Introduction
Today’s business climate requires companies to look for ways to maximize every recruiting dollar. Shorter recruiting cycle time, more targeted slates of candidates, and greater use of electronic databases are three of the changes occurring in the recruiting process. Conversely, there are also elements of the recruiting process that remain stable including:

• The need to thoroughly screen candidates both technically and professionally.
• The need to sell the best candidates on why they should choose your organization.
• The need to ensure that the candidate compliments the executive team.
• The need to quantify a candidates potential contribution to success.

The quality of management is the single most important variable affecting the success of your organization. In today’s business environment you can have everything sound: corporate strategy, solid financial controls, good product mix, effective marketing, low cost structure—and still fail to achieve satisfactory results.

It has been said that, “Anyone can lead an organization to success in boom times.” While overstated, there is some truth to that statement. As global and virtual competition continues to increase, the margin for allowable error grows narrower. Now more than ever organizations need strong individuals at the helm. There is no substitute for a manager with vision who can effectively lead an organization through the growing complexity on an increasingly global and virtual environment.

Now more than ever a cornerstones of business success is the selection, motivation, and retention of the senior management team. In addition operational considerations, a strong management team is an inducement for investors to continue to make capital available through the critical growth phases that all organizations face.

Attracting Top Talent
The quality of management is the single most important variable affecting the success of your organization.

In today’s business environment you can have everything sound: corporate strategy, solid financial controls, good product mix, effective marketing, low cost structure—and still fail to achieve satisfactory results.

Good people are paramount, regardless of the size of your organization or the nature of your field.

There is no substitute for a manager with vision, and people who can show the way amid growing complexity on an increasingly global playing field. The right people can leverage all of your capabilities—the wrong people can sap all of your strengths.

The key to success is how you define needs, identify the prospects, and attract the best talent.

One of the most important tasks is the selection, motivation, and retention of the senior management team. Succeeding in that, companies will be perceived as having value on the basis of the products and the profits they produce and the potential of the market for those products. As well, investors are far more likely to make capital available to a company whose management group can effectively execute the business plan.
