COMPETENT CUSTOMER CONTACT LEADERS ARE KEY TO DRIVE YOUR BUSINESS GROWTH

Some of TeamDJ have seen Horrible Bosses 2 in recent weeks, not the best film in the world, (in our humble opinions).  Do not worry, we are not here to challenge Claudia Winkleman for the Film 2016 gig, but it did get us thinking of just how important it is for both business and employee at having respected, competent managers and leaders.…

Do you hate receiving pointless annoying cold calls? When was the last time a cold caller sold you?

While I was diligently "working the phone" making my cold calls, I was interrupted by my mobile phone ringing. As soon as I answered the sales person on the other end of the line swung into action with her very well rehearsed sales script. I swiftly cut…

The cost of healthcare benefits can make as big of a dent in a recruiter’s level of happiness as it does in the company budget. Anytime you have to make benefits decisions, the associated costs can keep you up at night.  

But you also have to remember your responsibility to the company to attract top talent from a limited pool of qualified candidates. Trying to offer…

Over the last five years, recruiting leaders have invested increasingly larger shares of their recruitment budget into Employer Branding, Mobile Recruiting, and Recruitment Analytics. This is a great trend. But hidden within this good news are signs of a huge problem. Despite these trends,…

Employees go about their daily activities every week, waiting for the project that breaks them from their positions and gives them the opportunity to climb the ladder. However, while this may be true for companies in the movies, it’s not always the…

By 2025, millennials, or Generation Y, will make up the majority of the workforce. But are they ready for it? And is the workforce ready for them?

We’ve pulled together some key stats from surveys by Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Forbes and Payscale to find out what is in store for the next generation of business leaders, and help us to prepare for them.

Because,…

Did you know that hiring and training a new employee costs up to five times more than retaining an employee?

It doesn't need to be so costly, however to add to your talent team. When you streamline your hiring, you not only cut hiring costs dramatically, but you make it easier to replace current employees who may not be performing up to par.

As the following…

What happens in an organization where minorities are in leadership and the majority is subject to discrimination? Before we set out on this road to explore “reverse discrimination” let us be clear on a few things:

1)     Reverse discrimination is not equal to racism. Racism is more than a dislike or hatred of a person based on their race. It is an institutional…

I like you, you retweet me, we tell our network about what we’re doing this weekend.  Whether your personal life is scattered over Facebook dashboards or you diligently share relevant articles with your LinkedIn network, social media is an important pillar in today’s communications.  It’s no surprise that it plays an important role in recruiting as well.

Looking for the talent you need will rarely be as simple as waiting for the right applicant to walk…

While the phrase "we're all tech companies now" is bordering on entry into the cliche hall of fame, what it means to recruiting strategies in every type of business is bordering on crisis.

What is the difference between a headhunter and a recruiter? Many years of experience show that these two functions require two completely different sets of skills. Ideally, an HR director should possess all of them. This is, however, more of an imaginary situation rather than reality. So let’s take a look at things that headhunters and recruiters do differently in terms of functions,…

There has been a long drawn out debate on whether Recruitment and Sourcing are different functions. We @SourcingAdda wanted to find out different perspectives about it and to confirm our views about the subject at hand.

Someone called me a faggot.

Now, this is the first time I’ve ever been called a faggot. Typing that f-word twice actually makes me feel really uncomfortable. I don’t think it’s an ok word to use. In fact, I can’t think of a single instance in which using it is ok. I googled just to confirm the “dictionary definition” is in fact a bundle of sticks. But even the digital…

Crucial Conversations are risky and are generally high stakes that embrace strong emotions and varied opinions. Moreover, such conversations are unavoidable and often come up when we are unprepared and defenceless. Generally, as a human nature, we try to avoid discussions we fear will hurt us or worsen the situation. Whether one-to-one interactions are personal or professional, we strive to back away from such conversations as these bring anger, pain, fear,…

So you've had it with your career.

It's mundane, no longer fulfilling and maybe it's time to break up with it. But what can you do instead?

For many people, the idea of a franchise is appealing in many ways, and owning a franchise can be the perfect balance you are looking for and make for a fairly easy, solid career change.
