They must have an analytical mind and an understanding of the elements of a film exists. For this new feature we are looking for someone who is familiar with English content. He or she is primarily Dutch tagging content. “
Candidates will be evaluated based on their resumes. Then they go through tests in which they must demonstrate a knowledge of narrative structures. For the final round, analyze a test film on the basis of the comprehensive Netflixformulier, candidates must have a 50-page manual plow. “We are very specific,” laughs Yellin. “With the form we hope subjectivity of a movie, to objectify as much as possible. Personal taste or preferences are filtered out.”

Whether the tagger fulltime going to work, is not yet clear. “That will depend on the pace of work that the tagger chooses,” said Yellin. “Will be, how much he or she paid we do not know. Let’s just say that we pay a very fair wage.” Hold “
First tagger in Europe
The tagger for the Flemish and Dutch market is the first on the European continent. At the beginning of the summer they were already looking for a British colleague for more than 40 US taggers. “In the Netherlands we have been active, and that was one of the reasons for this market to post a vacancy. In the other European countries, the plans for such vacancy for the time being not so concrete.”
