  • In my previous role I was leading a department, constantly needing to hire people. After some terrible initial experience, I didn’t let HR touch any of the CVs in the system, nor give a call to anybody, I started doing evertyhing myself. I was much faster in hiring than my peers, and good candidates also responded much better to a manager calling them. It takes effort, but shortens hiring time and improves the process a lot. There are of course limits, I was doing this for 1-3 open positions at a time, no manager could do it for 10, and I also had experience in recruitment myself.

    Unless they have a dedicated HR person for a department/area that really learns the business and specializes, they are not going to be able to help hiring much.






  • I mean it is a diverse portfolio, but only on the very shallow surface level. Like COD or FIFA, AC games are the same every year / 2 years with a different skin.

    I remember when it was actually different 10+ years ago, like when we got AC Unity, Black Flag close by, with some Far Cry 3 on the side. Their open worlds had similar elements, but it was still very different at the core.

    Now it’s just repetitive and boring.
