HIREBREW PILOT BRIEF

WORKFLOW TO EVALUATE
From first conversation to studio contribution.
Try a sample technical artist journey that brings creative and engineering perspectives together.

HANDOFFS
Define | Discipline lead + HR
Make the capability gap specific
Create the role request around the work the team needs. Clarify the difference between essential experience and skills the studio can help a new colleague develop.

Interview | Art + engineering panel
Connect the assessment perspectives
Explore panel scorecards for craft, technical reasoning and collaboration. Keep the candidate informed through the two-way messaging journey while the team reviews its evidence.

Join | Manager + new hire
Build a shared first-month map
Assign introductions and learning tasks, then agree on achievable early goals. Make any specialist setup dependency visible without claiming automatic provisioning.

Develop | Discipline lead + employee
Keep the person in the picture
Use check-ins to discuss progress and changing learning needs. Explore development opportunities alongside project work, while production schedules remain in the studio's existing tools.

PILOT SCOPE
Choose one discipline and one real handoff.
Use sample records for a hire involving two disciplines. Include a studio team working across locations if that reflects your operating model.

VALIDATION CHECKLIST
[ ] Interviewers know which evidence they are responsible for.
[ ] Specialist onboarding dependencies have named owners.
[ ] The first review includes learning and development, not only output.

BOUNDARIES
Game production scheduling, asset pipelines, contractor administration and engine integrations are outside the demonstrated people-workflow scope.

AI EVALUATION
Brew's illustrative drafts can help frame an onboarding conversation. A discipline lead should check relevance and workload, and exclude confidential game assets or unreleased project information.
Example prompt: Draft first-month check-in topics for a technical artist joining a cross-discipline studio team.

NEXT STEP
Assign an owner, test with sample data, record gaps and agree acceptance criteria before any live rollout. This is a planning document, not a booking, service commitment or confirmation of production readiness.
