Identifying Business Talent for Key Opportunities.

Jim Collins has a great article in May 2009 edition of Business Week on the most important traits to getting and employing the "Right People In Key Seats".

The right talent at the right time, is a business competitive advantage. Being well networked can make a huge difference, because people understand your business values, and their business colleagues. Instead of paying to advertise and source your jobs individually, leveraging a well networked employment partner like HFCN, can really work to your advantage.

It takes time, money and resources to read, respond, schedule, store. and communicate interview details. An employment partner who specializes in this can save you time, money and resources, in addition to helping you find that ideal right resource to your needs. No more do you have to advertise jobs, and sift through hundreds of resumes to identify the few candidates you do wish to interview.

What are the most important work style traits, consistently displayed in your talent force?

Creating Business Excellence: Social Networking

A different sort of business topic. A friend from my network asked how social networking can create opportunity for ourselves and our friends. A question so compelling it made me reflect to respond. A question so profound it requires us to think more completely about our relationship to deliberate opportunity creation!

What is the Mindset? Where are the Opportunities? How to begin?

MINDSET:
We are meaningful professionals connected to something far larger than ourselves! Let us embrace that form, that possibility, and that opportunity.
  1. Thoughts become things-- Great happens! Energize goodness, don't romance limitation.
  2. Choose to inspire and be inspired. Organize body, mind and business to attract, inspire, and produce excellence.
  3. Accept responsibility as a conduit for business good. Stay out of our way and let good happen. Let us realize with open hearts, minds, and networks- a new provision for encouragement, business good, and prosperity.
Opportunities: Advanced networking opportunity exists, when part of win win business community. Hard work, experience and synergy create infinitely more opportunity and business value compounded than alone.
  1. "Viral Marketing" is NOT about sharing links.. it IS about finding natural business synergies, collaborators, and talent with a shared value and interest to working with you.
  2. Networking and Sharing! "Brands" grow when relationships matter most.
  3. Visualize value and crispness refined and polished in participation
