MAAG joins forces with Grace Blue for TRANSITION
MAAG is happy to announce it is supporting a new free-to-use platform called Transition. Developed by Grace Blue Partnership - a global executive search firm in the advertising, media, and marketing industry, this pro bono collaboration aims to help those who have been made redundant across these sectors due to the coronavirus.
Transition aims to offer those who have been displaced job opportunities, content and advice on career development. Applicants can register and upload their details, skills and experience to ensure once opportunities arise, they’re able to connect to companies with no charge for both parties.
Grace Blue has invited our industry to join forces to support this global initiative across our community as the pandemic disrupts employment. To date, Transition is supported by more than 30 global trade associations and organisations, including the Advertising Association
Partners are providing content and guidance in response to the widespread impact on talent retention. The site highlights current job opportunities from businesses such as Amazon, Fortnum & Mason., and Headspace. Organisations are encouraged to join efforts to create opportunities for those out of work.
Grace Blue estimates the coronavirus crisis could have implications on the career development of advertising, media, and marketing professionals, posing a real threat to strategic, creative, and technical capabilities for brands around the world. Transition has been created to limit this impact by providing a community-based platform for displaced talent to rapidly connect with employers, who are adapting quickly to a different set of customer behaviours, and need specialist expertise to transform business models.
Three ways you can help us support this initiative:
1. If you or anyone in your organisation or network is being affected by furloughing or redundancies, please share the details of the platform as a potential resource for them
2. Any informative or inspirational content that you or your organisation could share on the platform is very welcome
3. As time goes on, if the organisation you work for begins planning for recruitment, please ask them to post any open roles on the platform, where they’ll be able to find and hire talent, free of charge
