This recruitment video in one word: FUN. That's the vibe I feel like we're giving a potential hire. Makes you wanna join their team. Editing this was fun too. From the choice in music, the smiling faces, it all just comes together in a really cool way. #videoproduction #videoediting #recruitment

What happens when you let your Gen Z employee write, film, and edit your newest marketing content? 🤔 Magic. That's what happens 😁 And the best part? My resume-review and headhunting skills are EVEN better than my marketing ones 😎 P.S. I nominate Travis Miller for best Lead Actor in a short film P.S.S. The long-awaited name reveal is at the end so stay put! 😤 #Recruiter #GenZMarketing #MillerResourceGroup #NewOpportunities #Hiring

This happens enough with 🎥 interviews that I had to do a post about it. Below is an “editing room” shot from a recent interview with a VERY nervous executive (who will remain anonymous). Too many biz leaders will never talk about your company on camera because, well, you know you just aren’t very good on camera 🤷🏼♂️ Fear not. Just speak freely. Be yourself. I clean up 99% of interview tracks anyways. Nervous ticks and tendencies are fixed “in post” by placing your audio track and cutting out your pauses (see the lines vertical below), the ums, uhhs, errs, stutters, and blend it all into clearly delivered thoughts. #videocontent #creativeagency #productionlife #videographer #filmmaker #branding #brandcommunications #editor #helicopter #avgeek #aviationmarketing #sportsmarketing #protip

How Getting Fired Helped Me Grow I used to work for a news casting company, and I was really passionate about my job. But when I asked my boss for a raise, she told me that if I wasn't satisfied with my current salary, I could leave. I was taken aback, but I decided to take a step back and assess my situation. I realized that I had achieved everything I set out to do that month, and it was time for me to move on. So, I sent my boss a message thanking her for the opportunity to work with her company, but I told her that I couldn't continue working for her anymore. And guess what? She was fine with it! I have to admit, I felt a little bad about leaving. I needed the money, and I loved my job. But sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith and trust that everything will work out. After I left the company, I decided to focus on building my skills. I applied for courses in speaking, writing, and video editing, and I worked hard to improve myself. A few months later, I got a call from my old boss asking me to come back to the company. She offered me a raise, and I was tempted to go back. But I had grown so much as a person and as a professional that I knew I deserved better. That's when it hit me - rejection is not always a bad thing. Sometimes, it's the push you need to grow and move forward. Don't be afraid to take risks and trust that everything will work out.

It is hard to have a conversation with a cyclops... When interviewing or being interviewed, a friendly conversation yields the best results. But how can that be achieved when the one-eyed-camera-monster is staring at you, or worse, if there are more! Here we share the top 2 ways we achieve personable interviews at BSP and slay that scary cyclops! https://wix.to/3RsBAYw #videography #interviewing #authenticity

Unsolicited take for today: When hiring, we should all be looking beyond the piece of paper. Who is the person? What is their vibe? Their work ethic? AND, if they don't check all the skills boxes, what skills do they have that are applicable and can translate? Some of the best entry level hires I've made over the years were the law students that realized it wasn't for them, the party planner that hadn't worked in TV, the drywall apprentice that wanted to be a set PA etc. The same applies, to a lesser degree, as you move up the chain. Maybe that producer hasn't done the EXACT show you are hiring for, or supervised the EXACT genre you need your new exec to supervise...but do they know how to make good TV? Are they creative? Are they strong leaders? THAT is harder to find. You can teach a smart true crime producer to do home reno, or teach a smart studio producer to work on a docu-soap or help casting - if they have the drive, attitude and intelligence to adapt. I've been lucky to work in virtually every genre - from doc to live to game, crime, relationship etc. down the line. But, every time I tackled a new genre it was because SOMEONE had the guts to say, "This guy hasn't done this exact this project before, but he's tackled x, y & z successfully so let's give him a shot." When I came off TRL and Seacrest I was the "live talk guy", UNTIL someone trusted me to do my first docu-series. Then I was the "docu-series" guy UNTIL someone trusted me to create my first big house show format, then I was the "relationship house guy" until.... and so on. Often you are moving fast, need a job done and need assurances, I get it. But when it's not a "do or die" situation, take a beat. If we only hire people that check the exact boxes of said project or role we are always pulling from the same talent pool, not letting fresh ideas and techniques in, and not innovating as best we can. Both sides are missing out. There are lot of talented people out there that can do the job you need, even if they don't meet the exact criteria on paper. I'm not saying this to preach, it is something I am always working on as well. But something I wanted to share. Do with it what you will....

I know many people are looking for jobs, and it's a buyer's market, but here are some reasons I said no to studios. Regardless of the market, the best talent will have other offers, if your hiring sucks you're losing out. 1. Toxic workplace "The team is great but" "we have a start-up mentality" "leads are resistant to process" 2. Misleading job title "As a senior producer, you'll be managing a small part of this team" 3. The process is too long I'm not saying rush the process but if you take a month or more to interview, you'll lose out on people with other options 4. Secretive about the project I'm not going to join a project I know nothing about. Sort out your NDAs. Also if you tell me if you can't tell me why you need to backfill this position because it's personal, it's a red flag. 5. Disrespectful recruiter If I don't feel respected as a candidate that's a huge red flag for the studio. If you can't pretend to be a great place to work at that stage I don't want to know what's behind closed doors.
