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.

If it is not the penguins, it’s the armadillos, but then again you do have the moose to contend with!

Yes, if it is not one thing it is another. The world of recruitment never runs smoothly. Do you aim for a working day that runs like an efficient machine, like a finely made brass wheel, perfect in its, erm, roundness? In this tale of recruitment woe, we see how working with a company that fits you snuggly, can make all the difference. Penguins! The trouble with penguins is they are hard to find and tend to congregate where fish stock resides. Therefore, far-flung places next to the sea. So, you gather your belongings and pack your rucksack, and off you go. Your new electric car means it will take you a bit longer, but hey ho, you like a sixty-hour working week and traveling to the far reaches of the country to see rare species. Armadillos You arrive and undo your padded ski jacket and take off your two fleeces, two silk vests to reveal your shirt and tie. You leave your Salopettes on just for good measure. You are met in the reception area with a smile and a cuppa by Agnes the tea lad...
