Seit Snowden, Wikileaks oder dem Down der Amazon Cloud Ende Februar 2017 in den USA, aber auch spätestens ab Mai 2018 sollten wir Startups & Unternehmer fit sein für den Datenschutz unserer Tools, wenn die  DS-GVO   kommt. Wer nicht auf Google, Microsoft, Apple und Co. vertrauen will, dem seien hier nun 2 Tools empfohlen, wo man für kleines Geld das Thema Datenschutz bei eMail und Cloud Speicher schon mal abhaken kann. Wie das ganze dann mit unseren vielgeliebten Apps aus den USA sein wird, die mit Google, Apple und Microsoft integrieren, also Dinge wie Evernote, Wunderlist, HubSpot, Leadfeeder, Lever, Hire Vue uvm. bleibt abzuwarten und nur zu hoffen, dass wir dann nicht aufgrund der DS-GVO wieder zurück in die Computer Steinzeit geworfen werden, sprich um 15 Jahre zurück, als man nur mit MS Office und eMail arbeitete. Nun zu den 2 Systemen, um die es geht,  Protonmail  und  Tresorit . Protonmail:  Hierbei handelt es sich laut  Wikipe...

Maybe nothing new for you, but good to be aware of this development in times of information production every second on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We got faster during the last 7 years in producing information, but also not smarter. We live in a wave of information overkill and there is no time for background checks or thinking about the sense, of what we wrote or talked about. There is no time and the people around us don’t have the time too, which gives us the chance to produce much senseless information, but with a feeling of importance, because we are productive.  But there are on the other side positive and negative things concerning this topic.  Yes, we produce more information and read this information by algorithms and use it in daily life, for our health, smart homes, sales and marketing, science and business. On the other side, there is a leak of quality in cultural and society topics as well as in journalism, that wikipedia and also Dietrich Mateschi...

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...

It's all about sales and marketing, but where has our hard-facts review culture gone ? This is a question, I ask myself since some month, because I have the subjective feeling(post-truth!:-p), that since some years we celebrate more the new things, ideas and visions and forgot to focus on old-school reviews. Sometimes are reviews a proof for great business strategies and you can learn from it for the future. Sometimes it's better not to look back or to the facts and figures, because it will bring a bigger damage to daylight you better hide. The older I get, the more I like numbers and facts. Real numbers, provable numbers, because this is the only way, to learn something in a honest, realistic way, especially in these times of post-truth and subjective feelings you meet in social media. On the other hand, I think, that this kind of review culture is going to decline, because it's not sexy to be beaten by hard facts in the end. Facts are a kind of control autho...

Good evening from Vienna in Austria, after some month of observation, I like to try to talk about my view about Donald Trump. Yes, Donald is a Elephant in the porcelain shop, but I like that. :-) He speaks frankly like an entrepreneur, an old school entrepreneur generation like my grandfather or my parents from similar age. This is a generation of handshake quality, a generation of mistakes and fast turnarounds after that, they act and talk what they act like. So, how to deal with them in times of social media, information leaks, fast decisions, hysteric analyzes and lobbyism ? Would Donald Trump be president of the United States in 1996, there would be no problem, of understanding his decisions, I think, because during this time, he was in his main powerful years. On the other side, he is also today, but with a leak of a lobby, because the lobby and politics have changed. Sometimes you just want to move something, but you don't have the lobby or you can't act as ...

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...
