The Optimum Way:
We're known by the "companies" we keep.
There is a special challenge involved in finding permanent staff, as opposed to temporary employees.
Our clients rely on us to find staff which is competent and reliable - regardless of whether it is
for a temporary or permanent position.
With more than 25 years of experience, Optimum has helped place thousands of permanent employees in
companies throughout the Montreal area. We have the resources and expertise to find top-notch staff
to fill the following job categories:
|
Accounting/Finance
Sales
Human Resources
E.D.P./M.I.S
Technical
Credit
Management
Network Specialists
Product Management
Administrative
|
|
Secretarial
Receptionist
Accounting
Order Desk
Customer Service
Purchasing
Data Entry
Marketing
Traffic/Logisti
|
However, choosing a candidate for a permanent position requires more intensive interviews, personality
analysis and at times reference checks. Not only do we have to ascertain whether the individual in
question can fulfill the client's short-term needs, but we have to project well into the future to
determine whether the candidate has the ability to grow with the company he or she is joining.
How often have we all heard stories of new employees who start their job with enthusiasm in their first
few weeks on the job, only to fizzle out within a few months. Invariably, the story is always the same.
The person in question had the requisite knowledge and training, but lacked what is known in the trade
as EI - Emotional Intelligence.
EI is the latest jargon as far as hiring goes. We're all looking for those elusive job candidates who
have the emotional makeup to match their job skills. Emotional disposition is likely the single most
important factor in determining whether a potential employee has the right stuff to make a long-term
contribution to a corporation.
It is the ability to harness one's social and educational skills in an effort to build a cohesive team.
It involves relating to other individuals in the work environment in a positive manner while operating
under normal business stresses.
For the final word on the ideal personality in an employee, remember the advice of best-selling author
and business guru Tom Peters:
I’d sacrifice 25 IQ points for a healthy dose of sunshine.
