Breadhunter's News

Because I have quitted my Facebook account since about 2 years and my Instagram since 6 months, so I think it's time for an international update for all who are not on LinkedIn about my latest actions and also about the way I understand social media. The older you get, more the quality of something is important than the quantity I have learned over the last years and for this, you don't need Facebook or Instagram postings for a showing of. I think it's an unwritten law in global executive communities that matter not to post every meeting or to make selfies with celebrities you are in contact with and for the last 2 years this is the new strategy I will tell you about in this article. Maybe it's also interesting for you to be different and apart from the crowd of sheep / lemmings. I think we live now in times where people think you have no life, no business and no friends, if you are not active in social media. Companies do not make business, teams are not teams...

Zeit und Freiheit tun und lassen können, was man möchte, sind Luxusgüter heutzutage, die sich eigentlich nur noch Privatiers leisten können, oder diejenigen, die nicht in die Konsumfalle geraten sind, die uns die Gesellschaft incl. Marketing seit Jahren vorgibt. Lars Vollmers Artikel  „Geschlossene Gesellschaft“ , den ich heute auf LinkedIn las, sprach mir aus der Seele und es tat gut, da draußen wieder einen Bruder im Geiste(was ich eh schon weiß) zu haben. Vielen anderen mag dieser Artikel auch aus der Seele sprechen, aber sie sind vielleicht schon mit 1 Bein in der Misere gefangen und können nicht so einfach raus, denn Haus Kredit, der neue SUV, der jährliche exotische Sommerurlaub, sowie die Kids, haben einen fest im Griff, dass man sich nicht einfach solchen revoluzerischen Denkmustern in der Praxis hingeben kann, oder auch will. Was ich meine ist die Arbeitssituation in der sich viele von uns befinden, dem Spagat zwischen Selbstverwirklichung und Spass, sowie mode...

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...

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...

So, the strange year 2016 comes to an end, and I like that. There were a lot of funerals, great artists from show-biz died as well as Umberto Eco, my favorite writer. The Chinese year of the monkey act like a insane monkey, if you think about business and the new terror which came up too in 2016. Here I can recommend the  new book  of  Gilles Kepel . I think it's now time to come down and do something different from what we all did the last month, to clean our brain-hard-disc to be ready for 2017. I can recommend the following books, Amazon and Netflix and I am sure you will like it. From business aspect it was a quite successful year 2016, we got 3 new partners at Talentor and 3 more new partners are in the pipeline for the 1st quarter, I am in contact with since 1-2 years. I am also happy to be ready for a new opportunity in March / April 2017, because I think Talentor is now on a good way to develop and move straight forward, after I brought in total 10 new cou...

There were a long time no Talentor news, right ? But sometimes there is time for work and sometimes time for news (by the way, a lot of times in this sentence ;-) - ). So, here comes new NEWS, what's going on  @Talentor International  in Vienna and globally: So there was a lot of new partner search, selection, video calls and meetings in 2016, to find the right and fitting partners around the globe. Then there is a lot of increasing cross-border business, helping our clients in Europe and in China to fill their positions with the best candidates from the market. In march my  new book  about headhunting with blog articles from the last 10 years was published, sorry in German only, but I promise, the next one, will be in english... I am proud to have sold more than 500 copies in 8 month, so there is an audience outside I didn't knew about yet. Thanx ! :-) In September we had our annual partner summit in Bucarest, which is always a mixture of Future of Work Sessio...

Drittel ist der Erfolg aus einer guten Zusammenarbeit."   "Die HR- und die Personalberatungs-Branche blieb bis heute vom 'großen Saubermachen' durch Mc Kinsey & Co verschont." ... unausgesprochene Wahrheiten und Chance für die Headhunting-Branche diese Themen Proaktiv anzugehen, um daraus etwas neues und besseres zu schaffen. Die Eingangs angeführten 2 Punkte zeigen 2 Bereiche der Personalberatung auf, die ich im folgenden näher Beleuchten will, um so einerseits für die Kunden ein besseres Bewußtsein für das Headhunter Handwerk zu schaffen, damit Bla-Bla Beratung wieder besser vom echten Handwerk unterschieden werden kann, zum anderen möchte ich zum 'großen-Reinemachen' bezüglich unserer seit 40 Jahren fast immer gleichen Headhunter Prozesse und Businessmo...

www.talentor.com Das neue Jahr 2016 ist bereits gut gestartet und auch bei Talentor haben wir von einigen Neuerungen zu berichten. Im Dezember konnten wir Reno-China mit an Bord holen und damit den ersten Fuss nach Asien setzen. Das hilft uns nun für unsere europäischen Kunden auch in Asien vertreten zu sein und einen kompeteten Partner dort zu haben, der sich in beiden Welten auskennt, der asiatischen und europäischen, denn die Doppelspitze der Firma Reno-Consulting besteht aus einem chinsischen und einem finnischen Partner. Desweiteren haben wir Christian Huber(langjähriges, innovatives ePunkt Urgestein), als COO für die Partnerbetreuung und interne Prozessoptimierung dazugewinnen können. Er unterstützt Michael Sarsteiner, CEO, und mich seit Januar auch in Bezug X-Border-Sales Themen, Prozessen und Partnerbetreuung. Wir sind also nun zu einem netten Triumvirat gewachsen, um die steigende Partnerzahl und kulturellen Besonderheiten jedes Landes besser bedienen zu können ...
