I first heard of the Irvine Company from Kim Feistel of Arbonne (the “Mercedes of Beauty”) — she pointed out that Irvine is run by “The Other Donald” as in Donald Bren who at a $15 billion net worth is 3X richer than Donald Trump (see this Forbes profile for more).
When I checked out Irvine’s talent acquisition strategy, I was impressed to see a video job description on Twitter for this Sales Specialist (unusual for a real estate firm I had never heard of).
Marketing 101 is to get the “attention” of a candidate — these Twitter job descriptions below (using both video and pictures) certainly got my attention. Nice work, Irvine.
