I don’t think interviews help that much for hiring creatives. I would rather concept with them for three days and bang out 20 ideas. That’s the test I need them to pass.

@CD1 that’s fine if the candidate is currently unemployed or freelancing (as long as you pay for their time) but virtually impossible for a creative who already has a job.

Ahaha @Copywriter 2 - awesome point!!!!

Portfolios can be misleading.

Which is why, during the interview, you ask specific questions about their role on certain assignments

Ok. So the next time you’re looking for a new job will you be willing to take 3 days off to interview and prove yourself?

It’s called vetting susan

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
