Every organization has a culture, however not all company cultures are positive, add value to the individuals and organization, or are thriving. A healthy culture has direct benefits for your employees and customer base which provide indirect benefits for your business by way of prosperity, productivity, and profitability.

When it comes to corporate culture, it is often difficult to define and much harder to build. Culture is most often thought of as the ways people in an organization behave, and the attitudes and beliefs that inform those behaviors.

Competing for talent on compensation alone is like trying to attract more customers based solely on price and discounts to drive traffic. There is a limit to how far you can continue to go without it negatively impacting your business profitability. But is company culture enough to woo and satisfy employees? Is it time for compensation as the ultimate bargaining chip to take
We make changes all the time without too much thought or effort. We change our workout routines, cell phone carriers, and paint colors in our homes.

Sourcing, recruiting, and hiring new employees is tough. It’s exactly why recruitment firms like ours exist, providing expertise and the needed resources growing organizations need. So when that perfect-fit candidate who has progressed through the interviews and accepted your job offer now tells you they are taking a counter offer, those crushing feelings of frustration and
As consumers of products and services, we love guarantees. The idea that a company will stand behind its offerings should anything go wrong gives us peace of mind and comfort that we are making a good buying decision. We almost expect them now, and the same is true for recruitment guarantees.
Including a guarantee in a contract between a recruitment firm and a hiring
Recruitment fees aren’t often discussed or explained. The common understanding is that agencies charge hiring companies a contingency fee based on the first-year earnings of the hired candidates. Retainer fees come into play in specific situations, such as for executive-level searches or organizations that proactively remain in a constant hiring mode. While true, not all
There is a phrase frequently used in business settings to justify certain expenses: sometimes you need to spend money in order to make money.
