Why do I need juniors for my projects?

The future of work is changing. Worrying figures on talent shortage, ‘the great resignation’, and fast-paced working environments are challenging talent retention efforts. On the other side, junior talents don’t get enough opportunities to show their worth.

After 4 years of experimental training and employment efforts, I learned that digital project-based learning on real challenges achieves fast and effective training and onboarding. giving a sense of purpose to all involved and with the technology involved - shorter training time.

Do you face high training costs? Do you want to give a chance to raise your own talents but don’t want to waste expensive senior time? Do you feel anxious about your company milestones? Are you worried about talent retention rates? Do you have project-based tasks to give away?

Then let’s get started!

 

Tailored for the needs of managers like:

  • Senior Product Manager Eva

    We are facing rapid growth and our UX and Development teams require more people onboard. We want to try juniors for a specific project, as long as they have the right attitude and a few portfolio items to show. If the chemistry works for us we’ll offer them a place with us.

  • Head of Marketing Michael

    We tried to bring interns to our team before, but their limited time wasn’t enough to deal content creation workload. I think juniors from marketing or content agencies will be perfect.

  • HR Business Partner Ruthy

    Talent shortage keeps delaying our company milestones for a couple of months now. I believe that our strategy of nurturing our own juniors in our departments gives a sense of leadership to our senior team members and provides stability to our company.

About Talent Network 

 

The Talent Network program is based on my personal career, experiences, meeting hundreds of talents, employees, freelancers, employers, and reading extensive research on creative industries and the future of work. 

The Talent Network goal is to serve as a bridge between talents and employers in a digital-by-design setup. I invite you all to make the best out of it.

 

Who am I?

 
 

I’m Ilan Shenkar, a problem-solver with a background in business development, design, social entrepreneurship, startups, and public policy. 

I wish to introduce on-job training as a proven method to make juniors employable according to industry standards. This will provide a clear starting point for junior talents by making a sense of community, giving opportunities for on-job training, hiring, and breaking “the junior paradox” by making amazing work.

 FAQs

 

  • Preferable small tasks with a clear start and end. Better if you have already done this kind of job before and have a clear SOP or at least a briefing document.

    The plan here is to save your senior crew members time so they can focus on what really matters and only feedback work output.

  • Creative industries are accountable for about 10% of the workforce worldwide. As we just start we look for employers that need jobs done in code, marketing, design, film, video, photography, audio, music, publishing, gaming.

  • As I know freelancing is not the ideal way to work, I still didn’t find a legal and easy-to-use solution that works worldwide and also works in project-based work.
