Suggestions beyond the wording
I’d also add a few screening elements to improve candidate quality:
- Ask applicants to include their specific role on each portfolio project (modeling, lighting, materials, rendering, optimization, etc.).
- Request real-time Unreal Engine work, not just rendered stills.
- State that shortlisted candidates will complete a paid technical assessment or live production exercise.
- Mention that experience with large-scale residential and mixed-use developments is preferred, as this aligns closely with your production work and helps filter candidates from gaming or VFX backgrounds.
