People persons: finding the best employees for the job.(Knowledge & Career)
It's been often stated in the pages of this magazine and elsewhere that the VFX, animation, and post industries are a "people business." That's why recruitment is so important--it's the recruiter's job to secure the human talent that is so key to a company's ongoing success.
So what happens when your hard-fought-for talent ups and leaves after making magic on a major motion picture? How do you fill that empty seat with equal or greater talent? How do you keep tabs on someone you'd like to bring back when more work is available? And, how do you deal with an economic environment that portends less production, at lower budgets and tighter deadlines?
You ask the recruitment experts. And we did just that. Four recruitment executives from top companies in the US, Canada, and the UK offer their take on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and "threats" they perceive that may help or hinder their efforts as they proceed into the new year.
