Staffing and Placement News & Resources

Protecting Your Data by Minimizing the ROI for Hackers

General IT

Verizon’s 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report revealed that the majority of hackers, approximately 60 percent, seek financial gain from cyber activities. Industry spying for intellectual property accounts for approximately 25 percent, and few hack merely for fun. The implication is that hacking is all about the resale value of data, which affects the return on income (ROI) for hackers. Taylor Armerding of IT News emphasizes the need for organizations to invest in security systems to the extent that it raises the cost for hackers to steal company data. The more it costs a hacker to break through your firewalls or security systems, the lower the ROI for the hacker. Multiple security levels can deter hackers who will find another, cheaper target. A company does not need the latest and greatest defense, but just enough that the possible pay-off for hackers is not worth the cost of an offensive. Hacking is big business. The value of the data that can be stolen is an indicator of the level of investment a company should consider. The following are suggestions to ensure that your organization is an undesirable target. Analyze your data and its value. Credit card data is valuable information that can be easy to sell. Email lists should be protected; email addresses are often the names of multiple accounts that can be accessed. Intellectual property is only valuable to a limited market such as competitors. If this information is hacked, it is likely that there is a pre-determined buyer. Social security numbers are a hacker’s gold, facilitating assumed identities and access to credit lines. Security precautions should be diffused and... read more

Can You Afford to Wait for Other Applicants?

HR & Management

The answer depends on the particular company and the market circumstances. If a company is hiring for the long-term, then there may be no urgency to fill a position. If the skills are required right away, delay in hiring could affect the bottom line. Similarly, trends in the labor market are a factor. According to the Department of Labor, the unemployment rate for the hospitality sector decreased by almost two percent between March and April of 2014; if you are considering hiring a hospitality professional, I would not wait. A reputable staffing firm can inform you of the environmental factors that could influence your decision. They could also advise you of the likelihood of finding another candidate. Perhaps your approach to hiring lacks precision. A staffing firm can help you to pinpoint exactly what skills you require and to craft a suitable job description that will attract better candidates. Three Points to Consider: Estimate the cost of a job not done. Is the lack of human resources affecting the bottom line? Perhaps other staff can assume additional responsibilities temporarily if motivation is provided. The additional cost of waiting now may well be less that the cost of a bad hire later. Be flexible. Analyze what is lacking in the current candidate pool. No candidate will be perfect, but some factors are more crucial to the decision than others. A bad fit in terms of corporate culture is a deal breaker because the employee will never be comfortable. However, a level of inexperience can be overcome by additional training or mentoring. You may risk losing a good candidate, if you... read more

Four Tips on Building Trust as a New IT Executive

General IT

In new role as an IT executive, or manager, you are charged with learning the ropes in a new organization while also attempting to gain people’s trust. Your IT and leadership expertise does not make you inured to the trials of being new and learning the machinations of a new company. Use your early days to show that you are vulnerable and that you require the support of your team. Understand the organization and the key personnel who will help you achieve business objectives. Start by building an organizational map and meeting as many personnel as you can. Only when you grasp the lay of the land, should you try to effect it. Enlist the help of your team. Invite their feedback, hold meetings, and learn. The most valuable information and ideas are often from those who work directly with clients and who experience day-to-day operations. Listening is a leader’s most powerful tool. Vanessa Merit Nornberg of Inc. reports on the ways that a casual remark can carry substantial business implications. As the listener, you receive valuable information that can be useful in formulating strategy. The speaker processes information in its delivery, which is of benefit in itself. If the listener acts on the information; mutual trust is established. According to Rich Hein of IT News, if the company is in crisis mode, quick action will not help and may cause more damage. Unless staff trust and respect you, your efforts will be in vain. If imminent action must be taken, identify those most likely to understand the situation and target them initially. Only when you have a solid... read more
