From a company perspective, detecting talent in people is vitally important, especially when you are seeking out the special talents required to succeed in the world of commerce. More than ever, effective recruiting will focus on the 20% of hires that produce 80% of the results. We are now in a culture where the practice of Human Capital Management (HCM) has evolved to secure a competitive edge for businesses through recruiting, developing and maintaining people who match the success criteria required by the business. We apply Saville & Holdsworth testing, which we consider to be the best way of assessing a candidate’s current skills, future potential and personality drivers that is fair, fast, objective and cost efficient.

From an individual's perspective, planning and running a successful career is much like planning and running a business. Your career is your personal business enterprise. You are the owner, and often sole proprietor, of a profit and loss company - you -and you want to keep it in the black. To reflect the realities of the job market, your career blueprint should plan for several strategic, well-timed moves. Traditionally, much job changing has been by default: cutbacks, mergers, takeovers, termination, top-management changes, etc. The truly focused and forward-looking professional understands that job changing in the future should be by design.

Increasingly, the job market regards employees, even at executive levels, as resources. Most resources have limited shelf lives. In a very real sense, a company rents your skill set for as long as it meets its needs. When new skills are required, or yours begin to become obsolete, the company will go out to the marketplace and shop for a new resource, or a new "knowledge worker".
