When working with a recruiter would you rather be a jack of all trades or a master of one? Ok, maybe that’s not quite how the colloquialism goes, but the point is that while any good recruiter will possess a strong core set of skills, the one who specializes working with talent in a particular industry or niche area will likely have an advantage in facilitating strong career matches.
When you think about it, at Yoh, we work in the most unique industry in the world; the people business! No two people are alike and similarly the industries and companies for whom we serve possess their own individual nuances. To love and thrive in this business you need to have a keen interest in truly understanding the particular needs of an industry, company and hiring manager and then being able to equally appreciate the skill sets and career aspirations of each candidate to facilitate a strong match.
Yoh’s Interactive Media team is a great example of one of our specialized teams that focuses on recruiting in a niche area so that they can become experts in the needs of their clients, aspirations and skill sets of its candidates, and bring the two together in this exciting industry. Our Interactive team is passionate about what they do and possess a wealth of knowledge when it comes to what’s happening within the industry, how gaming talent can “up the ante” on their job seeking efforts and more! Given this expertise, we took the time to pick their brains so we could share their thoughts with you!
