Elastic Intelligence, the developer and marketer of the Connection Cloud, a revolutionary PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) platform, today announced a partnership with Jaspersoft, the intelligence inside apps and business processes, to provide Jaspersoft users with a real-time connection service to access their SaaS application data.
Through the partnership, Jaspersoft clients can use the Connection Cloud to access their data quickly from SaaS applications like Salesforce, Netsuite, Intacct, Zuora, Zendesk and Eloqua for their reporting and analysis purposes, without having to do any engineering or development work.
"Jaspersoft is pleased to partner with Elastic Intelligence to provide our users a means of accessing data that was previously difficult to retrieve due to the varying APIs and query language that exists in the SaaS universe," said Joseph Rozenfeld, CTO, Jaspersoft. "The Connection Cloud provides a simple, but powerful link to valuable SaaS data that will enrich the business intelligence reporting of our customers."
For the first time, with Connection Cloud, users are able to pull in disparate sources of SaaS data from where it resides, easily and quickly, on-demand, without the support of their IT staff.
"Business intelligence users want to avoid the time and expense it takes to develop special connectors for each application they want to access in the cloud. The Connection Cloud answers this need by providing the technology that enables them to bypass this roadblock," said Ajay Singh, CEO, Elastic Intelligence. "We are delighted to be partnering with Jaspersoft to provide the easy connectivity and access Jaspersoft users want for use in BI, reporting and other applications."
Key benefits of The Connection Cloud for Jaspersoft users include:
- Fast login: To access their SaaS data, a Jaspersoft user simply needs to create an account on the Connection Cloud and connect to the service via the JDBC driver which will be shipped with the JasperReports Server. Within minutes, a Jaspersoft user can start analyzing and reporting on data from these SaaS applications.
- No need to migrate: Data is accessed from where it resides and presented to the user as if it was all in a locally connected database.
- Real time access: Pull in data from SaaS applications such as CRM, ERP and Marketing Automation – all in real time – no more stale data in your BI reports.
About Connection Cloud
Connection Cloud, developed and marketed by Elastic Intelligence, is the first and only real-time SQL-based Platform-as-a-Service for connecting to SaaS data for reporting, business intelligence (BI) and application development. Using Connection Cloud, business users and application developers can access their data from where it resides, eliminating the need for a data warehousing, or additional IT support. The company was incorporated in 2008 and is based in Menlo Park, California. For more information, visit http://www.connectioncloud.com/

One of the biggest challenges when developing connected devices is identifying user value and delivering it through successful user experiences. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Mike Kuniavsky, Principal Scientist, Innovation Services at PARC, described an IoT-specific approach to user experience design that combines approaches from interaction design, industrial design and service design to create experiences that go beyond simple connected gadgets to create lasting, multi-device experiences grounded in people's real needs and desires.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

I know what you are all thinking, "OMG! The super awesome dude Ghetsis, like, totally changed his username! Like, WTF man!" And, well, I'll tell you W(hy)TF... "man". Well, I wanted something a little more unique, because Ghetsis is already the name of a dude in this one game that I'm sure none of you have ever heard of. Plus, "root" (minus the ""'s) is my Steam ID and I kinda wanted to unify the two a little, like I do with Pepsi and Coke, or as I like to call it, Poke. You also may be thinking, "Like, holy feck! You changed your totally awesomely awesome avatar too! Are you trying to, like, destroy your nonexistant fanbase!?" Yes, I did change my avatar, thank you for noticing! I just wanted to mix it up a little bit, I'm probably going to put in a better one later. (Contrary to popular belief, my avatar actually can get better.) Well, that's it for now, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read my pointless blog.

