Mobile Interface Designer for Lifestyle and Entertainment Site (Freelance)
New York, NY

Title: Mobile Interface Designer
Client: Major Media Company
Location: New York, NY
Type: Freelance

OK, we've all seen the iPhone commercial that made Apple devotees plunk down $600 smackeroos to get a mobile device that promised to change their digital lives. You know, the one where said owner of said phone watches "Pirates of the Caribbean", gets a hankering for calamari, and finds a boatload of seafood restaurants in San Francisco. Well, imagine a companion site for mobile devices that lets you instantly reserve a table at the best-reviewed restaurant in Fisherman's Wharf. If you build it, they will come ... the question is, can you build it?

The Hired Guns are seeking a Mobile Interface Designer for our client, a major media company looking to fuse the best aspects of guides like Vindigo, MenuPages and Citysearch with reservation and ticket ordering tools like Fandango and OpenTable, with a little GPS to sweeten the service offering, all on your mobile phone.

The company wants a working prototype by the end of 2007. You'll collaborate with the third-party mobile application provider to create new product designs and improve on existing ones, and mock up iterative prototypes of interactive interfaces in Flash and/or HTML.

If you think you're up to the challenge, we want to hear from you!

HOW TO APPLY

Email a cover letter (required) with your most recent resume attached to mobiledesigngig@thehiredguns.com. The cover letter should detail your experience relevant to this opportunity and include the reasons for your interest in the position.

No phone calls or faxes, please.

Second Life Virtual Recruitment Fair

For the past several months, several clients have approached us about the concept of doing a Second Life Virtual Recruitment Fair. Although the idea of Virtual Interviews has been floating around for some time, there has been a recent deployment of such a campaign in the U.K. While the goal of this particular campaign is to source English spies, there has been quite a few mobile companies recently planning to use similar tactics for their recruitment strategy.

The process is simple. As a Candidate, you create an account on Second Life and in the process - a custom-made avatar. From there, you explore the world of the Employer. You can learn about the company's culture, benefits, job opportunities and career resources. You eventually submit a CV / Resume to a staffing manager (avatar) and wait to be evaluated. If chosen for an interview, you are invited back at a pre-scheduled date / time to conduct a Virtual Interview with the recruiter.

While the pre-screening process does not occur exactly in real-time, the interview is real and live. The use of avatars in recruitment has been growing considerably in the past year, particularly in the UK and Asia, and companies are finding this method of sourcing as a positive, innovative and friendly approach to candidate introduction.

If you're interested in such an HR Online Marketing campaign for your company, please contact Rob Salerno at 646-320-5162 or email rob (at) hronlinemarketing.com
