![]() ![]() But if a Company can afford a Recruiter at all, the odds are also very good they can afford you at a higher salary, as well. On the other hand, I can’t tell you how many times they’ve wasted my time and clogged my phone at all hours. On the one hand, they’ve gotten me 2 of my 3 AAA jobs ( Electronic Arts, id Software) and plenty of smaller contracts. I’ve been working remotely for a decade now, and my interactions with Recruiters has been all over the place. An Art Test is a company doing its due diligence, making sure nobody slips through the cracks simply because, “the portfolio had Call of Duty stuff on it.” or, “They really want it this time”. But look at it from our perspective: just give me a little proof you are who you say you are. They’re intense and time consuming and nobody likes taking them. It’s always a good sign when they stop talking about your skills and start talking about your subscription services (you are all caught up on _, right?). But if they’re curious about your hobbies, activities, and affections – it’s because they want that Personality to gel with the group’s. Similarly, if they’ve put your Personality in their blindspot, take that as a clear indication that you as a person do not count in their eyes. You can rest easy knowing that if you do get the job, your teammates were vetted just as aggressively. Interviews with multiple people also shows a sensitivity for group cohesion – equally important in corporate or remote ecosystems. Hiring managers, Art Directors, the Team – the more people you meet, the more kaleidoscopic a view they want of you – to make sure it sticks if they do hire you. In fact, an internal referral may allow you to leapfrog past much of the interview process if their recommendation is incandescent enough. If they love it, you instantly have an internal referral the Golden Ticket in any techno-creative field. Beyond authentic hot-takes on the Company, if they hate it there, you’ll be able to tease out what qualities you will never put up with from any company. Absolutely nothing will eclipse the high-holy power of having a friend on the inside. ![]()