LOUISVILLE — The John Hardin Bulldogs started fast and then hung on for a wild ride.
Bullied and pushed around up front by the Central Hardin Bruins in the regular season, the Meade County Green Wave were determined to not let it happen again in Friday's Class 6-A, Region 2 title game.
This time, the Green Wave were the bullies.
When it comes to describing an offense, words like bland and vanilla aren't complimentary. But that was the state of John Hardin's offense midway through the season.
It's a Wednesday evening in mid-October, and Meade County has just finished practice. Coach Larry Mofield is getting his Green Wave ready to face undefeated Central Hardin.
Senior Tyler Addesa let out a loud scream.
Fellow senior Sawyer Winskie and several teammates jumped around like they were little kids on the turf at Georgetown College's Toyota Stadium.
Meade County had just beaten defending state champion Scott County, 27-24 in the second round of the Class 6-A state playoffs and the Green Wave were in a celebratory mood.
Elizabethtown junior guard Rachel Warden said the Lady Panthers use the regular season as preparation for the postseason. As such, Elizabethtown uses the preseason to prepare the Lady Panthers for the regular season.
Chuck Jones and Ryan O'Gara break down Meade County/Central Hardin, Round 2. The Bruins won the first meeting, 15-14 in overtime to end a 15-game losing streak to the Green Wave. This one is for the Class 6-A, Region 2 title.
Scroll down to see the video. And please note that these videos can only be viewed on a computer at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Chuck Jones and Ryan O'Gara discuss the area's road warriors, aka the John Hardin Bulldogs. They won at Bullitt East in the first round and then at Grayson County this past week. The Bulldogs travel to Louisville Iroquois on Friday to bid for their seventh straight region title.
Last Friday night offered a glimpse into why the Central Hardin Bruins are so difficult to defend.
The John Hardin Bulldogs have lost more games than usual this season, but one has stuck with them more than others — a 27-20 overtime setback to Louisville Iroquois at Bulldog Stadium.

Kannuu Strips Away Search Frustration, Makes Finding Content on the REELZCHANNEL Naked Trailers App Fast, Easy and Fun
Kannuu Pty Ltd, a provider of search and discovery solutions for the Smart TV, and REELZCHANNEL-TV About Movies (reelz.com), the ultimate online destination for true movie fans, today announced at the 2013 International CES that REELZ has selected Kannuu as the exclusive search and discovery service for their popular Naked Trailers App on the Samsung SmartTV Platform.
The Naked Trailers app is based on the REELZCHANNEL TV show of the same name and features thousands of full-length, uncut trailers for movies in theaters, on TV, On Demand, Pay-Per-View, DVD, Blu-ray and even the latest video games. REELZCHANNEL reaches more than 64 million homes on Directv channel 238, DISH Network channel 299, Verizon FiOS TV channel 233, AT&T U-verse channels 799/1799HD and cable systems nationwide.
The Naked Trailers app featuring Kannuu search is free to download at the Samsung App store, the world's first HDTV-based app store.
Kannuu search seamlessly integrates with the REELZCHANNEL Naked Trailers application on the Samsung SmartTV and enables movie lovers to quickly and easily find the information and movie trailers they want using their standard remote control and the remote control directional arrows displayed on their SmartTV screen. Searching by title, actor, director, keyword or genre, consumers leverage Kannuu's intuitive interface and proprietary search algorithms to find the content they're looking for with just a few button presses.
Said Chief Operating Officer and SVP Digital at REELZCHANNEL Roger Eman, "Our Naked Trailers app on the Samsung SmartTV with enhanced search by Kannuu attests to our unwavering focus on providing a first-rate experience for our customers as they discover and Engage with our content on their Samsung SmartTV."
Said TDG analyst Collin Dixon, "Despite the proliferation of content creators and second screens, most consumers still prefer to watch video on the best display in the home: the large flat-screen TV in the living room. As the line between traditional broadcasting and streaming media continues to blur, and video content continues its exponential growth, improving the experience of searching for movies and TV programs in a smart TV environment becomes increasingly important. Kannuu eliminates the on-screen keyboard, a major stumbling block for consumers, by applying advanced search techniques and an intuitive interface that require virtually no learning curve from the user."
Kannuu CEO Todd Viegut said, "Making finding content on a Smart TV fast and easy is the surest way to attract and retain viewers who simply want to kick back and enjoy a good movie or their favorite TV show on their television. There's quite a bit of advanced technology powering the Kannuu search experience, but all consumers need to know is how to use their standard remote control - and not even all the buttons crammed onto remotes today, just the directional pad that's been the centerpiece of remotes for years. Who doesn't know how to use the directional arrows on their remote control? From grandparents to grade school children, people try Kannuu once, and they're hooked."
Viegut added, "We're excited to have Kannuu power search and discovery for the Naked Trailers app on the Samsung SmartTV, and we anticipate an enthusiastic response from device manufacturers, service providers, software companies and application developers as we ramp up our sales and marketing initiatives."

Madison Services, Inc. of Madison, Mississippi protests the terms of solicitation Nos. HSFEMS-08-R-0041, for septic bladder pumping services in Mississippi, and HSFEMS-08-R-0042, for travel trailer deactivation services in Mississippi, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Madison argues that the solicitations should not have been set aside under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act and its implementing regulations, and that the solicitations are defective because they fail to include past performance as an evaluation factor.
We deny the protest.

