- Sweetwater Sound
Finding the right person for the job of sales engineer at Sweetwater Sound is, according to Director of Human Resources Jeff McDonald, “like finding a needle in a haystack.” McDonald explains that the sales engineer position is unique because candidates must have both left- and right-brained skills working at the same time. “Generally speaking, highly creative types aren’t necessarily also strong technically,” he says. “Good sales engineers need to be conversant, intuitive, caring and smart. They need great people skills to deliver the brand of outrageous customer service we’re famous for. They must be empathetic listeners, but also assertive enough to ultimately sell their product. The kicker is that they also need deep technical chops in the field of computer recording and music to sell these fairly complex products.”

- Five Reasons To Think About A Hiring System
Customized hiring packages. Talent acquisition systems. Complete solutions. They’re all ways of talking about the newest trend in HR - a customized, many-faceted plan designed to transform, streamline and boost the quality of your hiring.
|
- Help Your Good Hires Survive In Tough Economic Times
Do your employees feel secure in their jobs? It’s difficult for managers and supervisors to know for sure. In these tough economic times – especially if your company has recently experienced layoffs or there’s a whisper of staff cuts in the wind – it’s not uncommon for even the best employees to feel insecure and anxious about keeping their jobs, their livelihoods and their financial security.
|
- Organize Your Hiring Via The Internet
Some days, it’s almost impossible to remember how we ever did our jobs before the Internet. While there are certainly down sides to technology - how much time do you spend in a day checking and sending email? - it’s a fact that the Internet has streamlined a myriad of HR tasks, increased productivity and in general, made HR offices more efficient.
|
- Recession ROI
These days, it doesn’t matter if you’re hiring, training new employees, re-training existing employees or a combination of the above, it’s all about one thing: ROI. That’s return on investment. Whatever the expense you incur, be it minimal or large; whatever the amount effort you expend, be it hours, days, weeks or months of time and energy, it must be justified by how much return it brings into the company in the end. And more often than not, it means getting the most return for the least investment. This is true now, in this recovering economy, more than ever before.

- Where Did Loyalty Go? Ideas To Create A More Loyal Workforce
Is your workforce loyal to your company or self-motivated? If your business suddenly went through a very bad patch, which of your employees would stay and work harder to get you out of it, and which would look for new jobs? More often than not, the answer to that question depends on the type of company you have, the type of culture you have fostered, and the type of hiring you have done.
