Recruiting in Motion has pioneered a unique tool for the search industry, making the hiring process more efficient for our clients. Our Visual Advantage System, provides the following clear and proven benefits: ·       As opposed to only receiving a candidate’s two-dimensional resume, a short video clip along with unique profile notes (based on an extensive interview) and resume are provided. ·       This provides a complete picture, allowing hiring managers to see and hear each candidate present themselves so their communication skills and fit can be assessed prior to interviewing them. ·       Our system saves time and resources (a rare commodity these days) for busy hiring managers. Please view this short whiteboard video at https://lnkd.in/gjV5vJa8 which explains the concept in detail. Let's connect and chat about how we can efficiently bring the best people to your team.

🎬✨ Ready to make a stellar impression with your next job application? Casting directors are on the lookout for the perfect fit, but this looks different for each company, show, etc. BUT! You can prepare by having these materials on hand: 1️⃣ Different length bios: Short & snappy to detailed and in-depth. Think social media caption to program bio 2️⃣ Album of photos: From studio headshots to live performance shots. Feature those costumes and vibes! 3️⃣ Variety of footage: Sizzle reels, demos, full acts, and even improv/training reels. Probably the most involved, but will save your future self SO much time when it comes to quick submissions. 4️⃣ CV/Resume: Tailored to each application, and even to each act or discipline! Keep it to one page if possible and play with linking videos and social media into the text. Good luck! Also... you can use StageLyncPro to help organize all of this for you :) Sign up for free at stagelync.com/sign 🔥 #stagelync #performingarts #castingcall

I do not know who needs to hear this, but I promise dreams really do come true! Take it from me, a lonely old failed Esports Graphic Designer / DoorDasher. It took me 13 months - 1082 applications - 14 interviews - and countless no's & ghosting to FINALLY find my YES! If you do not have people in your corner that are 100% behind you, cheering you on every time you fall forward. You don't need them. Never listen to the voices tell you to give up, you are not good enough - why would anyone want to hire you. Trust yourself, you went down this path for a reason. Don't you dare give up on yourself now! The road can be long and hard, even lonely at times. But! I believe in you!!! #nevergiveup #yourtimeiscoming #youcandoit ##motivation #personaldevelopment #jobinterviews #personalbranding #education #productivity

The last time I started preparing for interviewing at a new jib I realized my approach had evolved into a streamlined process. I've written about this process in my blog, I hope you can take something from it whether you're still a student or already have several years of experience working. All the ideas presented here can be used for any industry, there are a few examples related to the video game industry but that's because it's my personal experience. Even if you're not a game developer, give it a shot regardless of your industry background! https://lnkd.in/dStn73dC

It started with a call to introduce myself... Turns out - they were in a tight spot with a big project. They needed an expert, and they needed one fast - Here’s how I stepped in: SHOWING VALUE UPFRONT Right from the get-go, I shared an example of one of the best candidates I was working with. Not to blindly sell them in, but to show social proof and the strength of my network. What I didn't do, is send a bunch of unrelated CVs over email, and relentlessly ask for feedback. DISCOVERY CALL We arranged a follow-up call to really dig into their needs. I wanted to understand exactly what challenges they were facing and what they needed to get the job done. I then gave a basic overview of my terms, so we were on the same page. PRESENTING A SOLUTION After our chat, I sent over 5 candidates. Each one was carefully picked to make sure they could jump right in and start making an impact. They quickly picked their favorite. One interview later, and they knew they had found the perfect fit. ONBOARDING We got the contractor onboarded fast. They blended right into the team and started contributing immediately, helping the studio stay on track and hit their deadline. So what's the point here? This shows how important it is to work with people who have the right connections and truly understand your needs. It’s not just about filling a role; it’s about finding the perfect solution at the right time. If you're dealing with a similar issue, let's chat. I’d love to help you find the right solution for your team/project and save you a bunch of time doing it. joe@dimensionrecruitment.com #GamesIndustry #Animation #Recruitment

It's very important to judge each individual appropriately! Despite knowing that art tests are an intrinsic part of the selection process, I believe Rogelio Delgado's article perfectly describes the frustration of this procedure. Personally, I think he is right on all the points in his writing. The art test should be a last resort after reviewing the candidate's CV and portfolio. Even then, as Rogelio mentions, the test does not follow the usual procedures used day-to-day in the industry, both in terms of time and development. -Why is the portfolio requested? Something that sometimes represents 90% of the work done during both professional and personal activity. -Why is the CV asked for? -What good are the years of experience in the industry? -What matters if the position requirements you're applying for is exactly the same as the most recent one you've held? For nothing... it's useless, because the selection processes have become stagnant.... With this, I don't mean to undervalue good recruiters; I'm simply expressing a personal concern that affects everyone in the industry.

I’ve seen talks in my network of VO talent receiving scam emails and sadly, some of them fall for it. I think, especially for new talent, it’s exciting to get that offer or opportunity and they get so excited that they just jump at the offer. Here’s a tip for new VO talent: For the most part, people needing a VO artist aren’t going to stumble upon you to make you an unsolicited offer. Unless you are a well known, established voice artist/actor, those who use VO talent aren’t out there Googling for VO artists. They use talent agents, casting sites, and VO talent who have made an effort to connect with them. 99% of the time, if you get a random email saying how great you are and they want to offer you buckets of money for your talents, it’s a scam. Sadly, I’ve seen many scams coming from job postings on sites, including LinkedIn. So beware even if you reached out first, it could still be a scam. Things to look for: * poor spelling or grammar in the email * an over payment or advance payment on work where they will ask for you to cash the check and then send them the balance. * asking you to purchase equipment from a specific site and they will reimburse you. * the senders email domain. If they are supposed to be from company X, and they have a gmail address (or another domain not from the company), it’s suspicious. I’ve seen some really good scams out there, especially the ones that have come from LinkedIn postings. They have the company logo and address, so the questionnaire they send looks like legit letterhead. You have to pay attention to the details as it’s harder to spot some of these scams. But trust your gut…it it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Presenting the 1st comedy skit from DevGrabr Lolz!!! I’ve been doing standup for years (I’ll be @ Headstorm 10/11 in Addison!) and sketch comedy has always been in my ❤️. I love my job of building software engineering teams and have done it as both a Corporate & Agency recruiter, both roles IMO are some of the hardest and unappreciated jobs around. It’s also hard to be an Engineer too in this market so I hope everyone in all 3 professions takes 5 minutes to bathe in some satire as we kick off another Monday. Please enjoy “A Tale of Two Reference Checks” Part 1! Corporate Recruiters cheers to y’all! Part 2 drops tomorrow 😜 #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment #recruiting #techrecruiting
