Global:
Why Traditional Resume Mining and job board sourcing doesnt work well
outside the United States
Shally Steckerl, Manager, Core Technical Central Sourcing Team, Microsoft Corp
Traditional resume mining and job board sourcing doesn't work well outside the
United States. Very few global sourcing departments have been able to use their
"standard" techniques successfully worldwide. In many cases separate strategies
must be created for each of the worlds regions, but in every case local customs
and idiosyncrasies have deep impact on sourcing tactics. The Internet is a
cultural phenomenon, and like most other cultural phenomenon it has different
meanings or interpretations even within the cultural subgroups of one nation. As
a result, a highly flexible, centralized multi-tiered approach must be made.
Soucing Centers that develop International expertise by channels and not regions
will be successful. (OnRec)
Beware Unofficial Web Traffic Stats Warns The IT Job Board
Be wary of unauthorised website traffic statistics warns The IT Job Board
The IT Job Board, www.theitjobboard.com, is to provide additional service
information to employers hiring IT professionals. The online recruitment
specialist has registered with media industry data measurement body, ABC
ELECTRONIC (ABCE), to provide monthly, independently-audited, website traffic
statistics that provide organisations with accurate, objective figures on the
number of potential candidates viewing their online job advertisements. The IT
Job Board is also the only site of its kind to monitor application activity. The
most recent figures published show The IT Job Board has almost 400,000 unique
users per month, a significantly higher number than its nearest competitor in
the niche online IT recruitment sector. The IT Job Board's statistics also drill
down to reveal that 177,113 visitors clicked the "Apply Now" button for the
positions in which they were interested, which converts to around 125,000 actual
job applications. Rival sites do not provide this level of detail. (ITBackbones)

TechCrunch
launches UK site
I've just returned from holiday where I did my best to stay
completely away from any technology other than my camera (for

nicely. One of the pleasant not-so surprises on returning was the
recent launch of a UK TechCrunch site which is focused on UK Web

Arrington made is way to the UK, there were whispers that a
UK version would appear sooner or later. Turns out it was

Deep Release:
The Art of Getting Paid: A Few Secrets from a Creditors'
Rights Expert
Bob Bernstein, managing partner of Pittsburgh's Bernstein Law Firm, shares some
"inside tips" that help businesses collect what they're owed.
You make a living selling on credit. And if you are like many of your
colleagues, you don't think about the possibility of not getting paid until,
well . . . until you don't get paid. Like the guy who can't remember to bring
along his umbrella until he's caught outside in a rainstorm, by the time you
realize your mistake, it's too late to avoid a soaking. The solution is simple,
says Robert Bernstein: take the time to learn about collecting and creditors'
rights before the unpaid bills start piling up.
"Many sales organizations are so focused on 'getting the sale' that they
inadvertently do the wrong things," says Bernstein, managing partner of
Bernstein Law Firm, P.C. "It's understandable. There is an inherent tension
between sales and credit, and until your company learns to defuse that tension,
you're going to keep making the same mistakes."
Bernstein—whose Pittsburgh-based firm specializes in creditors' rights,
bankruptcy, retail and commercial collections, lease enforcement, and mortgage
foreclosure—helps companies from all industries take decisive action to improve
their odds of getting paid what they're owed.
"Sometimes a few minor adjustments in your 'credit application' process can
make a big difference," he points out. "Other times, you have to change the way
you deal with slow and late payers. But one principle holds true for virtually
every creditor: there is no substitute for knowledge. The more you learn about
creditors' rights, the more likely you are to collect payment."
Below, Bernstein shares a few little-known creditors' rights secrets:
· If a company's creditworthiness seems marginal, look for alternative
pockets. Admittedly, it's not advisable to extend credit to a company whose
application sends up red flags. On the other hand, you need all the business you
can get and risk-taking is integral to making money. So how can a creditor
resolve this paradox? Bernstein suggests looking for alternative pockets. "Take
a look at the creditworthiness of the Principles of the business," he says. "Or
explore affiliated companies that might be more solvent. If you and the client
are persistent, you can usually figure out a solution."
· Retain a purchase money security interest with a debtor. "This is a rarely
used but highly effective trick of the trade that enhances the possibility that
you will get paid," says Bernstein. "It's usually appropriate if you are
supplying non-perishable goods or products. A purchase money security interest
basically gives you a string on the merchandise and the proceeds. Actually, I am
not sure why it's so seldom used—it works beautifully."
· When a previously "good" customer stops paying, remember: communication
trumps litigation. "Find out what's going on," advises Bernstein.
"Investigate—and the sooner, the better. It's usually best not to jump into
litigation. You don't want to ruin a good long-term relationship over what might
be a short-term customer problem."
By the way, he adds, if a non-paying customer has a problem with your product
or service, don't ignore it. "If you simply sue for payment without addressing
the problem, the customer may end up countersuing," says Bernstein.
· Don't send a salesperson to do a collector's job. It's usually—not always—a
bad idea to let your salespeople double as collectors. "Most salespeople are
relationship-oriented and aren't predisposed to taking a tough line," says
Bernstein. "It's just not their nature. If the initial refusal to pay could be
the result of a quality problem, send the salesperson in to try to solve it. If
he or she doesn't have any luck, find someone experienced in hearing excuses
from debtors.
"Actually, your bookkeeper might be the perfect candidate!" he adds.
"Remember, the biggest sale in the world means nothing until you get paid,"
says Bernstein. "Getting paid is what makes companies successful. Filling out
that credit application properly may not be as exhilarating as that deal-closing
handshake, but it's just as critical, if not more so. It helps ensure that
potential profits become real profits . . . and real profits are what put food
on the table."

teleseminar "Top 10 Creditors' Rights Secrets Revealed!," scheduled for Tuesday,
September 12, 2006, at 2:00 p.m. eastern. To register, go to
