It is too easy to become a recruiter. I suppose that can be said for a variety of disciplines, but I would wonder how closely those positions affect the bottom line the way recruiting does. A company is powered by its people and the gas of that engine is recruiting. Staffing professionals know this, C-level executives are aware of the fact and likewise savvy investors who bet on the jockey rather than the horse they ride on. However, across many organizations the staffing department is grudgingly regarded as a resource of necessity that is wholly unappreciated. To make an unfair comparison, recruiters are often thought of like Firemen; well appreciated in times of fire, but forgotten otherwise.

Risk Taking, Risk Avoidance & Risk Management
Only a few years ago my approach to business was very much along the lines of risk avoidance. I didn't want to take risk, not at all.In the last few years I have spent more time than ever with risk takers. Talking and meeting with these people has been, and continues to be, extremely stimulating. Through conversations I realised that, despite my previous perceptions, there was an ounce of entrepreneurship within me. In fact, not an ounce but a seed and like all seeds it needed nurturing to grow. I have been focussing on this ever since and channelling my energy and time toward this. On

Financing Your Business by Factoring Invoices
Waiting 30, 40 or even 60 days to get invoices paid can be a major challenge for any business owner. Although the work has been completed and delivered, the payment will come in weeks. In the meantime, the business has to pay employees, rent and regular expenses. If your business has a substantial cash reserve, this should not be a major problem.But, what if your business doesn't have substantial cash reserve? Many owners will try to get a business loan. But that won't help. Why? Because getting a business loan is almost impossible unless the business owner has good credit and can prove three years wor

Brand Management: Customer vs. Employee
When it’s all said and done, all you’re truly left with at the end of the day is your company’s brand and what your brand stands for in the minds of both your customers and employees. But do you manage your company brand for the benefit of both constituencies: customers and employees?Most companies that I consult with focus their brand management efforts solely on the customer.
