Written by Jamie Dixon

-Choosing quality Executive Search in a Wild, Wild East

morry_morgan.jpgLi Yue’s first week on the job had been testing.

-Fox Tales

davidfox.jpgEvery month I receive e-mails from readers and make comments to discussions forums on LinkedIn. Last month I came across one discussion where a member of the HR group raised the issue of whether HR departments should send rejection letters to unsuccessful candidates.

Synchronicity for Success

train.jpg A single droplet of sweat trickled down my neck as the glowing amber sun beat down on us. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw our competitors lined up alongside us.
