Suite’s cloud storage makes it possible to grow your network and work with remote collaborators in real-time.
Regardless of your profession and your industry, finding the best people for the job is the ever-present crux. To put it simply, hiring is hard, and sifting through countless applications (or a lack thereof) can be daunting and even disheartening. Not only are you trying to find someone who can accomplish the job in this search, you’re trying to find the right person for it.
In the past, it made more sense to look locally when hiring creative talent. Hiring an editor who isn’t local costs additional time and money. Collaborating with someone even just a few hours away used to be exhausting, cumbersome and unproductive, adding time and unnecessary expenses to the post-production process. For these reasons, many studios long-opted to find talent that was close to home or require potential candidates to relocate closer to the studio.
Suite's cloud storage can completely change the hiring mindset. With the ability to upload files to a centralized storage location that is accessible from anywhere, teams no longer need to be in the same room to get that same over-the-shoulder editing experience.
Even better, rather than focusing on logistics, studios can now focus their time and energy on actually working with their creators and clients. No more tracking packages, no more conference calls, and no more wondering if you heard the client’s comments correctly. With Suite, working with someone (or teams of people) across the globe feels like they are in the office with you.
As you look to hire for your next project, whether you’re just looking for a little extra help on a specific cut or a client needs VFX work that only a specialized CGI shop can provide, Suite’s cloud storage opens the door to collaborating with a bigger network more easily, allowing studios to to bring in qualified talent from around the world.
Go ahead, we encourage you to take on your biggest project yet. Sure, it might require a hiring process to get more hands on-deck. But using cloud technology you now have the ability to expand your talent pool to include anyone in the world. Challenge yourself to find that team member that you’ve been missing, no matter their location, and find your creative stride working collaboratively in real-time with Suite’s cloud storage.
Say goodbye to questioning your progress and your personnel—instead of hoping your team is aligned, Suite makes it possible for everyone to work together, storing, saving, and sharing work as if you were working in the same studio.
