Following a hiring guide for an executive assistant can help identify candidates who excel in communication and can represent the executive professionally.

3. Task and Project Management

Beyond administrative duties, executive assistants often manage specific tasks or projects. Whether it's coordinating travel arrangements, preparing reports or overseeing special projects, they ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Ex-Meta employee Madelyn Machado recently posted a TikTok video claiming that she was getting paid $190,000 a year to do nothing. Another Meta employee, also on TikTok, posted that “Meta was hiring people so that other companies couldn’t have us, and then they were just kind of like hoarding us like Pokémon cards.” Over at Google, a company known to have pioneered the modern tech workplace, one designer complained of spending 40 percent of their time on “the inefficien[cy] overhead of simply working at Google.” Some report spending all day on tasks as simple as changing the color of a website button. Working the bare minimum while waiting for stock to vest is so common that Googlers call it “resting and vesting.” ​ In an anonymous online poll on how many “focused hours of work” software engineers put in each day, 71 percent of the over four thousand respondents claimed to work six hours a day or less, while 12 percent said they did between one and two hours a day. During the acute phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, it became common for tech workers to capitalize on all this free time by juggling multiple full-time remote jobs. According to the Wall Street Journal, many workers who balance two jobs do not even hit a regular forty-hour workload for both jobs combined. One software engineer reported logging between three and ten hours of actual work per week when working one job, with the rest of his time spent on pointless meetings and pretending to be busy. My own experience supports this trend: toward the end of my five-year tenure as a software engineer for Microsoft, I was working fewer than three hours a day. And of what little code I produced for them, none of it made any real impact on Microsoft’s bottom line—or the world at large. For much of this century, optimism that technology would make the world a better place fueled the perception that Silicon Valley was the moral alternative to an extractive Wall Street—that it was possible to make money, not at the expense of society but in service of it. In other words, many who joined the industry did so precisely because they thought that their work would be useful. Yet what we’re now seeing is a lot of bullshit. If capitalism is supposed to be efficient and, guided by the invisible hand of the market, eliminate inefficiencies, how is it that the tech industry, the purported cradle of innovation, has become a redoubt of waste and unproductivity?

KnowBe4, a US-based security vendor, revealed that it unwittingly hired a North Korean hacker who attempted to load malware into the company's network. KnowBe4 CEO and founder Stu Sjouwerman described the incident in a blog post this week, calling it a cautionary tale that was fortunately detected before causing any major problems.

"First of all: No illegal access was gained, and no data was lost, compromised, or exfiltrated on any KnowBe4 systems," Sjouwerman wrote. “This is not a data breach notification, there was none. See it as an organizational learning moment I am sharing with you. If it can happen to us, it can happen to almost anyone. Don't let it happen to you.”

KnowBe4 said it was looking for a software engineer for its internal IT AI team. The firm hired a person who, it turns out, was from North Korea and was "using a valid but stolen US-based identity" and a photo that was "enhanced" by artificial intelligence. There is now an active FBI investigation amid suspicion that the worker is what KnowBe4's blog post called "an Insider Threat/Nation State Actor."

KnowBe4 operates in 11 countries and is headquartered in Florida. It provides security awareness training, including phishing security tests, to corporate customers. If you occasionally receive a fake phishing email from your employer, you might be working for a company that uses the KnowBe4 service to test its employees' ability to spot scams.

Person Passed Background Check and Video Interviews

KnowBe4 hired the North Korean hacker through its usual process. "We posted the job, received résumés, conducted interviews, performed background checks, verified references, and hired the person. We sent them their Mac workstation, and the moment it was received, it immediately started to load malware," the company said.

Even though the photo provided to HR was fake, the person who was interviewed for the job apparently looked enough like it to pass. KnowBe4's HR team "conducted four video conference based interviews on separate occasions, confirming the individual matched the photo provided on their application," the post said. "Additionally, a background check and all other standard pre-hiring checks were performed and came back clear due to the stolen identity being used. This was a real person using a valid but stolen US-based identity. The picture was AI 'enhanced.'"

The two images at the top of this story are a stock photo and what KnowBe4 says is the AI fake based on the stock photo. The stock photo is on the left, and the AI fake is on the right.

