We’ve all seen conductors stand in front of their orchestra … waving their arms in the air. However … most of us don’t appreciate the true value of their contribution.
In fact … the conductor’s primary purpose is to keep the orchestra coordinated, so each musician knows when to start and stop playing – at the exact right times.
Interestingly enough, the radius of the conductor’s motions (the exaggerated, circular flailing of the arms) appears to have zero impact on perceived beat. Apparently … it’s the velocity and acceleration of their motions that are the key factor in determining beat!
What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
Well … not much, really.
That said … our client (who happens to be a national pharmacy chain) is looking for a conductor of sorts.
Specifically … they’re looking for a Pharmacy Manager to strategically guide their Operations team to “make some wonderful music” of their own!
