What do Animation recruiters look for from recent graduates?  How do they find fresh talent? At last week's VIEW conference in Turin I appeared on a recruitment panel hosted by New York's School of Visual Arts (SVA) with two recruiters, Amy Smith from Framestore and Tiffany Feeney of Talent Outpost, an independent recruitment agency based in Switzerland.  Both of them had a lot to say on the subject of student demo reels, websites and how to be easy to find onine. But most of all, recruiters want just one thing from animation graduates. 

Be on Linkedin
Both Amy and Tiffany stressed the importance of students and recent graduates being on Linkedin, and also regularly updating their status. For recruiters, availability of talent is key. Are you looking for work right now, or in a month's time, or three months?

Recruiters are often looking for talent to begin work immediately, or perhaps a few months down the road. It helps them a lot if your Linkedin profile states when you are likely to be available. Above all, Linkedin is "your brand", and you should treat it seriously.

As Tiffany put it "I live on Linkedin".

Be easy to find
Both Amy and Tiffany expressed frustration about how difficult it can be to contact talent. High of their list of irritations was password-protected demo reels (don't!), and websites with no contact details or email address. Be easy to find - don't make recruiters work hard to track you down.

Personal website
Neither Amy nor Tiffany were particularly concerned about talent having their own website or blog. For them, being at Linkedin, and having a link to your demo reel at Vimeo, was enough.

How much are you worth?
Recent graduates often struggle to know how much money to ask for from an entry level job. Tiffany recommended payscale.com to compare pay rates from city to city.

She and Amy also mentioned glassdoor.com, which gives information on what companies pay. The advantage of this is, when you know what the going rate is for a job, you know what is a reasonable salary to ask for.

Zerply
Tiffany also recommended being on zerply.com (which styles itself the "invite-only community for people in Film & TV, Games & AR/VR"), which she described as "Linkedin for the VFX Industry".
