We are continuing to grow here at Select Metrix and The Hire Sense.  Let me be the first to introduce you to the newest member of our team – Mike Cardinal.  Mike will be heading up our new offerings which will revolve around sales management.

Mike has almost 30 years of experience in the sales and sales management arena and will be a strong addition to our team.  One of the first orders of business will be a significant change to our hiring process and specifically our warranty.  More to come on that topic later this week.

Mike will also be contributing to The Hire Sense with his expertise in sales management.  Please look for his first few posts in the near future.

We have also updated our About the Authors page with more information and background on each of us.

From the StarTribune’s Beyond The Basic Job Search Rules:

His company (Jericho Communications) has conducted research that shows on average it takes one month for every $10,000 in salary in order to find a new job. So, if you’re looking for a $50,000 per year position, it could take up to five months €” if you work at it daily.

I haven’t heard of that equation before reading this article. We work on the company side of hiring, but I suspect this equation holds water for candidates? My initial take on sales positions is that candidates find opportunities faster than this rate. Of course, a strong salesperson can find a new career opportunity much quicker than a schmoozer.
