Filcro Media Staffing New York is Retained
The Senior Vice President of Marketing was aware of Filcro Media Staffing (FMS) through her prior employment with a global financial institution where FMS had successfully recruited executive producers and those in charge of their global TV Network and corporate communications environments.
The Senior Vice President and the Senior Director of Video Services played an active role in articulating the business goals that needed to be achieved through this executive search. Expansion of media product offerings and raising production standards were key based on the sophistication of the firm’s clients.
A syndicated half-hour TV show produced by the firm needed to be re-energized and brought up to the standards of other shows appearing on FOX, CNBC and Bloomberg. The objective was to identify an executive producer who could take financial programming to the next step while maintaining the credibility, entertainment factor and conservative demeanor the firm was seeking. The show needed a pace that would keep audiences engaged without offending sensibilities. The credibility factor was paramount as global analysts appearing on the show each week from varied global markets required a venue that matched the respect given each financial institutions they represented.
Some of the Challenges Facing the New Executive Producer:
Raising Production Standards
Producing Show Segments that Engage Audiences
Re-purposing Content for Interactive and DVD Distribution
Producing Content for Domestic and International Markets
Maintaining Financial Controls on Production Budgets
Bringing Current Production and Post Staff up to Network Standards
The Filcro Media Staffing Recruitment Solution
Filcro Media Staffing proceeded by identifying the top executive producers from the top rated financial shows in both domestic and international markets.
An initial search universe of over 120 potential candidates of executive producers, senior producers and executives in charge of production was compiled and needed to be vetted. Based on compensation, geographics, culture and the specific career ecology of those initially identified, the pool of appropriate candidates was brought down to a manageable 26.
The culture of the client company was unique and as talented as the potential pool of 26 was we had to focus now on the soft skills and a person’s ability to transform the show into a success while mentoring staff through the production and post standards that needed to be raised. This brought our pool to 12 candidates.
Of the 12 remaining candidates we felt that 6 were ideal to make the transition in the period of time required and express the longevity desired to assure that there would be continuity in the work environment and for the show. We ultimately picked 3 producers from two of the top rated financial shows on television and presented them as 1st tiered candidates. Two (2) remaining 2nd tier candidates could also have been considered viable but there was a deadline to begin production that precluded these producers.
New Executive Producer Recruited
The new Executive Producer was from one of the top 3 rated financial news shows in America.
Relocating from New York City to Florida was accomplished in little time and the firm was able to meet their show deadline and meet all their objects.
The Executive Producer became acclimated to the company culture and is a vital member of the firm’s Programming, Development and Production team.