Black Tie
Happy Wednesday;
For this installation of #MonthlyMani I'm rocking my version of the theme "Black Tie". I did what any girl with so little time yet so much need for a fun nail art does, I used polka dots. They are so easy to make (you can use a dot maker tool or the tip of a bobby pin) and look like you put in some effort. Instead of a base coat, I used a nail hardener so my nails can hold up better in the colder weather. I also used a glittery black nail polish for the polka dots. I added a random red one on each nail because it is so unexpected but also because I was inspired by the dress Kerry Washington wore on Jimmy Fallon.
Here is a link to more #MonthlyMani creations:

Polar Vortex
I mean this cold weather is no joke. Half way through photographing this outfit my hands turned red, like tomato red, from being so darn cold. Oh how I miss those long, warm days of summer! Anywho, I am having fun coming up with creative ways to layer without looking like I'm wearing my entire closet (remember Joey). Sunday wasn't as crazy cold during the day so I just threw on a stripped, off the shoulder sweater over loose-fitting jeans and my absolute favorite pair of black booties. Also, I finally got a new coat last week. It is supper stylish and functional at the same time. What do y'all think?

Hope to get more outfit posts up but if I don't, blame it on the darn polar vortex!

This Day in Coast Guard History – Dec. 17
1897-The Overland Expedition, consisting of three officers from the Revenue Cutter Service, departed from the cutter Bear off Nunivak Island to rescue 300 whalers trapped in the ice at Point Barrow, Alaska. The rescuers were First Lieutenant D. H. Jarvis, Second Lieutenant E. P. Bertholf (later a commandant), and Surgeon S. J. Call. The rescuers had to travel over 1,000 miles overland to reach the whalers. 1903-Life-Saving Service personnel from Kill Devil Hills Life-Saving Station helped carry materials to the launch site for the first successful heavier-than-air aircraft flight by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and then assisted the brothers in their flights that day. The life-savers were John T. Daniels, W.S. Dough and A.D. Etheridge. 1942-CGC Natsek, part of the Greenland Patrol, disappeared in Belle Isle Strait. There were no survivors. It was thought that she capsized due to severe icing. 1942-The Navy credited the CGC Ingham with attacking and sinking the submerged U-boat U-626 south of Greenland. 1951-President Harry Truman presented the Collier Trophy to the Coast Guard, the Department of Defense and the "helicopter industry" in a joint award, citing "outstanding development and use of rotary-winged aircraft for air rescue operations." Coast Guard Commandant VADM Merlin O'Neill accepted the trophy for the Coast Guard. (Source: USCG Historian's Office)

My new IPOD 30GB Photo clicks throughout. I have several other MP3 players that do not suffer from this problem at all. It is very disruptive of the music and diminishes the quality of the experience precipitously. Comingled with spontaneous freeze ups and the entirely obnoxious "itunes" sofware that refuses to load all ripped songs with just a simple "some songs won't play on your device" message, erratically erases the entire device of songs, doesn't work to drag and drop, provides worthless play lists, rewrites reripped music creating duplicates and is in general entirely criptic to use and what you have here is an over hyped, nice looking, expensive gadget…nothing more than a device trying to become a drawer sitter! iriver…you are next.

DEFINITION of 'ARM Margin'
A fixed percentage rate that is added to an index value to determine the fully indexed interest rate of an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). The margin is constant throughout the life of the mortgage, while the index value is variable. For example, the index might be the prime rate, which varies according to market conditions, and the margin might be 2%. If the prime rate were 5% and the margin 2%, then the fully indexed interest rate would be 7%. If the prime rate rises to 6% (the margin remains constant), the fully indexed interest rate would be 8%.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'ARM Margin'
An ARM's margin is a very important and often overlooked part of the loan's interest rate. The margin is frequently negotiable with the lender. Different margins should be expected with different indexes as various popular indexes differ in their historical values relative to each other. In other words, the lower the index level, the higher the expected margin. When various index/margin options are available to a borrower, an analysis should be performed to determine which is the most economical.

