How to Make a Recruiting Video in One Lunch Break

You can make a recruiting video in one lunch break. You do not need a camera crew, a scriptwriter or an editing program. You need your phone, a few short clips of real work, and a bit of time during your break.

The idea is simple. You film small moments around the workplace during your break. Then you upload those clips to Relsko. The assistant asks a couple of questions, offers three concepts, and you pick one. Relsko then makes three cut variants of that concept, and you download the one you like.

What to film during your break

Keep it short and real. A recruiting video works best when it shows the place and the people as they are. You are not making a commercial. You are showing a candidate what a normal day looks like.

• A wide shot of the workplace entrance or the main room. - Two or three people doing their actual job, filmed from a safe distance. - One close-up of a tool, a product or a screen. - A short clip of the team talking or laughing during a break. - A view of the street, the parking area or the view from the window. - One clip of a person saying a single sentence to camera, such as "We are hiring." - A few photos of the building, the logo on the wall or the coffee machine.

Do not worry about perfect light or steady hands. Phone footage is fine. Relsko only uses what you filmed. It never adds stock footage or scenes that were not there.

Keep each clip between 10 and 35 seconds

Relsko works with clips that are 10 to 35 seconds long. That is a good length for a recruiting video anyway. A candidate will not watch a five-minute tour. They will watch a short vertical video on their phone.

Film in vertical mode if you can. The finished video is 1080x1920, which fits Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. If you already have horizontal clips, you can still upload them, but vertical footage fills the screen better.

You can upload up to 50 files at once, up to 200 per project, and each file can be up to 2 GB. That is more than enough for one lunch break of filming.

What happens after you upload

Once your clips are in, the assistant asks at most a couple of questions. It might ask what role you are hiring for and what tone you want. Then it proposes three concepts. A concept is a way of putting your clips together, with a suggested opening line and order.

You choose one concept. Relsko then makes three cut variants of that one concept. You watch them and download the one that feels right. You are not choosing between nine videos. You are choosing one idea, then one cut of it.

The opening line matters most. It is the first thing a viewer hears or reads. Something plain works well, such as "We need a driver" or "Come work with us in Brno." Avoid slogans. Say the job.

Text, language and captions

You can add text inside the video. The interface, the assistant, the speech transcription and the in-video text work in 16 languages. If you film in Czech, you can translate the finished video's text into any of the other 15 languages. That helps if you hire across borders.

Animated captions are in beta. Standard export is available to everyone. Publishing directly to social networks, dubbing and multi-client workspaces are in preparation. For now, you download the video and post it yourself.

A short checklist for your lunch break

• Pick one role you are hiring for. - Walk around for ten minutes and film six to eight short clips. - Add two or three photos. - Upload everything to Relsko. - Answer the assistant's questions. - Pick one of the three concepts. - Watch the three cut variants and download one. - Post it on your social channels the same day.

What not to expect

Relsko does not promise reach, sales or viral results. No tool can. It also does not promise a fixed processing time, because that depends on how long your footage is, how many captions you add and how busy the system is.

What it does give you is a finished vertical video made from your own footage, in a format you can post straight away. That is enough for a recruiting video. Candidates want to see the place and the people, not a polished advert.

When your break is over, upload your footage to Relsko, answer the short questions, choose one of the three concepts and download the cut variant you like best. You can register for 30 days of full access without a card. Invitations extend that period, and after it you keep a free level with a small watermark.
