How it started vs. how it's going: meet Mark, our longest-serving team member 👏 In 16 years (and 8 months, to be exact) Mark has seen a lot of change at TAG—including being around long before we even *were* 'TAG'. He used his skills in many areas of the business before eventually landing in the Office of the CTO: "I was never interested in moving into management, so my progression has been through all different areas of the company instead. When I started, we were so small that everyone mucked in on whatever needed doing—I've worked on all kinds of things that were once out of my comfort zone. Consultancy, sales, marketing, documentation, preparing RFPs, system admin, everything! In my time at TAG, I've not only developed in my career, but also raised two kids, and I can confidently say that working here offers freedom and flexibility that is second to none." Cheers to 16 years (and we hope many more), Mark! 🎉 #TheAdaptavistGroup #HowItStarted #HowItsGoing

Day 1 at RecFest USA has been amazing and as I sit eating a quick lunch I wanted to remind you of a few things: 1. Find the flow between your assignment and the moment! Meaning, it’s great to be about your “work”, but don’t be so much about it that you miss out on the moment. 2. There is something special about being around people that speak the “same” language as you! Meaning, get out and go to your industry events. It’s a perfect opportunity to have the conversations with others that just get “it”. 3. There is nothing wrong with sharpening your skill set! As someone who is always pouring into other folks, I am finding it super refreshing to be the one being poured into! 4. Give yourself space and grace! Meaning, especially with events like these it’s easy to be overstimulated and overwhelmed (especially if you’re introverted like me) So, give yourself permission to step away, recharge, and get back in it, or not! 5. Don’t be afraid to speak about how DOPE you are! Listen, if you don’t speak on you, who will? It’s ok to talk about how amazing you are and how things, people, and places are better because you are there. That’s all I got for now, I’ll check back in with more reflections later. Until then, which of these hits home for you? #humanresources #talentacquisition #professionaldevelopment

Unforgettable. That’s how I describe last week at Antler. It was a relentless pursuit of excellence, a rally of minds pushing boundaries and a camaraderie that left an indelible mark. No, this wasn't your run-of-the-mill workweek. It wasn't just about crunching numbers and scoring sales. This was about shared laughter echoing through our halls, brainstorming sessions that lit the fuse of innovation, and the collective strength behind each victory. That's salesMind, redefined forever. See, journeys aren't a mere point A to B travel. They’re a rollercoaster of surprises, mind-blowing discoveries, and unforgettable lessons that linger. The destination? It’s just a bonus. The magic - it's in the journey. Are you poised on the edge of a new chapter? Ready to shatter the mold? Let's connect. Let's stir the status quo into an awe-inspiring revolution – together!

What’s the secret to getting the best performance from your team? It comes from your old fair / picnic days: the three-legged race. You remember how it works- you pair people together and then can’t move forward without each other. It’s funny. It’s silly. But in business, it works. Why? Because you get the individual benefits from each team member in your pairing. But you also moderate the downsides that each one brings. The extreme edges disappear and you end up with not just more results but better results. At MotivationCode, we understand that some pairings don’t work well. That’s why we created our premium report to highlight which pairs are best and which you should watch out for. #TeamPerformance #MotivationCode #BusinessSuccess

“12 out of 13 teams were complaining about this work, but you? You got into it and you nailed it.” 💪 We all encounter tough tasks—whether they’re tricky, unpopular, tedious, or downright complex. 🤯 Wouldn’t it be refreshing to have someone step up and tackle them for you, ensuring they’re not just completed but mastered? That’s where we come in. 🤝 Our partnership with Y Soft dates back to 2019, and it has been nothing short of remarkable. Currently, 35 Artinians are allocated to Y Soft’s projects, seamlessly working side by side with their in-house teams. And we’re not just collaborators; we are equals! Our teams handle every task that comes their way, even the most unpopular ones, and deal with them swiftly and expertly. And we are thrilled to hear that our dedication is also acknowledged. So thank you, Martin de Martini, for your supportive words. 🧡 We are looking forward to our continuous cooperation and more joint successes. #EqualPartnership #SoftwareDevelopment #Teamwork

Yesterday, we gathered for our quarterly ALL-HANDS meeting 🚀 Each department took the stage with honesty, sharing not only their triumphs (and memes) but also their struggles from Q3 2024. It was a reminder that we grow not from perfection but from learning and improving. And, with the roadmap for Q4 laid out, we're ready to charge ahead, stronger and wiser. 💪 Here at Staffino, we refuse to fall into the trap of poor communication. We believe in fostering an environment where everyone feels heard and valued. 🗣️ So, why do we swear by these quarterly all-hands meetings? 🤔 1️⃣ Transparency: These meetings provide an open platform for everyone to understand where we stand as a company and where we're heading. No secrets, no whispers – just clear, honest communication. 2️⃣ Unity: When we share our successes and failures, we strengthen our bond as a team. We celebrate together, we learn together, and we grow together. 3️⃣ Empowerment: By involving everyone in our planning process, we ensure that every voice matters. We're not just a company – we're a community where everyone's input is valued and appreciated. Do you have quarterly all-hands meetings in your company? Why/why not? Let us know in the comments below! 👇 #Staffino #AllHands #Transparency #Q4Ready

📚 Sunday BYOBook Club, Vol. 12 📚 ‘The Hero with a Thousand Faces’ by Joseph Campbell is most famous for its monomyth theory and the subsequent hero’s journey. This structure can be seen across all cultures and narratives. To the point, where skipping or missing essential elements of that journey can lead to disjunctive delivery, failed job interviews, or poor rotten tomatoes ratings. The book presents a broad cross-cultural analysis while attempting to identify recurring motifs that suggest a deeper, universal human experience. So how is this relevant to interpreting? The career as a whole, along with each distinct assignment, follows the same structure. 1️⃣ Call to adventure. Everyone has their reasons for choosing interpretation as a profession: some follow in their parents’ footsteps, others possess all the right ingredients from the start, and some just like to fight against the odds. 2️⃣ Finding a Mentor. This could be in the form of a great teacher from a prestigious university or insights from a book written to whom it may concern. 3️⃣ Challenges. Studying, preparing for an exam, or mastering a new concept. 4️⃣ ‘Death and Rebirth’. A transformative event that can happen at any point: this could be during an accreditation exam, first booth experience, or even 20-30 years into a career. 5️⃣ Reward. We all have our values but usually, it’s in the form of satisfaction from making a difference in this world and some monetary remuneration so that we can concentrate on professional development. 6️⃣ Return. In the end, it’s not uncommon to become someone else’s mentor to perpetuate the cycle. But the journey can also be seen at a smaller level when preparing for a specific assignment. We still pass through all those stages. 1️⃣ Call to adventure (a vacancy, e-mail, or LinkedIn DMs with a new project) 2️⃣ Mentors (books and all sorts of materials that help us prepare) 3️⃣ Challenges to overcome (research and continuous education seminars) 4️⃣ Mini ‘Death and Rebirth’ events when a new concept finally clicks or learning from a non-lethal mistake on the go 5️⃣ Reward for our effort 6️⃣ Return to square 1 with more experience and ready to go on another adventure, online or offline. #BYOBook
