Unemployment in a recession has always somewhat mystified me. There's a serious Catch-22 going on here. People need jobs, so they can make money to buy at least the basic essentials. Companies don't hire them because they don't have the money. The companies don't have the money because people aren't buying their stuff. People aren't buying their stuff because they don't have jobs.
Wait a minute.
Something's fundamentally wrong with this picture.
Here's how it's supposed to work: A company is making a great product that people want to buy. They hire great people to make more of it and sell more of it. Those people go and buy stuff they need from other companies. Those companies make money, and hire people themselves.
That's how it's working here at Compendium. We've got a great product, and we've got great people working here.
When companies stop looking at employees as their biggest cost and start looking at them as their revenue generators, they want to hire more of them. Without people, your business will wither and die. It really is that simple.
