November 19, 2017
Does Your Technology Work Well With Your People Strategy?
Your ‘people strategy’ is defined as the approach that your company takes to its employees, and in today’s world, you will find it difficult to unlock the full potential of your people strategy without the right technology.
Remember that whatever technology you use in your business, it should always serve the needs of your people strategy, rather than be just another bureaucratic layer. An obvious example is the messaging technology that enables your salesperson to still communicate efficiently with their office-based counte... (read more)

255. Putting an effective complaint and recall management system in place
October 31, 2017
Complaints very strongly show a company how its products or services are perceived where it matters the most -in the customer’s mind.

What Are Millennials Looking For In A Role With You?
If your firm is looking to attract young professionals, you won't necessarily get far by adhering to a Generation X mentality. Millennials are therefore the generation to which you need to be tailoring your recruitment strategy.
In the corporate space, they also often have very different priorities to their Baby Boomer and Gen X predecessors; here's what you may need to offer to them.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong With That ‘hotshot’ Employee?
It’s an experience that you may have had more than once with Recruitment Firms – being presented with a seemingly amazing candidate who has a track record in your sector, and who seems to be able to explain what your business needs for success and what they will do to bring you that success.
Sure, they might not come from a cultural environment much like that of your own company, or have worked for a company at your firm’s stage of development. But there might be enough signs that you have a real hotshot on your hands, so... (read more)

259. Why Your Business Shouldn't Be Scared Of Referrals
October 08, 2017
Why Your Business Shouldn’t Be Scared Of Referrals Despite what research has found about candidates that come via referrals often making longer-lasting and better-performing employees, many HR teams still seem hesitant to embrace the full benefits of referrals as a means of unearthing potential new staff. Here are some of the reasons for that – together with reasons for your firm not to fret if you have been thinking twice about launching your own employee referral programme.

260. Military Retirement Gifts Buying Guide
October 02, 2017
Military Retirement Gifts Buying Guide
Military retirement gifts have been around for centuries. Even thousands of years ago members of the Roman Army were gifted something special upon retirement. These days, retiring military servicemen and servicewomen can be just about as difficult to buy for as any other person, but this time you are dealing with someone who most probably is very set in their ways and very firmly know their likes and dislikes, especially the things they dislike! That results in a pretty tough challenge when it comes to buying them something fulfilling for their retir... (read more)

261. Turning Lorry Drivers Green
September 27, 2017
In any industry, everyone from top management down should endeavour to engage in a regular programme of self-improvement or training in order to be at the top of their game. In the transport industry, particularly for a lorry driver, there are actually certain legislative requirements that need to be undertaken to remain compliant. However, there are other initiatives that, while voluntary, are highly desirable for a lorry driver to take part in. One new government training programme is set on teaching UK hauliers to drive in a more eco-friendly manner by being less aggressive on the roads. He... (read more)

262. Lorry Drivers' Top Bugbears on the Road
September 27, 2017
Due to their presence on the roads, hardworking lorry drivers who travel the length and breadth of the country doing delivery work are often, and quite unfairly, at the receiving end of complaints from other motorists. But there are most definitely two sides to every penny and here, in the interest of fairness (and putting the record straight), we turn the tables and shine a light on the issues that cause headaches for lorry drivers who share the road with "bad" car drivers.
Biggest Bugbears
The average lorry driver will spend more time behind the wheel than almost any other road use... (read more)

263. Celebrating Lorry Drivers: The Norfolk Hero
September 27, 2017
The HGV drivers that make up the transport industry's massive workforce are known to be a staunch and solid group. These hardworking men and women are an integral cog in the UK's economical wheel, keeping the country moving in more ways than one. In fact, a recent story of heroism on the busy A47 motorway involves a lorry driver who not only showed great presence of mind, but also had the courage and heart to follow through – saving not just one life, but potentially many.

