Their Score finished goods replenishment solution has been hailed as the first real innovation in this field since the 1960's.

2. Sales Opportunities Continue at Blue Martini Software and PeopleSoft, Inc..

• Selection Strategies continues its long-term engagement at Blue Martini Software, which went public in late July 2000. It began selling its Customer Interaction System® eCRM products in April of 1999, and in the midst of this topsy-turvy market, is still on track for profitability in 2001.
• Our search for several California-based salespeople at PeopleSoft also continues. We're looking people to sell both the PeopleSoft 8 applications suite, as well as applications acquired through their acquisition of Vantive.

Take a look at our "Hiring" page to find out more about these opportunities.

3. New Hiring Intelligence™ Courses!

• Selection Strategies is pleased to announce two new courses in our Hiring Intelligence™ series.
• The first is Recruiting for Talent, a two-day course that teaches our entire methodology, from developing effective hiring models, sourcing and interviewing candidates, closing them and managing them for peak performance. This course is is indispensible for dedicated IT sales recruiters, and is strongly recommended for managers with hiring responsibility seeking to understand the various of the recruiting process, and human resource professionals responsible for delivering recruiting services.
• If our new Hiring Intelligence seminar is "basic training" for IT sales recruiting, our next offering is more like an Outward Bound trip. If you're a senior sales manager or a venture capital executive who wants to learn how to make competency-based recruiting work for you, we offer a two-hour survey course called Ten Principles of World-Class Recruiting. This course teaches the high-level essentials of Hiring Intelligence, and enables executives to assess the value of our methodology. We offer this course in conjunction with our recruiting partner, Strategic Software Resources of Natick, MA.

8. Selection Strategies at the Linkage e-HR Future Show.

For the first time, Selection Strategies was an exhibitor at Linkage, Inc.'s e-HR Future Showlast May. George Tatarinow, our Training Systems Principal, was on the exhibition floor talking to customers and prospects about our process consulting and sales recruiting services, as well as our upcoming course offering, E3.

George also managed to avoid both close contact with cartoon characters, power outtages and Lion King soundtrack-induced nausea. But it was touch and go.

Congratulations also go to Robbie C. Banks of Drake International in Toronto, Canada. Robbie was the winner of our Handspring Visor PDA drawing.

9. E3 is Coming! New Course Offering Arrives July 2001.

E3 is an exciting answer to a critical sales recruiting problem.

Our clients have typically fallen into one of two groups. The first group are those who need to create and implement a value-based recruiting practice that is more responsive to the specific needs of the sales practice than a traditional recruiting organization.

The second group has the fishing process pretty much down, but is losing a lot of candidates off the hook. For them, we've designed E3.

The Es stand for "Evaluate," "Elevate," and "Execute." The course is an intensive workshop on maximizing the value of your sales opportunities to talented candidates, managing the job negotiating process from first contact through years of employment with your company, and driving your recruiters' close ratios through the roof.

We're launching E3 this July. Stay tuned for updates.
