An Offer They Can't Refuse

You may not all have noticed it, but the world of recruitment has changed. This is no longer an environment in which the employer holds all the cards. It is much more of a meeting of equals where the employee has as many choices and opportunities as he or she has ever had.

The Liddall Paradox

Congratulations to the motor industry in 2007 – I don’t know how you all did it, but against such an inauspicious background to come up with one of the best years on record is impressive.

All about the emotional contract

"A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on".

A great quote from the late Samuel Goldwyn, but don't pay too much attention to it if you are serious about recruiting. The market is too competitive, recruitment mistakes too expensive, staff turnover is too costly to ignore the promises made at interview as soon as someone starts work.

You spend too much on recruitment.

Okay, so I don't actually want to discourage you from recruiting -- turkeys do not vote for Christmas -- but we have been doing some work on staff retention recently, and we were surprised. Surprised how much money you will spend on recruitment in the next 12 months, and how little on keeping those very expensive recruits.

Play fair – save money.

Sitting where we are, in the middle, we can tell that it is a difficult automotive market.

You are fed up with your treatment.

Since the start of this year, we have been doing some research. Extensive research amongst candidates to find out what you think of your career, your future and how the industry serves you.

Our Interim Solution

My article last week regarding interim management generated quite a response. And, it has to be said, quite a number of enquiries.

Short-term fix can solve long-term problems?

Every business gets faced with a crisis, either real or imagined, from time to time. How you deal with it determines the strength of your management, and the long-term future of the company.