Utility witnesses want it both ways:
Stranded-cost recovery plus incentives for renewable energy.A New England utility executive told a U.S.
well, but that advantage likely disappears if one considers nuclear fuel disposal costs.
Similarly, compare all other fixed and variable operating costs per kilowatt of capacity, reducing (or increasing) the value of the appraised plant, depending upon whether the replacement facility shows a cost advantage or disadvantage. All future yearly cost estimates must be discounted to present value to reflect the total cost comparison as of the appraisal date.
Finally, an additional deduction in value may be appropriate for economic or external obsolescence. The appraiser must determine if the projections of the market price of electricity would allow the purchaser to recover all costs. If there is excess capacity in the market, so that competing plants in the market area of the appraised subject are likely to sell electricity priced at marginal cost (i.e., electricity priced so low it does not recover capital costs), it is likely the replacement facility also could not recover its capital costs. These unrecovered costs warrant a deduction. In the long run, however, the market price of electricity should be high enough to allow recovery of both capital and operating costs of the most efficient operating units as marginal plants exit the market.
COMPARABLE SALES. The third method, the sales comparison approach to value, considers actual market sales prices of comparable properties. Most often used for residential real estate, the comparable sales approach may have limits in the case of electric generating plants. In a fully regulated environment, those few power plant sales that would occur would likely send the plant to another utility; absent any strategic purposes peculiar to a particular buyer, there would be no reason to pay more than rate base.
Under deregulation, however, the appraiser should investigate market sales of power plants comparable to the appraised plant. In fact, with disaggregation and competition, such sales are occurring more frequently. But such sales are likely to include the prices for power purchase agreements, stranded cost recovery rights, other intangible contract rights, indemnification for various liabilities such as nuclear fuel disposal costs, other environmental liabilities, and other assets or costs not directly related to the tangible or taxable property. Rather, it is quite possible that the value of just the taxable tangible assets can be determined reliably only by the cost or income methods. %n6%n
UNIT-VALUE CONSIDERATIONS. For the utilities in the approximately 36 states that have their property valued by the unit method, the above techniques are also applicable.
The unit should be broken into those components that are likely to remain rate-base regulated such as transmission and distribution, with those assets being valued through traditional unit value techniques. Next, the assets that are likely not to be subject to rate base regulation will have to be identified, most likely the generating assets. A determination will have to be made about when they will be severed from the unit, or at least, no longer be allowed to earn an income based on rate base times a permitted rate of return. After that date, the above local valuation techniques will have to be applied.

Car bomb kills three Iraqi soldiers north of Baghdad
Tuesday 31 January 2012
Three Iraqi soldiers have been killed in a bomb blast north of Baghdad, an Iraqi official said today.
The attack came hours before the nation's parliament is to reconvene after Sunni-backed politicians ended their boycott in protest at persecution of Sunni officials.
Major Ghalib al-Karkhi, a police spokesman in Diyala province, said a parked car bomb was detonated near a military patrol in Baqouba late yesterday, killing three soldiers and injuring three others.
Baqouba is a former al Qaida stronghold, 35 miles (60km) north-east of Baghdad.
Al Qaida has frequently targeted Iraqi security forces since the US troops left in December.
The group appears to be exploiting a political crisis that erupted after the Shiite-led government issued an arrest warrant for the Sunni vice president on terrorism charges.

I read Shop-Eat-Surf at every opportunity, and I waited too long to sign up for the Executive Edition. It's timely, relevant and clearly "from the industry, for the industry.- By Andy Laats, President, Nixon
I'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.
I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it's always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.- By Monica Wise, Founder, L*Space

Kasey Curtis – That's right, our very own …Lost family member is the new sales rep for the ever-important Southern Orange County, San Diego and Inland Empire regions, which are all close to his hometown of San Juan Capistrano. We figured, who knows how to sell the brand better than a guy who's been representing …Lost for so many years already? KC has made the transition from prominent surf star to valiant road warrior by jumping aboard the …Lost sales team when the opportunity presented itself. He will be handling clothing, as well as …Lost surfskates AND surfboards (which he knows in detail from countless hours of true product testing!).
Benny "Your Favorite Sales Rep" Bigler – Back by popular demand, long-time …Lost team rider and sales guru Benny Bigler is hitting the road again. After a couple of years in the …Lost offices, we could not ignore the multiple requests from our retailers to work with Benny again as their outside rep. So, we've arranged for Benny to manage the Northern Orange County and LA regions, with an emphasis on doing what he does best: provide a level of service, passion and general salesmanship that is second to none. He will focus exclusively on selling all aspects of the …Lost brand (apparel, Surfboards and Surfskates) to retailers throughout the territory.

In addition, the …Lost sales team has plans to add a Midwest sales rep in the near future, which will spread the …Lost apparel and lifestyle to an attention-starved population eager to see product in their local retail stores.

