33、n recruitment. Thank you for joining us today, lan. M Good to be here. F Your company, Solutions, is well-known in the recruitment industry. But I understand your first job was selling sports equipment. Why did you start your career in that area? M Well, I knew there were a number of local firms sel
34、ling sports equipment. And I thought, if so many of them work in this area, they must be making money.

35、k success isnt about working long hours but about coming up with something different.

36、a regular sales team? M I was alone-but I enjoyed that. But after a while, I realised I was bored. F So you moved to KTD Computer Systems? M Yes, I wanted a job with training and support.

37、e business despite all their years of sales experience. F Is this why you moved and became a recruitment executive? M Well, I used to commute quite far each day. The money was worth it, you see- even if it wasnt the most exciting of jobs. But finally, the effort became too much for me so I accepted
38、a local job at Ace Recruitment for a bit less pay, F I understand you were unpopular there there at first. M Yes, it was very strange. The people there were really casual.

39、ey just got angry, So I wrote down some comments about the way people did things and what Id change-and sent it to the Chief Executive, who immediately rang me back to talk about it. A few months later, I was managing the whole place! F Which led a number of people to leave, I understand. Did you wa
40、nt them to stay? M Well, it depends what qualities you expect staff to have. Obviously, every company needs skilled, experienced staff But the key thing is whether people use their skills for the benefit of the company. Theres little point in keeping workers who are unhappy in their jobs. F So, how
41、long did you stay with Ace? M Long enough for tumover to double. Then I moved to another recruitment organisation, Solutions. F Where you specialise in recruiting people with expertise in Change Management. M Thats right. We were approached by someone with a lot of experience in this area asking if
42、we had any openings. We didnt-though plenty of other firms did. But a consultant suggested it was the industry to be in. So we set up a specialist unit. F And whats different about the way you operate? M Well, we work with all the major companies in this field. But what we do is go to companies, ana
43、lyse their business and search for and suggest suitable individuals to them - rather than waiting for them to come to us.
