What do you know about my company?

This is a common question to ask a candidate during an initial interview. Most candidates are able to give in-depth details about their most recent employers but cut corners on researching new employers or recruiting firms. USA TODAY Snapshots reported "little knowledge of company" as the most common mistake candidates make during job interviews. Letting a recruiter fix this mistake will have a measurable payoff.

ProEdit recruiters make it their business to understand how your company operates and which strategies are being implemented to improve profitability. We use this specialized knowledge to evaluate potential candidates in our database and prepare each qualified candidate for an in-depth interview with your hiring manager. It’s a ProEdit best practice that ensures candidates have an accurate understanding of the job requirements, performance expectations, and work environment before accepting a job offer. Your payoff comes as the result of a shortened recruiting cycle and a lower turnover rate.

Little or no knowledge of your company is a mistake ProEdit will never make.

Having Problems with Your Internet?

Starting on Friday, Aug. 5, 2011, communication media, including the Internet and cell phones, experienced brief inoperability due to a solar storm. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that solar flares would interrupt some satellite communications over the weekend, and additional solar flares are now expected to impact the Earth’s magnetic field on Wednesday or Thursday.

These solar flares were only medium-sized, but they won’t be the last. According to the NOAA, the worst solar flares occurred more than 150 years ago, and a similar storm is brewing for 2013.

Have you thought about how your business will continue to run if your network went down, or worse, something happens to your physical building? How will you gain access to critical data? Do your employees know your company’s protocol in case of a national disaster? Do you have a Disaster Recovery Plan or Master Recovery Policy and Plan?

Every business needs a recovery plan, but very few take the time to develop and document a detailed plan. Do you have the right personnel to create this valuable document? At ProEdit, we make it our business to know the best technical writers in the industry. With more than 50,000 talented professionals in our network, we can help you find the perfect person for the job. ProEdit's contractors can be ready to work for you at a moment's notice so you’ll be ready the next time the power flickers or the sun flares.
