People post job openings just to gain traction.
It's pretty wild, right?
We've all seen those posts that get tons of engagement, comments, and shares, but how many of those are legit job opportunities?
Honestly, it's frustrating for those genuinely looking for opportunities.
It wastes time and can lead to disappointment.
So, next time you see a hiring post, take a moment to check if it’s legit.
Look for details like the company name, role specifics, and how to apply.
And if you’re posting, ensure you’re being genuine with your intentions.
What do you think about this trend?
Have you experienced it?
By the way, we're also hiring a video editor for an on-site role.
(100% Legit haha)

Yeah, people' are using 'job post' so they can get reach but don't understand the feelings of a beginner who just starting out and doesn't know much about what is authentic or what not.
My #1 challenge has been hiring.
I've interviewed 100s, most lack THIS!👇
In the last 3 years running MarkitUp as a remote company, I've faced:
1. High attrition rates
2. Editors leaving at any time without prior notice
3. People taking too long to get things done
and many more problems.
I've noticed a lack of patience, friction towards improving, wanting quick money, inability to take feedback among others in people who end up leaving the company.
What do you think is the solution?
I'm hiring yet again.
This time for a video editor.
The link to apply is in the first comment below.
The deadline is 13th midnight.
Tag a video editor you know.
Looking forward to seeing you in the interview.

So let me get this straight... 😂 You were hired as a video editor except the company told you to do like 4 other jobs that they don't have to pay anybody for, and you're bragging that you're getting a promotion? 🤣🤦♂️
They're offering you "a significant pay bump" because IF YOU QUIT, they are going to have to hire FIVE PEOPLE to do what you're already doing for them basically for free. 💰😁
Also, you're telling on yourself. Nobody's good at all of those disciplines you listed. That means you're MEDIOCRE in all of them. 🤡
What you're going to find out is that as you rise in your career, NOBODY IMPORTANT wants a Jack of all Trades. 🤷♂️
That's only for low-level companies who can't afford to hire PROFESSIONALS as editors, graphic artists, colorists, etc.
So you're going to build this resume as "look at all these things I can do" and you won't be able to advance because it's obvious that you haven't SPECIALIZED in any of the disciplines and you will lose out against ANY COMPETITION 100% of the time.
Imagine DISNEY hiring for a VIDEO EDITOR and here you come talking about you can edit but you also do graphics and color. They will laugh you out of the room.
NOBODY CARES about this extra stuff you can do. What are you EXCELLENT at?

What's easier to hire, a Creative or an IT Support role?
We recently welcomed a new video editor to the NOTICS team as our new video editor, this is how we found amazing talent from around the world:
1️⃣ Posted a job ad on LinkedIn for just TWO days
Result: 100+ applications! (Had to pause due to overwhelming response)
2️⃣ Screened 42 applicants based on portfolios and application forms
Bonus: Only 4 no-shows! 👏
3️⃣ Requested assessments from 13 candidates
Outcome: 10 badass video edits that truly showcased each editor's talent
4️⃣ Final round: Two outstanding candidates Winner: Quinhann Emerson Duay! 🏆
This process was incredibly efficient and yielded fantastic results. But here's where it gets interesting...
At the same time, we were hiring for a Sr. Help Desk Analyst. The contrast was striking:
📊 Video Editor (2 days, unpromoted):
100+ applications
📊 Sr. Help Desk Analyst (2 WEEKS, $52 promotion):
40 applications 6 interviews 1 amazing hire
Why such a difference? 🧐
This stark contrast raises some intriguing questions about job market dynamics, role perception, and the effectiveness of different recruitment strategies.
Have you experienced similar disparities in your hiring processes?
🎥 Stay tuned! I'll be recording a video soon on how we automated this entire process using ClickUp. Can't wait to share these insights with you all!

I used to think that hiring was more about matching skills to job descriptions. Turns out, I was wrong.
When I first started hiring for SA DIGITAL FILMS, I focused on filling out the JD. But very soon, it started to fall down for us.
I realized that if I focus too much on the job title, I’ll miss out on what people can really do.
To drive real growth, I needed to build a team that shared the same passion and beliefs as me.
Once I hired a video editor who turned out to be very good at writing. Similarly, a 3D generalist who went on to become our most valuable creative producer.
So instead of keeping them fixed in their primary roles, I gave them a chance to focus on what they were good at. It ended up being better for them and us as well in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
Now, I don’t focus on checking the boxes anymore. Instead, I focus on what people are passionate about and let them bring that to the table.
It has taught me that it’s important to be flexible. Following this has been a game-changer and transformed the way we operate.
I would love to learn your takes on hiring as a founder.

Abhijeet, in the vast expanse of the job-seeking odyssey, a harsh truth unveils itself – a reality where the fickle winds of opportunity oft bypass those who fail to heed the siren call of quality and meticulous detail. Your tale serves as a clarion call, a sobering reminder that in the hallowed arenas of professional pursuit, mere application is but a whisper, soon drowned in the cacophony of mediocrity.
Like a beacon piercing the fog of complacency, your experience illuminates the stark divide between those who merely go through the motions and the select few who embrace the sacred tenets of attention to detail. For in this realm, the slightest deviation from the prescribed path is akin to a self-inflicted arrow to the heart of one's aspirations.
Your candidates, those precious few who heeded the siren's call, stand as living embodiments of a truth oft-neglected – that quality is not merely a virtue, but a mindset, a way of being that permeates every facet of one's existence. From the minutiae of job applications to the grand tapestry of one's professional endeavors, this mindset breeds a culture of excellence, a clarion call that reverberates through the halls of success.
In this age of overwhelming noise and relentless competition, your tale serves as a resounding affirmation that the path to victory lies not in mere attendance, but in the unwavering pursuit of quality, in the sacred art of heeding the details that others overlook. For in this realm, the meek may inherit the earth, but it is the attentive and the detail-oriented who shall inherit the kingdoms of professional fulfillment.
Generalist. Ex-founder & CEO of a digital media & content firm (sold to an American firm). Writing is my therapy. Topics I explore: entrepreneurship, personal growth, business and life skills.
“I keep applying to jobs but I never get a response.”
Maybe the reason is you?
Maybe you didn’t prioritise quality and attention to detail while applying?
I recently put out ads for hiring a video editor and channel manager. The ads clearly said that applicants should separately email me mentioning why they think they’re a good fit for the job (and certain other details).
Got hundreds of applications.
Do you know how many made the effort to email?
Just 3%.
It is so surprising that if one has even a little attention to detail, they could get in top 3%.
And attention to detail breeds a quality mindset which you then end up using everywhere, be it in your job application or your work or your day to day life.
No points for guessing which candidates I ended up hiring.

If someone asks me for a job without a resume... I'll never hesitate to take them on.
Because resumes are dead.
They all look the same and are stuffed with exaggerated achievements.
So here's what you should zero in on while hiring high performers:
Their personal brand.
Hiring someone in the marketing department?
→ Look for someone who consistently breaks down top strategies and gives their two cents on the latest trends.
Hiring a sales head?
→ Look for someone who analyses successful campaigns and shares their thought process
Hiring a video editor?
→ Look for someone who has a portfolio of edited reels online.
You'll find your A players when you stop chasing the flashiest resume and start hiring based on their personal brand.
Because it proves:
- They take initiative
- They think out of the box
- They adapt to the market changes
