ENW Editor — Thu, 30 May 2013 07:38:56 +0000

The area of nonprofit organizations (NPOs) is currently undergoing a process of transformation in terms of professionalism. Swiss studies to date have failed to consider the extent to which this professionalization is having an impact on the recruitment processes and talent management of NPOs. In order to fill this gap and obtain a better insight into the implications of this transformation on the HR management of NPOs, the executive search company Stanton Chase International (Schweiz) AG carried out a qualitative study. This study involved surveying 19 HR managers from national and international NPOs, and focused particularly on the profiles of NPO employees and competencies that have been lacking so far, as well as on the recruitment process and talent retention.

If 2011 was a year that saw the UAE’s jobs market stabilise after a recessionary couple of years, experts expect 2012 to be the year the country sees biggest job growth in the region.

First and foremost, jobseekers in the UAE can look at the public sector for good opportunities in 2012 as it is expected to lead job growth in the country.

Industries that are expected to drive job creation are technology, healthcare, education, retail and telecom, according to recruitment experts in the country.

“The governmental and semi-governmental sectors will lead the way, because of the increased spending by the governments of each country, in order to keep a high growth rate, support nationalization and develop the infrastructure of the country,” Konstantina Sakellariou, Partner, Marketing & Operations Director at Stanton Chase told Emirates 24|7.

Stanton Chase International collaborates with the students at Hult’s Dubai campus offering them the chance to gain valuable hands-on business experience

Stanton Chase International, along with several Fortune 500 firms, will be setting Hult International Business School students specific ‘challenges’ that help to foster important skills such as identifying growth opportunities in emerging markets, and creating innovative business models that are fit for the future.

Hult’s partnership with these world-leading companies is an important aspect of its unique series of Action Projects, which put an emphasis on learning outside of the classroom. Through Learning, Experience and Action Projects (also known as Hult’s LEAP method), students are able to apply skills they learn in the classroom to everyday business issues, emerging from their studies as dynamic and work-ready job candidates.

Welcoming the launch of the new student challenges, Nick van der Walt , Dean of Hult’s Dubai campus, said: ‘We know how important practical work experience is to recruiters. That’s why we’re delighted that our Action Projects are now giving students an opportunity to work with some of the biggest companies out there.’

Dr Panos Manolopoulos, Global Vice Chairman Regions of Stanton Chase International said: “In our industry we deal with human talent. Collaborating with young people that approach this immense field with a business focus, a clear mind avoiding preconceptions, prejudices and the fatigue of the daily repetition of old practices, allows us not only to explore some exciting new concepts, but, above all, to add in our industry new perspectives .”

Hult students are set the real puzzle of developing breakthrough innovations in the executive search and leadership consultancy markets, identifying new approaches in dealing with the constantly changing needs of human capital (from the companies’ perspective and from the people’s perspective), generating new revenue opportunities for growth.

Other companies setting challenges for students include P&G – a global consumer products conglomerate – and 3M, a leading diversified technology company. A total of 17 global companies have joined Hult’s Action Projects this year.
