IT's war against the HR process - Part #3.

Second reason to have a SPARK - UPGRADES that cost less!
-Hire for Attitude, Train for skills!-



SPARKs learn fast, REALLY fast. Ususally SPARKs are the first people tasked to learn about and understand new technology. They love doing this so it's not a big deal. They then become an expert within a short time. A short time later this process repeats itself. As you can see the value is immense.
Do you know of a SPARK that doesn't have the skill you need? Ask them if that skill is one they wish to posess. If so you're in for a treat. Spend the time and money to train the SPARK in the selected skill, then ask the SPARK to provide suggestions that could bring positive impact to both the Client's business and yours.

The overall result?

1)As an employer you can pay less than obtaining skilled professionals by upgrading current staff. Increasing pay by 6,000$ is always less than hiring new talent and increasing headcount.

2)The Client sees investment into the people of the company and since the current SPARKs know the environment you can provide "Aligned Value" to the Client.