264. UK Road Network Upgrades: What to Expect
September 27, 2017
This summer, the Government published a programme of planned upgrades to the UK road network which will cost £6.1 billion. As the Road Haulage Association has said, “the UK’s roads and motorways are a haulier’s workplace”. Projected improvements to the transport infrastructure that is a haulier’s office space are of utmost importance to us. Today, I’m going to take a closer look at the details of this new scheme and what it means for HGV drivers.
The mentioned sum of money is going to be used to help create a new MRN, or major road network. In good news for hauliers, one aim of the schem... (read more)

265. Post-Brexit Britain: Delivery Work in Northern Ireland
September 27, 2017
With Brexit making daily headlines, the Irish border problem is recognised as one of particular importance and complexity. With the UK’s exit from the single market and the customs union on the horizon, the impact of a possible return to a ‘hard border’ on the haulage industry is worrying those involved in delivery work.
The Current Situation
Thanks to the Good Friday Agreement there are no security stops or checks along the 500km borderline between Northern Ireland and Ireland. Goods pass freely along the 250 roads which run through the boundary, making trade easy.

267. 5 Types Of Job Aplicant You May Unjustly Ignore
September 25, 2017
Hiring for almost any position is difficult and time-consuming. The temptation to take shortcuts with the process can therefore be overwhelming, but this can also make it easy to dismiss a job applicant on the basis of just one or two factors. That, in turn, means you could be overlooking some genuinely great candidates.
Here are five types of applicant about whom you may ask: “are they necessarily so bad?”

September 22, 2017
We all know that it’s important, and many of us have read those advice articles online about what we need to do to get ours shipshape.
Yet, even getting started on writing a CV is quite an intimidating idea for many of us. Why wouldn’t it be? Many of us cringe at the thought of even filling out an online dating profile. We often hate having to promote ourselves, yet somehow, it must be done.
We say that because, you see, that’s the whole point of your CV. It’s a marketing document, in which you sell your services to someone else. But does your own CV even do that? Oh, and if it did... (read more)

269. Why A High Street Recruiter Shouldn't Do Aviation Recruitment?
September 21, 2017
Is the above declaration a controversial one? Yep, but bear us out.
As a leading Aviation Recruiter here at TARCG, we just don’t think that general, ‘high street’ recruitment agencies should ‘do’ aviation. It just doesn’t work. And here’s exactly why.
1. They Don’t Have Aviation Professionals On Their Payroll
Your average high street recruiter simply has no understanding of the requirements of prospective or current aviation professionals or those seeking to recruit them.
It’s just too specialised a field for them to have a hope of comparing to a seasoned and specialise... (read more)

273. 3 Reasons Why You Still Need To Write Job Descriptions
September 17, 2017
Many an employer would love to get rid of the humble job description. They see it as a burden to have to write such a thing every time a vacancy comes up at their company. Indeed, it may be hard for them to appreciate the job description’s continued relevance when they come to Recruit Staff.
We’re sure you’ll know what a job description is – it’s the document that outlines the responsibilities of the job, and for which the holder of the position will probably need to possess certain personal qualities, experiences and skills.

274. Retirement: A Natural Evolution of Career Development
September 13, 2017
Over the past few years, our career coaching practice has been attracting a growing percentage of clients who want to talk about retirement planning – not just career planning. I have wondered why this is. Is it because people are becoming more aware, educated and savvy about the subject of retirement in general? Is it because my colleagues and I are getting older; so we are naturally drawing an older client demographic? Is it because some people simply have more options to consider, with the stock market (and some investment portfolios) reaching record highs? Or is it because I have been pond... (read more)

275. 3 Characteristics That Make Someone A True ‘Team Player
September 08, 2017
When you think of any of the obvious corporate success stories from down the years – from Microsoft to Apple – one of the things that should become clear to you straight away is the importance of the right team.
However, there’s a big difference between a great team, and simply a bunch of smart people. The aforementioned success stories were built on teams that had that seemingly indefinable, but definitely detectable ‘spark’ or ‘magic’.
The good news is that it’s possible to bottle such magic – well, sort of. You can do it by looking for each of the three following traits in your ... (read more)
