The recruitment and executive search market took an expected big hit during 2009.The overall market being down caused client companies to change their hiring methods and requirements and job seeking candidates to alter their job search expectations, which effected the business and profitability of the broad spectrum of international and local recruitment and executive search companies operating on the Russian market. Staffwell sailed through those tough times by having long-term loyal clients, new clients with progressive growth plans, and the most highly skilled and hard working professional recruitment/executive search team on the Russian market.

STAFFWELL MARKET REPORT 2009 - Q1 2010
Monday, May 17th, 2010Live and Learn
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010
I was recently invited to attend one of John Maxwell’s lectures on Leadership, which was being hosted in the auditorium of a large church in Asheville, North Carolina. I had debated for a few days on whether or not to go. The con was that I am not a big fan of lectures as they always fall short of my expectations, with more time spent on the speaker advertising his/her latest books and related materials for you to buy, then on actually teaching you something new and useful. The pro was that I was curious whether Maxwell, who had written and sold so many books on leadership, might actually have something useful for me to learn.
Aggression in the Workplace
Monday, November 16th, 2009
As recruiters we hear people complain all day long about their companies and the people in their companies, which is usually why they are seeking new employment. We also hear companies complain daily about their staff and management, which is why we get recruitment assignments to replace them. Aggression in the workplace has always been a key factor in contributing to the disruption and downfall of teamwork and team spirit and can be seen as one of the main factors in company headcount turnover.
Market Update - Fall 2009
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
The recent global crisis and following recession started to affect Russia in the fall of 2008 for most companies, with Russia’s largest companies feeling the pressure a few months earlier. Many of us, myself included, estimated that we had about a year of tough times ahead before things would start to pick up again, and then likely at a slow to moderate pace. Staffwell started to see a real change for the better starting in July 2009.
What Body Language Says About You

By Leslie Witt
People tend to make up their mind about someone in the very first minutes of a meeting, before a single word is spoken. And once that impression is made, it is almost impossible to change. A huge component of this is body language – a person’s posture and gestures. So when you meet someone for the first time, particularly someone whose good opinion is important for your career, it is vital you understand what your body language says about you.
