Hiring process is not only about hiring a person you work with, it’s about finding a person who make our company atmosphere happier. The person who make changes in every body thoughts. A kind, mindful, happy body, who helps everyone grow and achieve their dreams.

Nature, Environment & Wildlife Filmmakers, a deeply creative and meaningful capacity building-oriented storytelling organisation is hiring for two creative roles. If this is up your alley and you're keen on the community, vision AND have the skills to match. Please send a complete application to vacancies@newf.co.za All details on each role (included eligibility) is on our website and no resume-only applications will be considered. https://lnkd.in/gVzczfAi PS: For the first time ever, I took the time to send 21 individual responses to applicants who sent incomplete applications. Since Interviews kick off tomorrow, our team won't have the capacity to do this again. Wish we could because there are a few promising-looking resumes but a resume simply doesn't tell the story we need to understand whether an applicant can be shortlisted. PPS: Only 4 so far responded - I'll be looking out for their portfolio's because I appreciate the time these applicants have taken to invest in their chance of landing an interview. It's the little things!

Dear network, 🌐 I’m delighted to share some thoughts that may result in me getting fired or worse, never landing another job again. 😅 But hey, what’s life without a little risk, right? 🚀 The hiring process has always been a peculiar beast, and lately, it feels like it’s evolved into a chaotic maze where logic and fairness took a wrong turn and never came back. 🧩 If you're curious to dive deeper into the absurdities of modern hiring, check out my latest Medium blog post for more insights! And if LinkedIn fires me for this, at least I’ll have a great story to tell. Though, I might need to abbreviate it to fit within LinkedIn's VARCHAR(2975) limit. 😉

Big news, friends - our first full-time hire is coming on board next week. Here's how we approached this unconventional hiring process: 1. Lightning fast - Pinged him in the morning, had dinner together the same day 2. Vision alignment - Prioritize someone who truly gets what we're trying to achieve 3. Culture first - Focus on cultural fit before diving into skills 4. Genuine connection - Our dinner talk? LinkedIn, creators, family, and cricket - not the role 5. Ego at the door - Approached the conversation with humility and openness 6. Authenticity wins - Being easily approachable and open to real discussions The result? We found someone who feels like they've been part of our journey all along. I can't wait to see what we'll achieve together. Keep an eye on this space – I'll be sharing more about our new team member and our exciting plans soon. P.S. What's your best tip for welcoming a new hire?

Most of my followers won't ever hire me. But you might. Here's how you'll know: My clients are founders, executive directors, CEOs, high performers. They are also folks who: → Think about others more than they think about themselves.  → Have a deep desire to make this world into a better place. → Are deeply committed to their families, values, and faith.  → Often hold responsibility for everyone around them. That gets a little lonely. They could use some help. Folks I don’t help? Three come to mind: → I don’t help climbers, people who want the next role and more money → I rarely help people who haven’t had successful careers already → I never help people who don’t want great things for others I help founders who have built something. And are ready for the next thing. Or corporate folks who have risen the ladder. And are ready to leave to build something new. If you have a real itch to do something great.  One you keep trying to ignore but can’t. Send me a DM.  Let’s talk.
