If the compensation isn&#039;t tied into the change, it&#039;s pointless. <br /> <br /> Example of change: I do know one firm has been moving to a retain/flat fee per monthly service model. They have some set expectations around the number of furnished, qualified candidates per position, but the company (a start up) likes the arrangement. <br /> <br /> Corporations do get the vendors they tolerate (deserve). I found myself the other month defending a higher than average placement rate because my company isn&#039;t lowering the bar for necessary talent and it&#039;s (still) just as hard to find it - even in a slower market. <br /> <br /> It&#039;s great to hear you&#039;re with a firm that is approaching the issues as an opportunity. If you&#039;re up for a conference call , I&#039;d love to talk about it at a high level. Too many agencies are circling the wagons.

The challenge in accomplishing something is correlated to the value in this case. Wed, 4 Nov 2009 15:06:22 +0000 http://williamuranga.com/brand/change-the-game/#IDComment41951028
