Tell me more about Resident Advisor?
Resident Advisor (RA for short) is a vibrant and eclectic tech company that supports local electronic music scenes around the globe. RA’s goal is to shine a light on the passionate people and communities around the world that make electronic music tick.
What are their company values?
“Our purpose is simple: to support local electronic music scenes around the globe.”
RA is a creative company that values independence, community and a shared love of electronic music 🎶
💭 They are an organisation that values healthy friction and inclusion. Head of People & Culture; Mike Zinkiewich emphasises how it’s so healthy to disagree, celebrate differences and the importance of psychological safety, and move beyond a culture of hiring people that are “like me.”
🧠 Mike Zinkiewich, RA’s Head of People & Culture contributed to Mind’s Mental Health in Electronic Music campaign.
“Have a look at the link for guides for organisations, artists/managers, employees and freelancers as well as some videos from myself and others in the industry. Big ups to Ninja Tune, Paradigm, Percolate and POLY for putting it all together!” — Mike
