I like to scour the media for interesting resources on topics that are integral to my business, including Executive Search, Career Management, Human Capital Management and Corporate Responsibility. I wrote the feature article, "10 Steps to a Successful Hire", to answer some questions you may have during this important stage of the hiring process. The remaining articles are ones that I thought you would find to be insightful. I share them with you in the hopes that you find them equally interesting and applicable to your own business.
I appreciate any comments and suggestions from readers, so please feel free to contact me. |

I’m a recruiter. I’m in the business of connecting with talent every day on behalf of my clients, searching for the right fit. With over 25 years in this business, I speak from experience when I say there’s a way to work effectively with recruiters. Many people, unfortunately, do not know how to do this.
So I’m going to tell you.

Working with Recruiters
By Bill Holland
June 2011
Take the call.
When I say "take the call," I mean be open to talking to recruiters when they reach out. Obviously you may not be able to talk the instant they call or email. If you can’t talk to them privately and freely right away, schedule a time to get back to them.

| As an entrepreneur myself, I understand that the goal of entrepreneurs is not only to see their ideas come to fruition, but also to create wealth. I’m a business man, and my experience with thousands of like-minded people over the years has taught me many things about wealth creation. Most striking is that many people desire wealth, but they don’t have it. |

The MBO Factor: Creating Wealthy Managers
By Bill Holland
November 2011
One of the main reasons I’ve been able to identify is that they don’t own the business they work in. A management buyout (MBO) is an effective way to reach that goal. In this transaction, a management team purchases the business from the owner. It’s fast becoming the primary method for a business to change ownership.

| Most small business leaders would agree that you can’t gamble when it comes to hiring executive talent. A fifty percent failure rate is often cited for new hires. Fifty percent! That’s a chance number. That’s like making a bet on a flipped coin. With the time and expense involved, as well as business setbacks due to lost productivity, are you willing to make a heads or tails hiring decision? |

Hiring Leadership Talent: 10 Steps to a Successful Hire
By Bill Holland
November 2011
Risk taking is certainly critical for any business; there’s no room for growth without it. However, when it comes to hiring people to run critical aspects of your business, you can’t afford to gamble. Of course anything can happen and there’s no guarantee that it will work out for certain even if you follow the most rigourous hiring process. But there’s no doubt that making an informed decision tremendously mitigates the risk of a miss-hire.

| Evidence suggests that CSR drives employee attraction, retention and engagement. CSR has the potential to influence employee engagement and, consequently, the positive business outcomes that go along with an engaged workforce. In fact, CSR is the third most important driver of employee engagement overall. People prefer to work for a company that demonstrates corporate social responsibility and many think CSR policies should be compulsory. When employees recognize socially responsible behaviour in their employers, they tend to demonstrate better performance. There are also reduced costs to the employer, due to increased levels of retention and improved productivity. |

Corporate Social Responsibility and Employee Engagement
“Making the Connection”
By Bill Holland
June 2011
Introduction
As a talent management professional, it's my job to understand the mechanisms of employee engagement. As an entrepreneur with a personal interest in sustainability and social issues, I feel obligated to demonstrate and encourage corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Both employee engagement and CSR are widely discussed in the business world. While it’s no stretch to appreciate the obvious link between the two, I didn’t find much being written about it in the mainstream business news. So I decided to do some research, and commissioned Rob Gross, President of CR Strategies to prepare a white paper on making the connection between CSR and employee engagement.
