Recruitment: The Penny in Your Pocket !

When we recruit, we are enrolling, enlisting that new person needed to fit into the culture of the workplace.
You may just want someone who gets it done, does the job, and keeps things ship shape or you may want that certain someone who makes the difference as well. Brings a certain something to the team that was lacking.

Once upon a time in a marketing office, there stood a marketing manager.
Jasmine had just finished collecting stats for a report and updating the company website. She felt flat, yes as flat as a pancake without any sugar or lemon. She wondered how the rest of the week would turn out. Or would it just be a flop?

Jasmine walked over to the window and slowly pulled the glossed sash upwards.
The smell of fresh air was divine as it filtered up her nose, then down her throat, to her lungs. She looked over to the coffee shop down the road. And decided it was time for hot chocolate! But what was this, she had left her purse at home. Feeling disappointed she turned round to find young Abigail standing in the office. “I was going to get a hot chocci, but I forgot my purse,” she said. Jasmine put her hand in her cardigan pocket and found a little brown penny.

“Is that all you have?” asked Abigail “Here, have this” she said as she took a fiver out of her trouser pocket. “And here is my project proposal Jasmine, I decided to print it out, which is not the done thing I know. Hope that’s ok?”

Jasmine took the report and read the first paragraph. Brilliant, a creative thinker, who can get it done and is connected and kind enough to help me out.
What a good choice I made taking her on.

That Hiring Time
Recruitment should never be a boring process and there can be fun when deciding which ingredients would fit into your office. You have choices to make. And that is where you need to understand what you have, to know what you need. Getting it right is like that extra shot of coffee that injects a little something into the office environment.

So tell me what your business can do for us?

After speaking to many small business owners recently who do not talk to their customers or interact through social media I felt passionately about why they should. So let's see what came to mind... A Story...Ralph's Printers. Ralph stood at the shop door. He then realized he was blocking the way into his new business. He observed his two new staff members dealing with phone & online orders and people arriving with inquiries and new jobs. All was well.  Suddenly, he was being talked to!. He stood back and listened!. Lots of questions were coming out of a man's mouth towards him. Feeling overwhelmed he interrupted the man and pointed to the front desk. They will deal with you he abruptly added. Ralph, went back into the office, shut the door, and opened up a spreadsheet. Wasted Opportunities There are times when keeping your mouth shut is vital in business. You can see from the short story above that Ralph had an opportunity to answer questions, get to know a potential c...
