An old Chinese proverb states that “the journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one’s feet”.  In recent days, there are positive indications that we might be about to begin a journey into a more positive business environment. 

Example of some of the seeds of optimism are as follows;

Stock market gains in excess of 30% in one week for Citigroup, General Electric, Bank of America (up 80%), JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Scheering Plough and General Motors.

AT&T announcing that they will hire 3000 people because they cut too deep initially and Citicorp are hiring again. Talent Partners are receiving good news stories from our MRINetwork offices located in the US, highlighting increased retail sales in America, general upturn in consumer confidence and more placements being made.

While the next few months will continue to be challenging for businesses, hopefully positive signals will continue to emerge from the global markets and the Irish government will play their part in getting business moving again.

Now might be the time for you to really appraise your team and to potentially avail of the talented individuals available in the Irish marketplace.
