New Recruit? Oct 3, 2007 @ 1:10 PM

I know, not incredibly Rocktober, but we're trying out a new recruiting method at Aquent, and I'm interested to see what you all think of it.

Now, keep in mind this first video is for an internal position, Area Manager for our ever-wacky NYC market.

As a result there is a lot of visual background noise in this video in the form of people dancing, playing ping pong, and making fun of the guy on camera (our East Coast Regional Manager, Randy Ricker).

Whatcha think, will this fly?

And, if you're interested in running our NYC market, write to Randy and tell him you saw it on the blog.

Then he'll owe me lunch next time he's in town.

It's A Logo, Loco Sep 25, 2007 @ 8:09 AM

Look, we got a logo to go with our honor!

If only it was in Aquent Orange I could make a vinyl poster and hang it over Marshall's desk.

Oh well...

You can check out the whole article on our office here at the LA Business Journal.

Nice mention of the blog there, too.

Speaking of working here, if you know anyone who fits these qualifications, let me know. We're looking for another Agent!

Then YOU could be doing something fun like Diana did this morning:

That is, trying to speak on the company's Fireside Chat to 100 or so people while being distracted by the rest of the team juggling, waving small palm trees, and taking pictures.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

Psst, Wanna Work at Aquent? May 9, 2006 @ 4:05 PM

Surprise! We're growing (again) and on the look out for the following person:

  • Must like chocolate
  • Must clap whenever Debra's "Can Can" ring tone starts playing
  • Must become accustomed to having his/her desk very decorated on their birthday

But seriously...

We're looking for a Creative Recruiter / Account Manager to add to our illustrious team of overachievers.

Someone with experience working in the staffing industry and with creative services and marketing departments, preferably serving a customer base consisting of Fortune 1000 companies and mid-sized businesses.

Someone with the most awesome customer service skills imaginable.

Not to bag on anywhere, this is not like a lot of staffing agencies.

And I'm not going to say we have heart, here.

I'll say we have chocolate and leave it at that.

We also have rooms with names like Tadpole and Salmon, we have theme songs for certain meetings,  an awesome Area Manager, and we try to have a good time, even when things get rough.

Especially when things get rough. (They always do, don't they? Even though they never tell you that in your first interview.)

Most importantly (and I'm stressing this here), we are not looking for people who want to work with everyone else in this office. We are NOT looking for Maverick from Top Gun (in more ways than one).

If this sounds like you, send me your resume and I'll take care of you.

If you know anyone who this sounds like, send them this link and they'll be forever in your debt.

Unless, of course, they have to sit at the desk across from me.

If you want the full skinny on the position, you can check it out on our site.
