➡️DON’T  HIRE YOURSELF⬅️ 🎶📺Just like your streaming music & video services algorithm recommendations, which choose similar options to your usual choices, you end up getting the same stuff. Hiring Managers usually do the same…they hire the same type, typically folks just like themselves. 👂👁️ This is limiting for your own music and video entertainment and for your business too. Time to listen and watch new genres… and time to hire the dissimilar and time to evaluate what is considered a “qualified candidate.” Listen to candidate stories. Widen your perspective and point of view. Mix up and expand your teams’ talent…this will enhance business. 🔔 To receive notifications of my posts, visit my profile and click the bell icon in the top right corner. #adlife #talentacquisition, #TA, #hiring, #TerriTalent, #TerriTalentTalk

Meet executive coach Sarah Page. You may be wondering why I would introduce you to another executive coach. Like Sarah, I believe in the importance of hiring an executive coach who has been where you want to go. I also believe that fits important when hiring a coach. Sarah's focus is on helping women in the music & entertainment business smash though the glass ceiling. She knows how this industry works because she spent YEARS in this industry. My blog posting on 5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Hiring a Coach is the best place to start when considering whether or not to work with a coach. (Link in comment section.) When you're READY to hire a coach, your first question should be: Can you tell me about your work experience prior to becoming a coach? What's important to you when hiring a coach? #coach, #executivecoach, #executivecoaching

In the last few months, we have seen thousands of individuals be dismissed from their roles in the industry. Now, more than ever, we are seeing companies downsize, which conclusively puts jobs in the music / entertainment industries in a niche market (even more exclusive than before). However, it begs the question, if streaming, ticket sales, merchandise, and other paid services are at an all time high, why the continuous layoffs? What are your thoughts on the fickle nature of music and entertainment companies and these decisions being made on behalf of their staff? #music #business #musicindustry https://lnkd.in/ev9nFXWV

The best content is shareable content. 👀 Few brands do this as well as Spotify. "Spotify Wrapped" is the brand's annual campaign that shows users their most-played artists, songs, albums, and podcasts. To encourage everyone to share listening data on social media, the brand used a combination of personalized data and fun graphics with vibrant colors. What can marketers learn from this? Give your audience a conversation to join, and engagement will follow. 💡 P.S. It was really fun to make this for my company's account. 😂 Slide into the DMs if any of those "top issues" with hiring triggered a fight-or-flight reaction... MSH does things differently. 🚀

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

Hiring the right people is like finding the perfect dance partners. They move in sync with the company’s rhythm, reducing employee turnover and saving businesses money in the long run.

Today, I came across an insightful Wall Street Journal article dissecting Spotify CEO Daniel Ek's recent memo addressing the company's decision to cut approximately 1,500 jobs. Having personally experienced a layoff earlier this year, it struck a chord with me and offered valuable insights into the challenging dynamics on both sides of such decisions. https://lnkd.in/edXudAx2 Having been part of the workforce reduction wave in 2023, I can attest to the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with it. It's not just a number; it's about the people, the talent, the dedication. But Ek's memo sheds light on the tough choices companies face to stay resilient in an ever-changing economic landscape. Now, more than ever, I understand the complexity and difficulty of these decisions, acknowledging that organizations are fighting their own battles to survive and thrive. As I embark on a new position in the analytics field—ideally in NYC or remote—I am eager to bring my skills and dedication to a company that values its team. If you know of any openings or have insights to share, I'd love to connect and explore potential collaborations. Change is inevitable, and it's our resilience and adaptability that propel us forward. Here's to new beginnings and exciting possibilities! #JobSeeker #Analytics #CareerTransition #layoffs #LinkedInNetworking #Resilience #OpportunityKnocks #Spotify #Leadership #BusinessStrategy #CorporateCommunication #WorkplaceChanges #WallStreetJournal 📈🔊

If you’re struggling to get work in the music industry, read on 👁️👇 Just hold on. Atlantic is the latest to announce layoffs, after Universal and Warner in recent weeks. However, the tides *will* turn 🌊 There *will* come a point where they realise they’re understaffed, and start hiring Freelancers and Contractors like crazy at premium rates, to help with the reduced bandwidth they’ll now have, and lack of Perm workforce. Yes, this might not be the plum job and cushy career you might have envisioned. As I always say, though: you need to adapt and improvise. Accommodate the ever-changing landscape. Think beyond a 5-10 year career in one company. Be flexible. Upskill. Most of all, however: be patient. You might be struggling now, but soon enough you’ll be the one dealing the cards 🃏🃏🃏 Trust me on that one. ☝️ _____ Connect with me or Follow me and ring the bell on my profile 🔔 for more Music Industry Tips in your Feed 🎶 You can also hit me up in a DM here, or send me an email, if you need a Social Media Manager - I’m available: work@dynamitri.com 📧 _____ #Music #MusicBusiness #MusicIndustry #MusicBiz #Recruitment #JobSearch #JobHunt
