I particularly enjoy books for their ability to encapsulate years of knowledge into a few hundred pages of text.
Authors can put an entire lifetime of experience onto the page, and those who read their work can absorb all of that knowledge in only a few hours. Books are almost magical.
You can take the same concept and apply it to the hiring process. If an organization has a role to fill, it can hire someone with decades of experience. Whether or not you can teach an old dog new tricks in another story.
In January, the RFOX VALT metaverse ecosystem hired at least four new people helping to make the digital space come alive. Previous AMAs with the RFOX CEO stated that 15 people are working on the VALT’s game aspect alone.
We haven’t been provided with a full-blown roster. But within a new meet the VALT team article, five key players describe how they’re lending their expertise to building the metaverse for everyone.
This isn’t just a handful of people trudging along and hoping for the best. Leadership is vital, and development happens inside a studio containing individuals with distinct roles:
- Product Owner
- Studio Director
- Art Director
- Technical Game Designer
- 2D Concept Artist
Startup environments tend to force founders to wear many hats. Back in RFOX’s heyday — when it was known as RedFOX Labs — the small team had overlapping roles and little sense of boundaries.
But now that the team has ballooned and is approaching 100 members, teammates are free to focus on what they do best. That freedom is a boon for investors because we all know that when you love what you do, it doesn’t seem like work, which in turn leads to excellent quality.
If you’ve been skeptical that RFOX won’t deliver a fantastic metaverse experience, the spate of new hires should put your concerns at ease. Please look into the VALT roadmap to see what’s headed our way.
It’s only January and this month’s hires include a C-level exec as well as a small army of metaverse builders. Make no mistake about it; by hiring top-notch talent, the VALT will become an immersive virtual realm like no other. See you on the inside!
