Social Intelligence employee spotlight: 7 questions with Ben

December 7, 2017 by Social Intel

We’ve added a few new members to our team over the past few months. Keep reading to get to know our fantastic Marketing Manager, Ben!

7 Questions with Ben

What is your role at Social Intelligence?

I am the Marketing Manager for Social Intelligence, which means that it’s my job to get the word out about who we are and what we do– not unlike these questions!

Where would you like to travel to?

I’m very fortunate to have traveled all over the world (I even lived in Kenya for a few years growing up), but I’ve never had the chance to visit Iceland and I have some serious FOMO about it.

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

That’s a tricky one… there’s so much to be learned out there! If I had to choose, I would learn to speak every language in the world. Just imagine what else you could learn if you had the world as your teacher.

What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?

I have one favorite activity that I suppose you could classify as both indoor and outdoor. I love to sing, anywhere and anytime, but especially when it rains.

What is your favorite aspect of your job?

The best part of being a marketer is the daily privilege of getting to know your own brand. Every time I write something, plan an event, or talk to a customer, I get a little bit closer to the center of who we are as a business. It’s a process that gives as much as it takes, and it’s not hard to find a moment of joy in that at least once a day.

What did you want your adult profession to be when you were a kid?

When I was a kid I wanted to be a famous actor with side gigs in marine biology, psychology, and international trampolining. Totally attainable, right? I think the dream is still alive in me somewhere.

Fill in the blank: If you really knew me, you’d know _____.

If you really knew me, you’d know that every moment is an opportunity to quote musical theatre.

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

I’d like to learn how to play the violin.

What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?

Indoor: reading, watching baseball, writing, yoga. Outdoor: going to the beach, hiking, playing tennis.

What is your favorite aspect of your job?

Doing my best to keep all of our clients happy and satisfied with our product, and helping with any questions or concerns that come up.

Teacher and lawyer were both up there.

This week we continue our employee spotlight series by getting to know our business development manager, Jonny, a bit better. You can find the complete series here.

7 Questions with Jonny

What is your role at Social Intelligence?

I am the Business Development Manager. My role is to identify new business opportunities like new markets, partnerships, new ways to reach existing markets, or new product or service offerings to better meet the needs of existing markets. Then I go out and turn those opportunities into more revenue.

Where would you like to travel to?

I would love to go sailing in the British Virgin Islands or in the Mediterranean around Greece and Turkey. But I have a feeling the next trip will be to Italy…

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

Be a pilot!

What is your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?

There are a lot. Basketball, camping, hiking & sailing with my wife top the list.

What is your favorite aspect of your job?

Sales and sports have so much in common, and like in sports you play hard and see results. That’s what I like most about my work. I know that if I work my hardest I’m absolutely going to see results and be rewarded for it.

What did you want your adult profession to be when you were a kid?

I loved trains as a kid and wanted to be a train engineer.

Fill in the blank: If you really knew me, you’d know _____.

I got my wife’s phone number at a Star Wars movie.

Join our upcoming webcast on social media and employment!

September 21, 2017 by Social Intel

We are pleased to announce that our team is presenting an upcoming webcast on social media and employment. Social Intelligence president, Bianca Lager, and business development manager, Jonny Hawley, will host the hour-long presentation next week. “Social Media and Employment: Potent Benefits, Easily Avoided Risks” will begin at 1:00 PM ET on September 27th.

Over the past ten years, social media has become pervasive part of our lives. Because it offers such valuable insight about a candidate, it makes sense that companies have started to use social media to vet potential employees. However, it can be problematic for an organization to go through a candidate’s social media in-house.

During the webcast, you’ll learn:

-How social media background checks can reduce your risk for negligent hiring
-What information is relevant to a hiring decision and how to avoid protected class violations
-What a thorough social media search should include
-Compliance rules for conducting an online screening
-Real life examples of social media causing consequences for both organizations and employees
-What to avoid when scouting a social media vendor
-Best practices for creating a social media policy at your company

Are you interested in attending our webcast? Register for free at HR.com. We hope to see you there! If you can’t make it and would like to learn more about our product, give us a call at 888-748-3281. Our team would be happy to discuss the product further with you.
