Vancouver Recruiters



Dear HR Managers and Business Owners,

Execution is taking precedence over profit and top-line growth as a focus for CEOs around the world, according to a global survey of chief executives released last month by The Conference Board.

The survey asked 769 global CEOs from 40 countries to rate their greatest concerns from among 121 different challenges. Chief executives chose excellence of execution as their top challenge and keeping consistent execution of strategy by top management as their third greatest concern.

Sustained and steady top-line growth, which led the pack last year, now ranks second, with profit growth fourth, and finding qualified managerial talent fifth.

How are these issues affecting your organization this year? How does your people strategy relate to it? In this month's article we explore how to hire more top performers to execute on your plans for growth in the coming year.

Cheers,



Bob Murray

"The relationship through the final stages of the recruitment process was everything you'd expect it to be - friendly, professional. The real value-added came with proactive and frequent updates that People First provided as things progressed. That was really important to me, given that a job change is one of life's big decisions and so you're looking for that close support."
