Tony Bhajam is an Inclusion Producer at the Pervasive Media studio, part of the Watershed team. Helen Jaffa is Operations Manager at Watershed.
In December 2020, the PM studio was recruiting some new team members and there was an opportunity to bring together a host of conversations and learnings in the studio about how we could do this better, in a more 'human' way. The team tried out some new ideas and got some great feedback, they all felt great about it...
Fast forward to May 2021 and the Watershed Front of House teams were ready to recruit as the world opened up post-lockdown. Helen and the team were working to different scales, with different capacity, and with different timelines and all of a sudden this new process didn't feel so good
Join us for a honest chat about what works and what doesn't and to hear a bit about the future of recruitment at Watershed...
Join us online on YouTube Live or in the building on Friday 4th March 2022 at 1pm for the talk and to take part in the discussion afterwards.
