What they did

Dunhill put faces in their job posts without a camera

Dunhill fills cleared federal IT roles: Secret, Active Secret, TS/SCI. LinkedIn rewards faces and motion, so they went looking for a way to make recruitment video without a shoot.

Their recruiters build the videos themselves on Dunhill's own template, then post them to the company page. Each one goes out three times: from the recruiter, from Dunhill, and from Rob. No media budget behind any of it.

The approach

Only the person is generated

An AI professional stands in for a real one, in a workplace that resembles the job. Everything else in the video comes from Dunhill: the vacancy details and the branded template RecruitmentAds built for them.

Service Desk Program Manager, Secret clearance. The person on screen is generated, not a Dunhill consultant.

The workflow

How every video on this page was made

Five screens, run by Hannah Hayden and the other Dunhill recruiters across about fifty open roles. Recruitment video with no shoot to book and no agency brief to write.

01

Start from a live vacancy

Paste the URL of a Dunhill vacancy. The page already holds everything the video needs: role, clearance level, location, salary band. No rewrite, no brief.

02

Pick who appears in it

The recruiter gets several AI professionals for the same role and picks one. Every variant sits inside Dunhill's own branded template, so nothing off-brand ships.

Everyone agreed it looks fantastic!

03

Add the voice-over

The recruiter picks an accent, then a male or female voice, and the voice-over is generated over the video.

04

Add the music

Music comes from a searchable library. Type a mood, audition tracks, lock one in and it is on the timeline.

05

Export it and post it

The export is a 1:1 square, fourteen seconds long. Dunhill posts it on their own company page.

Notes

What to know about this page

  1. 01

    The professionals in these videos are AI-generated stand-ins, not Dunhill staff, consultants or candidates. Dunhill's own people hold clearances and stay off camera by design.

  2. 02

    Both figures here are first-week results from February 2026. They show the format landing quickly at Dunhill. They are not a sustained average or a benchmark to plan against.

  3. 03

    Nothing was paid. These went out as ordinary posts on Dunhill's own company page, with no promotion behind them.

Who else this fits

You do not need a camera to put people in your job ads.

  • Healthcare
  • Defence & government
  • Security & infrastructure
  • Financial services
