Citywest Headhunting

The smaller a business is, the more expensive to operate if you are trying to provide the same services as the big boys. Telus, for example, has deep pockets and economy of scale at their disposal. Citytel has to be more creative with what they have if they are trying to match the service provided by the likes of Telus. I think they do an excellent job given the size of this community and the amount of resources they have. This takes us back to quality of staff. Telus can afford to have a nob working their customer service, Citytel can’t.

Often well run businesses attract good employees. No headhunting necessary. They employ solid hiring practices, offer excellent benefits, and have safe and secure work places. Often they are flexible with their approach to staff and staff’s needs. Often they invest time and money into training and personal development. These business attract good employees without having anybody go look for them. In turn, well trained staff go on to continue selecting excellent prospects for employment. Prince Rupert has a number of excellent employers. I read the credit union newsletter where it said they were selected to the top 50 mid-sized businesses for best places to work for across Canada. Look at businesses you use. What is staff turn over like? How are you treated when you walk in? Are the employees happy? Are they motivated? If you say yes, chances are you found a great employer. One final thought in case there are ppl out their feeling left out of the workforce, YOUR attitude speaks louder than you might realize. Employers can see that and some just wont settle for second best. Their business depends on it.
