Need to hire this person

February 18, 2008

I’ve stolen both the headline and the video direct from Sam Lawrence’s blog. Sam is chief marketing officer at Jive Software, a really cool company working in the collaboration space. Check out its Jivetalks blog which gives greater insights into the way this company thinks

I like this for several reasons:

  • It’s creative - a pre-requisite for anyone involved in communications
  • It describes the position very clearly
  • Makes you think about what it might be like working for the company
  • Gives you clues as to what’s expected in an applicant

The only thing it misses out on is location. That’s important for many people.

Can you imagine creating a video to attract professionals into your firm?

    You’re right. I should have included location. I wonder it it breaks HR rules to post any or all of the video responses I get? :)

    I’d watch that one if I was you - could get you into all sorts of trouble ;)

Got something to say?
