I hope that what I have to share with you is an aid in your journey through the organisational jungle. I'm sure that you have all heard the cliché "people are an organisation's greatest asset" and they are – the secret is how do we attract, keep and motivate employees.

The key is to create an environment that they simply do not want to leave. Staff retention is like a magician's trick. The mystery is lost once you know how the trick works.

Marker Consulting has experienced remarkable growth. We are proud to state that this growth has evolved by way of recommendation based on our philosophy of partnering our clients with a view to developing long term, sustainable and mutually beneficial relationships.  The driving principles of this philosophy are:

• Ethics
• Honesty
• Integrity
• Responsibility
• Service

To ensure that this philosophy is imparted to our clients and candidates, our consultants must live it and breathe it. They too must embody our five main principles.

Consultants who believe strongly in what they do cannot fail to be successful in the supportive environment that Marker Consulting provides.

Our growth means that we are always looking for consultants who want to be part of the most professional organisation in the industry. The rewards are outstanding, with our consultants being given opportunities to develop and grow in ways they never thought possible.

Marker Consulting is a great place to work, play and grow. With an incentive scheme unrivalled in the industry offering uncapped commission, extended holidays and overseas trips our consultants are in an enviable position.

Just imagine.....................

Being mentored by leaders in the field.
Getting ongoing support and encouragement at every turn.
Having your ideas and new initiatives really listened to.
Working alongside passionate, high performers who operate effectively as a team.
Getting international exposure.
Working with people who understand the industry and are passionate about great people.
Knowing exactly where you stand at all times, and probably more importantly, where you are going.
Enjoying a real work life balance.
Being truly rewarded and recognised for hard work.

And it has only just begun. With a continuing dedication to growth in both the Commercial and Job Network Recruitment industry, working with Marker Consulting could provide the journey of a lifetime.

This is a genuine email received from one of our new staff members recently. It shows that we dont just talk the talk. We walk the walk..................

Hi Diane,

On my second day in my new job placement I want to sing the praises the lovely Amanda!

Back in March when I first met with her for an initial interview- (and initially just to "test the waters") I left the meeting on a high, inspired by her enthusiasm and encouragement.

Her professionalism was instantly admirable, and her warm, friendly demeanour was contagious.

She listed off an abundance of possible opportunities for myself, one of which has lead to me to the desk I sit at today!

Following meetings with Amanda and her consistent contact with myself, I then went on to meet Allegra and Keith in Sydney, and then of course yourself. After meeting with you I was elated at your  the "sky's the limit" attitude, and again, after these meetings felt that way myself.

Going on to meet Felicity and Leanne, and my suspicions were confirmed - you all possess the qualities that any successful consultant should aim for.

 I am happy to now say that I am a proud employee of Marker Consulting!!! Who would have thought!

Now, being surrounded by this team from a different perspective I can say that the professionalism and enthusiasm is nothing less than inspiring!

How privileged am I to be surrounded by such mentors?!!

One of our wonderful consultants is returning to the UK. We always knew it was inevitable and as much as we would like her to stay her home is calling.

These are her words

Just to reiterate, it breaks my heart having to leave because I have had an incredible time over the last year and will always have you as an inspiration in life and in my future career. Marker Consulting have been the most generous company that I have ever worked in, has been the most positive working environment I have ever been exposed to and have had a great management team – Yourself, Max and Kate that I have ever worked under. It will be a very sad day on the 29th September.

 Thanks again for being such a great employer.

 Kind Regards,

In march 2006, more than 700 recruiting professionals descended upon sunny San Diego for ERE's West Coast expo, an event that has become the pinnacle meeting point for the best and brightest of the internal recruitment profession and showcased a number of organizations breaking new ground and radically redefining what strategic staffing means.

Because there were attendees from Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia, it is clear that the need for continuous improvement in recruiting is a worldwide phenomenon. Increased turnover, the aging workforce, the acceptance of "remote work" and global competition for talent means that pressure will increase on the recruiting function to find new ways to provide their firms with a competitive advantage.

The categories awarded included

• Recruiting Leader of the Year, Best Use of Metrics, and Best Recruiting Process
• Most Innovative Employee Referral Program
• Best Corporate Careers Website
• Best Employer Brand
• Best Graduate Recruiting Program
• Most Strategic Use of Recruiting Technology

In the following pages, the winner of each category unveil their methodology and best practice procedures.

It may seem that as managers in the recruitment industry that you perfect consultants would be consultants gaining more business, being hungry and thriving on financial targets met and exceeded.

With all that concentration on new business there can be the danger of leaving current and past clients and candidates in a dust storm of new activity. How we you address this whilst still driving the business forward by getting your consultants to perform in all areas necessary to achieve growth.

To protect your investment in time, money and client goodwill(and if you hate hearing "I have changed my mind", having to tell the client that the candidate has changed their mind is even worse), it makes sense to closely monitor the entire placement process. If you discover that your candidate lacks sufficient motivation to make a job change—or is using your client's job as career leverage—you should immediately place the deal on a heightened state of alert. 

Even a candidate that you know well, have a good understanding of motivators and is a perfect match for the role can catch you by surprise change their minds. To protect against a counteroffer that may be bubbling beneath the surface, look for these common warning signs:
