Good recruiters, who can  develop effective recruitment strategies and quickly build a pipeline of top talent for their employees, are becoming hot commodities. If you could trade in professional staff, then the share price for recruiters would be high and climbing for the foreseeable future. This is because of the impact of the well documented global talent shortages of US businesses – Deloitte goes as to far to suggest that there is a talent crisis in global manufacturing – which means that effective recruiters are highly prized assets. Add to this the effects of the ageing population and low birth rates of many western economies and we can expect talent shortages to remain with us for many years to come.

Starting a business just out of school? Take notes, as there are a few things you should know about entrepreneurship that college simply won't prepare you for. Here are 10 things your university won't teach you:

The more money you spend on yourself and your lifestyle, the less you'll have to invest in your business.

This is because consumers like to feel pampered and important, and they will not hesitate to take their business elsewhere if they feel like they aren’t being treated well enough. Great thing that there are only five strategies that separate so-so from award-winning customer service.