EDIT: links are busted, the links in my sig.
Ok, here are the pics of my ghetto phabulous all grain setup. Here are the cost rundowns...
1 five gal Igloo cooler - $15
1 four gal pot (2 for full 5 gal batches) - $30
1 grain bag - $10
1 bottle cap (used) - $.0078
1 rubber band - $.003
And thats it! Total cost in equipment for this 3 gal condo batch = $55.00
This is the tiny kitchen in which I have to work.
From left to right, my HLT (also known as the Pasta Pot) and my Kettle (I know, he's a little guy, but with two you can do a full 5 gal batch, my electric stove can't handle the single big ones)
The bag itself, hung up so you can get an idea of the scale. Yeah, it's big.
This looks great, as I too live in a small space...
More pics please, I'm really curious about your rubberband bottle cap mechanism...

I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
JESUS! thats pretty sweet
Yeah, but can you blow up the bad guys with nothing but a paper clip and a piece of gum? I thought not.
Hehe, I love that ghetto spigot-holder-downer.
Excellent. I don't know if Macgyver would have thought of the cap.
He did, I think I saw it in an episode once. It wasn't for brewing though, it was for blowing something up... can't remember exactly what...
...or why...
haha that's histerical.
you know there should be a contest for the cheapest/ simplest way to brew AG and the most complex ala Rube Goldberg.

Fermenter 2:
Bottled: Irish Red
Bottled: Le Stout
Bottled: Edwort's Pale Ale
Bottled: Dark Chocolate Porter
Okay...my kitchen's smaller than that, but not by much. I bet I could do that in my place.
Dangit. Another level to the obsession.

A convicted drug dealer from Thamesmead has had nearly £16,000 confiscated after police found the cash at his house.
Police raided Awal Tahiru's flat in Wolvercote Road on May 22 last year after a package destined for the same address, was intercepted five days earlier at Heathrow and found to contain more than 14kg of cannabis.
At the 37-year-old's home they found 1.2kg of cannabis inside a sports bag in the fridge and £15,600 in cash hidden in a large suitcase at the bottom of a wardrobe.
On January 30 he was convicted of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and possession of criminal property and was sentenced to a year in prison.
The Crown Prosecution Service decided not to proceed with a charge of importing drugs in relation to the package found at Heathrow.
At Woolwich Crown Court today a confiscation order for £15,657.60 was issued against Tahiru.
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Ann-Marie Waller, from the Criminal Finance Team at based at Lewisham police station, said: "Tahiru was unable to offer any plausible explanation for where or how he had obtained this money.
"He claimed the money had been given to him by an unknown person he met in Elephant and Castle in order to buy laptops for a family member, but was unable to offer up any evidence to corroborate the story.
"Given the amount of drugs we found in his property it was more than likely this cash was linked to criminal activity and the court agreed with this and duly confiscated the cash that was seized."

"Profesisonally fun place to work with a focus on growing both individuals and company footprint. "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Harrington StarrPros
Harrington Starr is a privately owned, financial services technology recrtuiment business formed in 2010 and with an active client base, just 23 months later, of 230 companies.
The company prides itself on its ability to fill the hard to find roles whilst maintaing an exceptional level of service. The training I received at Harrington Starr was excellent. After spending 16 weeks going through the Harrington Starr University Program, which is an extensive program focused on the entire recruitment lifecycle, I was able to move into a full consultant role managing the entire process. I was provided with several documents that enable me to constantly learn while I am on the job, supported by the 'training manual', a 350 page manual written by the founders on best practices within the job.
The company is passionate about constantly improving and we have regular "innovation meetings" to ensure that everyone in the business has a say in the culture and daily running of the business. We have recently implemented several changes that were proposed within the meeting to prove this.
There is a genuine team feel in the air and everyone pulls together to ensure that the company is successful. We have regular team outings and everyone in the company is a pleasure to work with.
This is a great place to work for anyone from an experienced recruiter through to a graduate as individual earning potential can be maximised in a short period of time. The commission structure is fantastic with 40% commission exercised on £25,000 + billing and activity levels are managed using prozone and OPTA, which are never used as a stick, but a carrot to acheiving optimal performance.Cons
The only downside within the company is that the standards are so high not only externally but internally, which sometimes leads to long hours to ensure that best practices are followed from database compliance through to CV formatting.Advice to ManagementAdvice
I think the leadership team is doing a great job at the moment, I would ask that they continue to keep the transparency between the company and individual strategies.Recommends
