India

My wife and I spent 2 1/2 weeks in India earlier this month. We spent most of our time in Mumbai (Bombay, as most of the Indians still call it), but also traveled to Pune, India for a visit with the OS2i team that I work with as well as a couple days in GOA, which is a beach resort area about an hours flight south of Mumbai. Although I spoke with dozens of people who had been to India before and prepared myself for the craziness and different culture I was about to encounter, you really have to… Continue

Going to India.

I'm off to Mumbia and Pune, India on Saturday for 2 weeks. This is my first trip to India. I'm very excited to meet the OS2i team in Pune. I'm not very excited about the 16 hour plane ride ahead of me. I'll post some pictures and blog about the trip while I'm over there. If you've been to India, any tips/advise would be appreciated.

Are you hunter, grafter, schmoozer or influencer?

Your personality type can define the character and direction of your business, for better or worse, according to Matthew Bayfield, partner of consumer psychology and market research firm Tree. Identifying what type you are can help you structure your business to play to your strengths and mitigate your weaknesses.

Great page! You seem to be very deep into the RPO community. I worked an RPO project for Futurestep in '07 and loved it! I can certainly say I have found a new direction in my recruiting career. I am currently looking to engage with an RPO providor as a recruiter. If you know of anyone that may be in need of an RPO recruiter or on-site leader please let me know!

Kind Regards,
