Recruitment film and social media cutdowns for The Bread Factory. Produced, filmed and edited by Dreaming Fish Productions.
The client and the project
The Bread Factory are a London based wholesale bakery, who specialise in a range of homemade pastries and all types of bread. Looking to grow their team, in October 2021, they reached out to us in need of an engaging recruitment film. The film needed to showcase their talent, culture and broad career opportunities. Being big fans of pastries ourselves, we jumped at the opportunity to help. After speaking to their team, we had a better understanding of their vision and the key messages they wanted to include. The tone of voice for this video had to be friendly, creative and passionate; highlighting the things The Bread Factory care about including: people, passion, innovation, quality and service.
As there are so many job roles available at The Bread Factory (baker to driver, apprenticeships to warehouse) it was important for us to feature the different jobs in the recruitment video, to show diversity and variety. As a result, we interviewed 8 people, with different roles and asked them what they loved about their jobs. This gave us plenty of honest and personal reviews of the company, in a friendly and passionate way.
Behind the scenes
With the filming complete, we turned our attention to photography. Our talented photographer snapped photos of the chefs making a range of tasty treats, focusing on those super close macro shots. How yummy does everything look?
The recruitment film
Having signed off the recruitment film, we got started on the individual job role focused social media cut downs. These cutdowns gave The Bread Factory’s recruitment team plenty of content to play with. These videos were later shared on their website and across their social media channels, helping attract more applicants! Watch the recruitment film and two examples of the social edits we created below. A big thank you to The Bread Factory for having us, we loved seeing you all in action!

A recruitment film is your chance to show people who you really are. It brings your company culture to life, helping potential candidates see and feel what it’s like to be part of your team. Instead of just reading about your values, they get to experience them through real stories, authentic voices and genuine moments.
