Iconic Promotions Begins Hiring to Fill Positions in 2015

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Jan. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- With the start of the New Year, many businesses are preparing themselves to accomplish new levels of success in 2015. For Iconic Promotions that means expanding its team. Nadia, the firm’s director of operations, indicated that they are seeking candidates to fill a variety of new roles.

“We are looking for talented individuals to fill several different positions,” she stated. “The ideal candidate should be driven and energetic, with excellent interpersonal skills, and ready to go the extra mile for the brands we represent.”

Nadia added that they offer significant career advancement opportunities to those who join their team. Furthermore, she explained that veteran members of the Iconic Promotions team will train and mentor any new brand representatives in the latest and most innovative techniques. “We want everyone in our organization to succeed,” explained Nadia. “So we set everyone up with the skills and knowledge necessary to do so.”

She explained that the most important traits they look for in prospective team members are drive and soft skills such as interpersonal abilities and empathy. According to Nadia they can train anyone in how to do their job well, but they can’t give people the ability to care. She also stated that they are looking for individuals interested in beginning a career in marketing, not just finding a job. Anyone who is interested can apply through the company website.

Iconic Promotions’ Director of Operations Discusses Hiring

According to Nadia, many businesses struggle to find the talent they are looking for because they use outdated methods of recruiting. Perhaps the most important thing to improve, she suggested, is writing more specific job descriptions.

Likewise, while many hiring managers stick to years of experience and hard skills required, when looking to add someone new to the Iconic Promotions team, Nadia is sure to include information on expected attitude, performance, and personality characteristics. Having a more complete picture not only attracts more targeted candidates, but provides a useful guide for evaluating applicants.

“I also strongly recommend finding blind references,” she added. “If a candidate provides references, they are almost certain to give glowing recommendations. Try finding a few people on your own outside of their provided list who know the individual. They will likely provide a much more realistic assessment. This can be accomplished fairly easily using social media.”

Finally, Nadia emphasized trusting your gut. She stated that oftentimes having the right feeling about a prospective team member is the best indicator of future success. ‘We all have some intuition as to whether someone will fit in well culturally, and if they have passion,” she explained. “If your intuition is saying no, don’t let good references or an attractive resume change your mind. It’s important to trust your gut.”
