- Geography was both a challenge and an opportunity, e.g., competing for top talent in major U.S. cities including the Greater New York City Area
- The challenge of an unknown employer brand in relations to digital production capabilities; it was imperative to educate the market on the opportunity as it compared to major competitors within the entertainment industry
- New talent acquisition team; the client had previously struggled to fill these positions through the internal talent acquisition team
- This client used agencies in other areas of the business but did not have success with the agency model for digital positions
- Hiring based on the success of the client’s television programming, i.e., proof of concept; unpredictable with significant ebbs and flows in hiring demand
