Breadhunter's News

Gute 30 Monate nach dem Re-Launch von  BREADHUNTER  mit  5 verschiedenen Webseiten  für die jeweiligen Kundenzielgruppen, ja man könnte es auch HubSpot für den kleinen Geldbeutel nennen, möchte ich mal wieder ein paar Insides loswerden, die vielleicht generell, aber auch für Jungunternehmer oder echte Unternehmer interessant sind, die fernab von Crowdfunding, Investoren oder finanzieller Sicherheit durch ein Erbe, beschlossen haben, Unternehmer zu werden oder sich durch längere Arbeitslosigkeit dazu entschlossen haben. Diese Art von Unternehmern, wie sie früher eigentlich normal war, also sich von 0 etwas aufzubauen mit vielleicht 1.000 - 3.000 € Startkapital oder aus einer AMS Situation heraus, weil das Unternehmen, wo man vorher gearbeitet hatte, insolvent geworden ist und man mit Anfang 50 keinen Job mehr findet, ist heutzutage selten, aber doch in letzter Zeit immer öfter anzutreffen. Natürlich sind Startups und Unternehmertum die letzten 8 Jahre irgendwie sehr s...

We know this sabbatical thing at least since 5 years, when the innovative  CXO's Kai Diekmann, Martin Sinner and Peter Würtenberger  created a new business trend, many CXO's followed during the last years. Get a rest, delete your old-business-habits and learn from other entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley or in South-Korea was the mantra. And yes, this is not just for you, if you are an independent gentleman or CXO with a big bank account, it's more about prioritization, what you really want in your life and how you handle your needs and money the month before, so that you are able to afford 6 month staying away from your job. In my personal career, I had mostly every 8 years such a kind of 3-6 month sabbatical time, which helped me to bring me again up-to-date and rethink old workflows and business habits, I was used to the years before. As an creative entrepreneur and smart business freak, you need this to stay tuned in this fast moving world, because you can...

After a season marathon of SUITS (season 1-6) I got the idea, that it would be important to open the mind of the LinkedIn audience a bit into the direction, that Headhunters are useful not only for filling your position and use the synergies of their lobby network. We all-rounder headhunter, this is a headhunter who works on his projects from acquisition of the job, via direct search and gathering of information and client management trough candidate interviews and final placement, resemble more to a Partner of a Law Firm, than you might expect. You don't find this species in large mass-recruiting companies, but in small international boutique executive search environments. In mass-recruiting companies, every employee has his task in a clear limited field of operation, e.g. there is a person who makes just the research(searching all day long), then there are just liquidators, who take care of the candidate interviews and then there are the sales consultants / partners, res...

Some silent time went by the last weeks without blog posts, because this is now more a creative and busy time for me, but you are right I owe you a short update what's going on with  Mr. BREADHUNTER  and his thoughts and ideas at the moment I am working on. So after leaving Talentor  and being back in march from my inspiring New York trip, there is now a time of fine tuning concerning new headhunting products and clients business needs. I have checked also my facts & figures from the last 33 month at Talentor, where I had ca 1.268 video-calls out of 8.987 screenings with interesting boutique headhunting companies around the globe and I am glad, that I could bring during this time ca. 12 countries(9 partners) to Talentor and fulfill my sales goals extraordinary, but it was also very sad for me to see on the other hand, that 10 countries left the network during this 33 month period I was there. Maybe you know it, how it feels being in the third line of a hie...

Time is running and now, after 2 weeks my New York trip came to an end, but I will be back, my friends for sure :-). There is now enough material and pics for your inspiration for the next month in my mind and I also made a new personal website:  www.thomaszahlten.com   for personal introduction. After my 33 month at Talentor International, now a new era was ushered and we will see, where it will lead to the next month. So give me call for a cup of coffee. I really enjoyed "the city, that never sleeps", took a lot of pictures in Brooklyn & Manhatten, you will get sliced the next weeks combined with blog posts. I had good, inspirational meetings...and this is what I am since years: An international connector, border-less thinker and global actor. Vienna is nice to live, but the playground is the world, especially the US, Russia, Europe and Asia. So, check out my  blog-posts  and  websites  and thank you for your attention even if there was l...
