Will it be the end of Non-Compete agreements in the US? 🤔 New legislation which is likely to become effective in September means that non-compete agreements will become non-enforceable. Meaning that employees will have the freedom to choose their next employer rather than be subjected to rules which mean that they can’t work for anyone in the same industry in the same state, and can’t work for a competitor. The law, designed to protect businesses, has always been controversial… Do you think non-competes are a good or a bad thing? #NonCompetes #Employees #Hiring #FlairForTalent

Sam went on a trip with her family to Paris, and they needed to find a quick and efficient way to get from A to B.

Just like a world-class footballer nearing the end of their career and potentially considering a move to a smaller club, not everyone has the same ambitions or motivations. Who would have thought that Lionel Messi would move to Inter Miami – a relatively unknown club to the rest of the world? Messi was offered significantly more money to play in Saudi Arabia but still chose Inter Miami. Why? David Beckham and the management team at Inter Miami created a package that went beyond salary. It included associations with big brands, opportunities for ownership stakes in the club, and various commercial ventures. Additionally, the move allowed Messi to be closer to his family in Argentina. Miami's Latin feel and vibrant community made it an appealing choice for him and his family. His decision highlights that career choices are often influenced by a combination of factors, including personal values, family considerations, and long-term opportunities, rather than just financial incentives.

Regular updates and feedback are crucial for maintaining strong relationships with candidates. Initially, I managed this on an ad-hoc basis, which often led to some inconsistency. To improve, I now dedicate an hour each week in my calendar specifically for candidate updates. This ensures that every candidate knows their status in the search process and feels valued. And it works!!! #CandidateExperience #CandidateEngagement #FlairForTalent
