Our team is growing! Want to join us?<\/p><\/div>\n

We are expanding our team and hiring for a variety of positions. Our recruiting website nychbrands.com<\/a> talks more about our culture, open positions, and the application process.<\/p>\n

Our application process is more involved than average, and there’s a reason for this- it’s a great way for us to filter candidates. If people can’t be bothered to follow instructions on an application form, then they probably will not be a fit for our company. We also ask all candidates to submit a brief video telling us about themselves.<\/p>\n

Why We Ask Job Candidates For a Video<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We allow people to submit their video by either uploading a file or posting a link. We do not provide instruction on how to do this. One of our company culture mantras is “Everything is Figureoutable.” If someone cannot be bothered to figure out how to submit a video file or link, this is a very good indicator that they aren’t going to last in our culture.<\/li>\n
  2. Submitting a video takes some time.\u00a0 If someone is truly interested in a position at our company, they will be willing to jump through a few hoops. If people don’t want to put forth the effort, that communicates to us that they aren’t overly interested.<\/li>\n
  3. Some of our positions require excellent verbal communication skills. A video helps us determine what kind of communicator applicants are.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When we post jobs on traditional job sites, we can can get up to hundreds of applicants. Asking applicants to submit a video is a great way to whittle down the list.<\/p>\n
