Why Hi-Res Kills?
Feeling the need for greater technical interchange and improvement in the industry’s ability to attract new talent, Hi-Res kills was conceived as a technical and networking oasis in a chaotic graphic arts industry that on one hand sees a decline in interested entrants and on the other hand has a history as rich as any practice in the world. In this oasis we tie academia and industry, gurus and practitioners, hiring managers and jobseekers, and make as much meaningful research as we can available to industry people FREE OF CHARGE. On the industrial networking side hiring managers can see what future first round draft choices and available free agents say and feel; students can read about important stuff that is happening in the real world and pick their future bosses - maybe they’ll graduate with a Print Management degree and decide to work in the industry; job seekers can add to their knowledge base and see who it is for whom they REALLY want to work; important technical and business topics can be talked about with some of the greatest minds in the country so the health of the industry can improve; and all will be right with the printing world.
Who is Hireskills.com?
Hireskills.com, the owners of this blog, are the industry’s leading job board, focusing strictly on web-based hiring solutions for the graphic arts industry.
You will see advertised companies on Hi-Res Kills - these are subscribers to Hireskills’ services and people that might want to hire you.
There are three people responsible for this blog:
Hireskills.com’s Chief Architect is Tony Gilmore. Tony has been in the printing industry and graphic arts in general for most of his adult life and he’s getting closer and closer to retirement. I mean, he’s within months! Tony put Hireskills.com together with the support and funding of David Clark, Chairman of Hireskills.com.
Jack Lecza, the GM of Hireskills.com and founder of Hi-Res Kills, is the guy who thought up this thing in July. A month later Dr. Joe Webb wrote on WhatTheyThink.com:
“Social networking may become business networking if Rupert Murdoch finds a way to merge the MySpace concept with the Online Wall Street Journal”.
Well,we’re not Rupert Murdoch or the WSJ Online, but we’re sure the industry is ready for business networking with a focus, and that’s why we’re all here.
