I have been a fan of Robin Hamman's work at the BBC for some time, and I rate him as one of the most knowledgeable people in the UK about online communities, user engagement and online journalism, among other things. So when we were offered the opportunity to work with him, we snapped it up. Robin will lead our social media practice working with existing and new clients on social media and user engagement projects.
Robin's post announcing his move inadvertently revealed our voodoo hiring technique, as evidenced by the photo below:
In short, we have hundreds of bunnies sitting in chairs representing people we want to hire at some point, and each bunny sucks up the target hire's RSS feeds and activity streams until they possess their soul, at which point the target hire turns up for work. It works well, aside from a tendency to hire people with the same name. We have two each of the following: Ana, Lars, Nick, Robin and Tom. It's like they are building an ark or something...
So, in a week's time we will have one less bunny and one more human. We are building a very talented team here. I hope they still need their PHBs.
Thank you for sharing that image of Headshift's social media soul-eating leporine constructs....
That would sit quite comfortably in an episode of modern Doctor Who.
Too right. I have to confess that I mocked the geek obsession with Dr. Who until my 7-yr old daughter got me back into it, and now I think it is amazing - the best incarnation yet.
Anyway, aside from the rabbits, we have Stuart's invisible ninja army who mop up project tails and a veritable menagerie of other not-quite-existing creatures who help run the business.
You really should pop by and break bread with us.
