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.

Pegasus: Publicity Agents with Wings! So, why not...

Settle down in a comfy chair with a hazelnut, cream billabong, nut crush latte.... Pegasus: Publicity Agents with Wings! Peg and her sis, Nora, had done it! Well, you might say, done what Sonya? It all began with the new contract with the much-acclaimed Gorgon Biscuit Empire. It had been a crummy year, and the girls looked forward to receiving a large dossier containing a yummy filling, the client's brief. But instead of a thick layer of paper, detailing requirements, they found a sheet of paper with two words written in bright pink felt tip. UNICORN SANDWICH Well, Peg and her sis were baffled. Their feathers had been ruffled! They both felt as though they had snakes in their hair as they decided on their plan of action. Today's client meeting would be refreshing, and different. And it definitely would Involve mind mapping! Very soon they realized that Gorgon Biscuits had Pegasus written all over them. This was no conservative pale rich tea crust of a company. It was a fandang...
