• Talent and Recruiter

  • Jan 2020 - Feb 2020

  [Employment ended due to redundancy.] As the only in house Recruiter, I oversee the end to end recruitment of every role. This is at all levels of experience of a specialism, within our medium-sized post production studio which specialises in making visual effects, primarily for commercials. As Electric’s first Recruiter, I am building new systems to form a recruitment pipeline based on the existing workaround. To track talent long term, I source, screen and meet with a variety of people to add to a candidate pipeline for both in house and freelance roles for the future. This proactive search will save Electric time and money when a new role is signed off to go live. I can help the candidates shape their skillsets to be more role-ready specifically for our studio’s requirements. For entry level talent sourcing, I am building an Outreach program for the year ahead to work with educational institutes and attend industry specific festivals. I can engage with new talent in this way and add them to a candidate pipeline.

  • Oct 2012 - Oct 2012

  On Tuesday 23rd October 2012, I spent the day at Granada Studios in Manchester on a Work Shadow Placement which involved a morning with the production team at Citv and an afternoon at ITV's ThreeSixty Media department. Animator, Frank Mansfield talked me through the types of work produced at Citv, showed me examples of work created by himself and the team that have previously been broadcasted and discussed the production of online content. Throughout the morning, I was able to ask - as well as have answered - many animation production questions I had for the team. In the afternoon, I Work Shadowed Tanvir Hanif who leads the graphics and post production team at ITV. He showed me many examples of the work him team produce, explained the roles a production team and demonstrated many post production techniques. I was also set a brief during my visit which required the production of new skit concepts for ITV's You've Been Framed! through the creation of storyboards. A selection of my concepts are currently in the process of being pitched for selection. The visit to Granada Studios was an invaluable experience, having been able to witness first-hand the daily running of a television studio and how production teams within them organise and structure their workload, as well as seeing the level of quality of the work that is being produced.
