitment video emphasizes their belief: “Supporting individuals facing disability or hardship is a privilege, and we honor that responsibility.”


Viewers see how staff encourage independence while providing vital support, resonating with those interested in meaningful, values-driven careers, the chance of promotional and the learning of new skills. The emotional depth conveyed through video enables a stronger connection than traditional media.


The Call for Change in the Care Sector


Inspiring Support’s use of video reflects a broader recognition of the evolving landscape in the care sector. They aspire to be the leading supported living provider in East Anglia, and they understand that attracting new talent requires creative approaches.


Facing recruitment challenges, especially in regions like East Anglia, video allows them to humanize the recruitment process. They look for individuals who are passionate about making a difference in people’s lives. The recruitment video not only details daily tasks but highlights the vibrant culture and fulfilment that accompanies working at Inspiring Support.

Inspiring Support’s decision to embrace video as a recruitment tool underscores their dedication to attracting the right people to uphold their mission. This approach balances creativity and authenticity, giving voice to those who work there.
