Speaker
, Head of The BOSS Group
, Vice President and General Manager


Description
It’s easy to short change hiring and development practices when having to manage project-specific crises, process and infrastructure breakdowns, and upper management demands for metrics and cost justifications. Compounding the challenge is a multitude of inane and non-specific cookie-cutter interviewing and performance-review policies that are forced upon creative group leaders by their companies. The irony is that there is actually no greater impact an in-house team manager can have at his or her job than effectively choosing and then coaching top-notch talent.
 
Jackie Schaffer and Andy Epstein will discuss best practices and share strategies and tactics about how to secure great creative talent and then develop them. They will teach interview techniques, offer team marketing strategies to attract talent to in-house, and share templates for performance reviews specific to creative roles.

1.    Five ways to promote your company and your group to prospective talent.
2.    Basic interview strategies and specific questions designed to assess candidates.
3.    Weighted categories and specific criteria for benchmarking performance.
