Good morning @here I made a couple changes to the JD before I send to Cory. I removed the 75% of benefits paid by employer and the remote work option. This position is in office only. Thank you!

@deleted-U05DY7UGM2L, please send a "thank you letter" to this email, she intereviewed for the AI project data engineer and was too novice per @James Scott. And we'll go ahead and send the updated resume to Cory, updating it to lead or senior to not waste our time. We'll be sure to send candidates to @Cameron Rentch first as normal. This person as a referral from James Turner.

Laura McRae <mcraeklaura@gmail.com>

Ryan (ryan@themedialab.agency)
2024-12-04 14:55:41

@James Scott, Cory is our Recruiter, he will get more candidates, Shellie did not want to send Laura McCrae if she was a Cory sent candidate

what is the normal on boarding procedure? i think ryan has handled them all but i can step in and assist and handle josh since he is on my team

2024-12-23 09:12:02

Thanks @James Scott. I would need to know what computer programs he'll need access to and what department he'll be seated in. I am assuming he'll need a laptop and will be seated in integrations, but want to confirm. Also, I'll get him a Shield Legal email address.

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2024-12-23 09:14:08

If he is sitting with us maybe he takes Darrell’s seat and we put Darrell against the window since he mostly works from home

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2024-12-23 09:15:03

Is Josh 5 days in office?

He should be in office 5 days

👍 Nicholas McFadden
Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2024-12-23 09:17:31

Then I’d think he would be more comfortable and feel more included by sitting where Darrell is and when Darrell is in he can just use one of the tables against the window or set up in my office

@Nicholas McFadden when did Darrel become remote? I did not approve this he needs to be in office thanks.

Nicholas McFadden (nickmcfadden@shield-legal.com)
2024-12-23 12:35:04

It isn’t a consistent thing, I don’t keep tabs on him to be honest since he reports to you directly. What I do know is that he has had a hard time taking meetings with clients and couldn’t get rooms so would take some of the bigger ones from home, in general programming is nicer without all the distraction too, and then recently he hasn’t been in because his car got totaled so he was looking to get a new car and working from home in the interim.

@James Scott I will speak with Dustin and Shellie today about this incident. Completely unacceptable and we will investigate and monitor it moving forward. Please let me know if you hear anything arises and let Josh now that he can come to me with anything too.

Ryan (ryan@themedialab.agency)
2025-04-22 13:20:53

@deleted-U05DY7UGM2L, can you speak to Josh ASAP about the struggles with the AI project, James had 3rd incident today after his PTO return.

Confirm his potential interest in the BI side with @Nicholas McFadden interviewing him ASAP. @James Scott has to focus on cleaning up some data structure mistakes that broke the dashboard and perform Josh's job function.

@deleted-U05DY7UGM2L, I will loop Cory into a replacement search with us.

deleted-U05DY7UGM2L
2025-04-22 14:00:28

@Ryan Cory isn't on Slack anymore. I need specific information before I call Josh. Can we meet with James?

2025-04-22 14:03:10

@Ryan when would you be free for a call?

Cameron Rentch (cameron@internetthings.com)
2025-04-22 14:06:48

@Ryan @Nicholas McFadden @deleted-U05DY7UGM2L if Josh is problematic is there a reason we are considering moving him to another department?

James Scott (jamesscott@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-22 14:10:05

@Cameron Rentch not problematic no, his skill set isn’t up to par with what I need to move this project forward. Long story short it’s Been more of a setback than anything

Cameron Rentch (cameron@internetthings.com)
2025-04-22 14:17:25

Ok @James Scott

Ryan (ryan@themedialab.agency)
2025-04-23 09:36:52

Ryan (ryan@themedialab.agency)
2025-04-23 09:37:53

@Cameron Rentch, if Nick does not see a use for Josh in B.I. data engineering, we would terminate him. Will get @deleted-U05DY7UGM2L the info, talk to Josh, have Josh interview with Nick M., and Shellie will get Cory on candidates for @James Scott
