	A Word from the MD's Desk




"Hiring for Skills, Firing for Attitude" - A Changing Perception In the past, many people in the recruitment process have placed a higher value on the experience and skills of an applicant. However, most failures in the workplace come down to attitudes, rather than lack of experience. These days, hiring for attitude is rapidly increasing in service-based industries and jobs that require customer contact because after all, you can teach the right person the skills to do the job, but it’s a lot harder to change someone’s temperament. When hiring the 'right' people for your business it helps to consider whether the person will fit into the company culture, will they do what it takes to get the job done and be a conscientious worker who cares about the company?
