Steve Rennie, longtime manager of Incubus and a driving force behind the band’s multi-platinum commercial success, has launched Renmanmb.com, an online gathering place for musicians and music professionals trying to ‘break in’ to the business. Full of exclusive content and video, the site is home to Rennie’s weekly web show Renman MB Live where aspiring artists gain “insider access” to the music industry. Each week, Rennie opens his office doors to aspiring artists from different musical genres, giving them his no-holds-barred feedback on what they are doing right – and wrong – on their journey to success. Guests on Rennie’s live webcast get the opportunity to tap into his 30+ years of music industry contacts from producers, to marketing executives, to signed bands who are calling in and dropping by the show. Talent is not enough – Renman’s “fuck the gatekeepers” approach empowers artists to smash through the barriers and do what he hopes they will do; “Dream It. Do It”.

Results of interviewing and surveying human resource professionals, hiring managers, recruiters, and job applicants suggest employers use ad-hoc seemingly idiosyncratic strategies, incorporating new information sources to evaluate applicants. These processes often occur outside current standards for personnel selection and employment protection. Decisions often rely on stereotypical and iconic information, are affected by information noise and the absence of information, and typically fail to account for alternative perspectives.
