My team is hiring senior BD professionals worldwide. Let me quickly tell you why BD might be the perfect role for you if you’re looking to take your career to new heights. For many companies—and especially at Fever—BD is the lifeline. Platform businesses thrive on supply growth, and increasing that supply drives platform success. Wherever you are, always aim to be on the side of growth. BD is the most entrepreneurial job you can have at a mid-sized tech company. In BD, you’re essentially your own boss. You’re measured by the size of your business, you decide how to allocate your time, and eventually, results speak for themselves. There’s no bureaucracy or time wasted—you focus on adding value to the business and get recognized for it. The more you grow, the more BD-related your role will be. Every successful CEO I’ve met excels at one thing—pitching their company or product. If you want to climb the ranks, gaining BD experience is crucial—nothing prepares you better for the top job. I could go on, but you get the idea. If you’re a consultant looking to move into execution, BD is the place for you. We’d love to hear from you—apply at careers.feverup.com or shoot me a note.

More smooth-moving production superheroes needed…

PSA: For those looking to hire that may not instantly understand why a TV Producer has applied for your job, or why they may be a great fit for ANY team... It is our job to dive into an unknown world, and instantly become well-versed in what makes that world tick. We learn on the fly, and are experts at being professional about it. We tend to wear many hats, and that's not a bad thing! <I'd like to change it to jack of all trades, and (very quickly) mastering them all ;)> We oftentimes are both right and left-brained - advising on creative in one minute, then overseeing budgets or schedules the next. We can juggle a lot, like a lot a lot. (We often work in skeleton crews and have to pick up the slack as needed. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork) Our world hasn't exactly been happening this past year...and it's rough out there. So if you're looking for the most dedicated, loyal, go-getters... I challenge you to interview some TV Producers...Even if you don't immediately recognize the connection between the job posting and their resumes. #TVProducer #TVProduction #ProjectManager #ProgramManager #ProductManager #ITProjectManager #ConstructionProjectManager #MarketingProjectManager #EventManager #ScrumMaster #AgileProjectManager #OperationsManager #Recruiters

Why You Should Hire Folks from Television/Entertainment/Production. Video link - https://lnkd.in/dWgatwY2 As an Executive Producer with years of television experience working in Unscripted, Documentary and Reality, I regularly hold group meetups and make tutorial videos to help junior production team members learn more about all things production: the industry, field and post processes, working with networks, etc. But this video is for people working in other industries - recruiters, hiring teams, HR managers, anyone responsible for hiring new staff. I want you to understand the current situation in the entertainment industry, the number of production folks currently looking for work, the broad skill set they can bring to your team and why you should hire them. Over the past year, the need for changes in the industry surfaced in many different ways. As a result of strikes, mergers and financial constraints, the entertainment industry is not in a good place, and Unscripted Television has come to an almost complete halt. (Sidenote: Unscripted does not have a union, and there are few to no protections.) Production folks from all departments have been out of work for months, projects are not getting the green light, and online production groups are filled with people (of all experience levels) looking for work and sharing personal stories of financial challenges. Many are selling their homes, limiting family activities, living off of credit cards…let’s just say it’s an overall unfortunate situation. For those of you outside or unfamiliar with the entertainment industry and the layered process of putting together any type of production, I’m not sure that it’s clear how strong, resourceful, diligent, adaptable and reliable production folks are. (And yes, we’ve got a little OCD with some perfectionist tendencies on the side as well.) This video details the broad strokes of production and the collective responsibilities handled by team members. I hope you’ll watch. I hope you won’t overlook resumes filled with entertainment experience. And I hope you’ll reach out to me if I can either tell you more or help connect you to this incredible pool of talented people. #recruiters #hiringmanagers #recruiter #talent #hire #hiring #jobopportunity #entertainmentindustry #job

A productive workplace requires a constant cycle of maintaining and improving. It calls for patience, perspective, and agility to address these needs concurrently. I know a few individuals that would be great for this role, but Eric Casas stands out with the experience to truly excel in it. Let his inventory and production coordination skills show you. #recommendation #projectmanagement #officemanagement

We've compiled a list of essential tips and checklists to ensure you make the right hire. Link to the blog in the comments ⬇⬇⬇

Unpopular opinion: years of experience don't make you a Senior Product Manager, proven experience does. At Product People, we level candidates on: 1. Async questions they answer when submitting the application. 2. Case Study, rated independently and blindly by 3 (Senior) PMs. 3. Live interview with another 3 (Senior) PMs, rated independently. 4. Two reference checks, one from a former line manager. 5. Pre-offer internal calibration. 🤩 Why are some recruiters and hiring managers so attached to these "x years of experience"? What works in your company? #productmanagement #hiring
