We've all seen the power of XR in marketing, training, and engineering, but HR shouldn't be left behind! Augmented Reality (AR) can be a game-changer for hiring and onboarding, injecting a tech-forward vibe into your processes. Take Unilever, for example! They're leveraging web AR to offer students access to a virtual career fair with interactive booths and a dynamic experience. Ditch the static presentations and videos. AR offers a dynamic, interactive experience that boosts engagement and retention. Imagine new hires: 🔥Learning the ropes with interactive 3D models of your workspace or equipment. 🔥Practicing procedures in a safe, virtual environment before hitting the real world. 🔥Meeting colleagues through AR avatars, fostering connections from day one. AR isn't just flashy – it's proven to be more efficient than traditional methods. Studies show increased knowledge retention and faster task completion. #HRtech #AR #innovation #thefutureofwork #digitaltransformation #hr

Read the article and it pertains to campus recruiting, not so much mid-career or experienced hiring. I doubt that headhunters, unless they work for a mammoth like Recruit, are turning to Metaverse right at the moment. #campusrecruiting #recruiting #metaverserecruiting

📘 The Untold Story of Jack and Diane’s Career Prep Magic 📖 Meet Jack and Diane—two educators making a difference every day. Jack is a #teacher who loves turning lessons into real-life skills. When his students, like Johnny and Jane, connect what they learn in class to future careers, Jack knows he’s done his job. But he faces some challenges. With a packed curriculum and limited resources, fitting in career readiness activities isn’t easy. He’s always racing against the clock, trying to make every moment count. ⏰ Diane, the guidance #counselor, is the go-to person for career and academic advice. She’s passionate about helping students discover their paths and build confidence. Organizing career fairs and job shadowing is her forte, but it comes with logistical headaches. Juggling schedules, permissions, and transportation for each student can be overwhelming. She wishes she could give every student the personalized attention they need. 🚌 Enter Virtual Reality (#VR). For Jack, VR means turning his classroom into a hub of career exploration without needing extra time or resources. Jane can dive into virtual healthcare simulations right from her desk, learning hands-on without leaving school. 🚀 For Diane, VR eliminates the logistical nightmares. Students can engage in virtual job shadowing or gain more hands-on experience without safety risks, and she can track their progress and provide personalized guidance—all in real-time. 📊 With VR, Jack and Diane can help their students explore career paths in a whole new way. It’s about breaking down barriers and giving every student the chance to find their future, no matter the limitations. Jack and Diane might be best known from the John Mellencamp song, but in education, they're on the front line of connecting students from classrooms to careers. Curious how VR can revolutionize career readiness in your school? Let’s connect and explore the possibilities! 🤝 #CareerReadiness #VirtualReality #Education #FutureOfWork

With loads of fantastic questions coming through, I decided to do a double drop of 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 🎮 this week! Many of you are wondering how I transitioned my background in recruiting into the games industry. And understandably, many of you are looking for tips on getting into PlayStation (or a large AAA studio/publisher). So here’s the tea 🍵   Big companies like PlayStation have such a robust intern program that much of the entry-level and junior roles are hired through their internships. That meant that I needed to already have the skills and experience going into the role vs. the flexibility of a smaller company or studio that is willing to train someone up.   I was also willing to take a step back in title, understanding that I had never recruited for a large games company, or for games in general. As such, I accepted a 4-month contract as a University Recruiter. Honestly though, I was perfect for that job. Why? Because I had 3 years’ experience in higher ed and 3 years' experience as an agency recruiter. All that was left was to prove myself and prove myself I did.   If you’re a recruiter looking to get into the games side, my suggestion would be to have a solid understanding of the space (industry, candidates, AND programs/systems/tools) before you start applying. Research what’s going on in today’s market, who are the players, what games are they making and who are they hiring? Get a basic understanding of the programs and tools being used so you can have solid conversations with candidates. It makes a huge difference when you can nerd out with your candidates about their day-to-day work. It’ll also ensure your success when qualifying candidates for roles and building trust and respect with your hiring teams.   Thank you Mason Whittle, Mayank Chauhan, Thomas Carhuff, and Balajhi Shanmugam Selvakumar for your questions!   And keep ‘em coming! https://lnkd.in/gxBeZXm6   📸If you’re a grunge-goth like me then you know damn-well what happened 30 years ago this month. #Forever27🤘 #VideoGames #GameDevJobs #Recruiter #Recruiter #Careers #RepresentationMatters #AskAlexAnything _________________________________________________________________________________   👽REMINDER: I’m actively looking for my next exciting opportunity in #Recruiting and #TalentAcquisition leadership! #OpenToWork

I'm not getting any interviews! I hear this from 20+ people every day. Here’s one reason why: maybe your resume just isn’t strong enough? And I don’t mean the format—I’m sure you’ve got that dialed in. I’m talking about experience. Maybe it’s not there yet. So what do you do? 🔨 Build experience. If you’re in tech, build a killer side project. If you’re in marketing, make UGC content and post it on TikTok. If you’re in UI/UX, re-design popular websites and put together a sleek portfolio. Then—post it! Build in public, make a personal brand and show off your progress on Twitter, LinkedIn, wherever your people are. Let the world know how awesome you are! This strategy helped me land my Tesla internship → Intern Guys. Bonus? That side project turned into a startup :) #career #jobsearch #interviews #buildinpublic #resume #internships #InternGuys
