Our hiring approach
Dave has final yes on every hire. Nothing here is an offer until he says so.
Haddie runs the day to day. She keeps the pipeline moving, screens against the briefs, and queues the decisions only Dave can make.
Hiring order: 1) Female vocalist ($65/hr), 2) Lawyer ($60/hr), 3) Social & partnerships, 4) Phone callers. Plus the narrative writer, which Dave calls a key hire.
Vocalist applicants send a singing video via Instagram DM. Producer applicants send their tracks. (Same as the public hiring page.)
Fiverr checks include bot-outreached threads, not just email replies, so nobody slips through.
Mira is painful to read, so this page is the source of truth. It gets updated from Fiverr: every listing, every applicant, with name, rate, and links to their videos and work. Dave never has to open Mira.
New applicants get added here with their rate and work links. Dave reviews on this page and gives the yes or no.
