President’s Message
It is hard to believe we are in the final month of 2011! The hiring activity in 2011 has increased over 2010.
I am proud to say that the increased demand, and the diligent work of our CCY team, has brought us 58 new clients since January 2010. Historical data, and our awareness of current market trends, point to a continued increase in hiring next year. All disciplines are being actively recruited for: accounting/finance, tax, sales, marketing, supply chain, engineering, IT and human resources.
Social media – like the fax machine in the 1980s and email and electronic job boards in the 1990s – has changed the way in which we recruit, but as with the changes from earlier decades, the underlying constant that distinguishes CCY is that there still needs to be the personal touch, conversation, engagement for a successful search assignment. The information is available to everyone – it’s how you use it to your advantage that will make a difference.
Even before “continuous improvement” was a necessary mantra in industry, our focus on internal metrics – time-to-hire ratio, interview-to-offer ratio, offer-to-acceptance ratio and how long does a hire stay with a client – has helped us prosper for 32 years by keeping our “eyes on the ball,” retaining what we do best, and refining the rest upward.. Our ratios are in the top 5% of industry standards. Our clients universally find that the time spent developing and adhering to Key Performance Initiatives (KPI), applied to their hiring and to performance of their key people, brings immediate savings in cost and time, freeing up needed company resources for growth-oriented investment in the rest of the business. - Gary Baker
