Talent, Talent Everywhere

GetQuik has added a new member to our customer service team . LJ is our first Santa Clara University grad. We had interviewed a number of excellent candidates for the position, and were surprised at the quality of candidates searching for new opportunities. LJ will be a key contributor to GetQuik as we continue to grow and expand into new territories.

For the few companies with the combination of strong cash reserves and the ability to manage growth in these difficult times, access to top talent is better than ever. These talented individuals will provide the foundation for explosive growth when the economy eventually pulls out of this dizzying tail spin. As those in the valley recall, our most recent corporate phenom was seemingly the only company doing huge levels of hiring following the dot-com fallout. That company is Google. They parlayed their uncontested talent grab into one of the greatest success stories of recent times. The most likely valley candidate to benefit from the current talent windfall is Facebook, though Twitter is making things interesting with their newly minted "it" company status.

All the best to the great folks yet to land into new opportunities. Although it may seem otherwise, top talent is required, even in recessions.
