Corporate film in Kitchener-Waterloo: employer branding for a co-op recruiting cycle
Employers in Kitchener-Waterloo recruit on a schedule set partly by the universities. Co-op students from the University of Waterloo, Laurier and Conestoga move through four-month work terms, so companies present themselves to new candidates several times a year. Notlith makes corporate and employer brand films for that cycle and for the people you hope will stay, working remotely from your photographs, documents and approved statements.

A recruiting season every four months
The University of Waterloo's co-op program places students in work terms that start in January, May and September, and employers post roles through WaterlooWorks well before each term. A candidate may compare a long list of postings in a short window and remember very few.
A short employer film attached to your posting or careers page can answer what a job description cannot: what the first week looks like, who the student reports to, what they might ship or build. We script it from your real onboarding steps and keep it current by updating text, not the whole film.
Graduates deciding whether to stay
A graduate in Waterloo can commute to Toronto on the GO train or apply anywhere remotely. If your company wants to keep the people it trained as co-op students, the film has to explain why a career here makes sense: the scope of the work, the progression, the team.
We build that argument from evidence you can stand behind: real projects, real job titles, real benefits as written in your policies. We avoid lifestyle claims about the Region that you cannot support, and we never script a quote and attribute it to an employee who did not say it.
Factories and labs that cannot open their doors
Beyond software, the Region has manufacturers, insurers and research organizations whose floors, labs or client data cannot be shown freely. A corporate film for these companies often has to describe the work without filming it.
We use approved product photographs, diagrams, plans and carefully chosen interior shots, combined with motion design, to explain what your teams make or manage. Confidential screens are rebuilt with sample data. Anything that might reveal a client, a process or a site plan is checked with you before it enters the edit.
When your people need a real camera
An employer brand film is most convincing when employees speak for themselves. We do not generate staff or put words in a synthetic face. If you want interviews, those need to be recorded by a crew or in a well-prepared session with your own equipment.
We can then build the film around that footage, adding titles, product sequences and the structure that makes it usable on your careers page, on LinkedIn and at campus recruiting events. The quote sets out what we produce and what your team records.

Plan the details
Can one film serve both co-op students and experienced hires?
A shared master can, with separate endings. Students want to know about mentoring and projects; experienced candidates look for scope and progression.
Can you mention our university partnerships?
Only as you describe them and as the institution permits. We do not use university logos or names in a way that suggests endorsement.
Do you produce a French version?
Yes, if you recruit in Quebec or serve French-speaking clients. Captions and voice-over are prepared from your approved copy and reviewed by you.
How do we keep the film up to date?
We separate the parts that change, such as team names and open roles, into text layers or short inserts so they can be revised without rebuilding the film.