The employee, referred to as "XXXX" in the blog post, was hired as a principal software engineer. The new hire's suspicious activities were flagged by security software, leading KnowBe4's Security Operations Center (SOC) to investigate:

On July 15, 2024, a series of suspicious activities were detected on the user beginning at 9:55 pm EST. When these alerts came in KnowBe4's SOC team reached out to the user to inquire about the anomalous activity and possible cause. XXXX responded to SOC that he was following steps on his router guide to troubleshoot a speed issue and that it may have caused a compromise. The attacker performed various actions to manipulate session history files, transfer potentially harmful files, and execute unauthorized software. He used a Raspberry Pi to download the malware. SOC attempted to get more details from XXXX including getting him on a call. XXXX stated he was unavailable for a call and later became unresponsive. At around 10:20 pm EST SOC contained XXXX's device.

“Fake IT Worker From North Korea”

The SOC analysis indicated that the loading of malware "may have been intentional by the user," and the group "suspected he may be an Insider Threat/Nation State Actor," the blog post said.

"We shared the collected data with our friends at Mandiant, a leading global cybersecurity expert, and the FBI, to corroborate our initial findings. It turns out this was a fake IT worker from North Korea," Sjouwerman wrote.

KnowBe4 said it can't provide much detail because of the active FBI investigation. But the person hired for the job may have logged into the company computer remotely from North Korea, Sjouwerman explained:

How this works is that the fake worker asks to get their workstation sent to an address that is basically an "IT mule laptop farm." They then VPN in from where they really physically are (North Korea or over the border in China) and work the night shift so that they seem to be working in US daytime. The scam is that they are actually doing the work, getting paid well, and give a large amount to North Korea to fund their illegal programs. I don't have to tell you about the severe risk of this. It's good we have new employees in a highly restricted area when they start, and have no access to production systems. Our controls caught it, but that was sure a learning moment that I am happy to share with everyone.

[fieldbears]

Hi! Thank you for doing this AMA! How did you get started in on your career path? I feel like I keep hearing either "know somebody who has faith in your ability to write technical documents" or "write technical documents for fun" both of which I'm not certain how to start.

Great question! In grade school, my friends and I were little nerds who wrote and traded stories with one another. We were giving honest feedback, learning, writing more, rinse and repeat. A couple of summers, we took writing workshop classes. We learned the general style of workshop critiquing. Being able to deliver and receive criticism is a valuable life and career skill.

Fast forward, I went to college, majored in English with an informal focus on modern literature, and took more creative writing classes! Having been in a workshop environment as a kid REALLY helped prepare me for the ones in college. Not everyone in those classes knew how to receive even very gentle criticism. Learning how to re-calibrate for them was its own learning experience. Another skill!

Fast forward again and I'm in the job market. I thankfully had a friend whose company was hiring, and that started my personal ball rolling. I got in through a friend, yes, but my career advances have been because I'm incredible. :)

But don't get it twisted. Most of the stuff in my background was completely unnecessary to getting an entry-level position. They helped me keep the job, and get more jobs, and get promotions, but nobody is expecting all that workshop experience. If you have average or higher people skills, you can teach yourself how to gently deliver the news that someone is functionally illiterate and you need to fix their work.

What you should have: a 4-year degree majoring in English, a relevant STEM field, or Communications, in that order. You should be ready to clean up a "test" document as part of your interview. You should probably pay close attention to the job description you're applying for, because 'technical documentation' is a really broad field and you need to be able to prove you're ready for whatever flavor they're asking for. Are you writing instructions (how to operate a device)? Processes (how to onboard an employee)? How much of your job will be interviews with SMEs (Subject Matter Experts)? Are you writing a new document at all or updating something that's outdated or untested? You can do some light testing of software, right?

If the interviewers are smart, they will ask you your plan when you're asked to make a new document. Have an answer ready. The information I always want first is: who is this for? Let's say it's an internal guide for some software your company uses. Is everyone on the project an engineer who's very familiar with computers? Or, is it a more generic office, where a 64-year old named Eustace will need very clear instructions on where the start button is? That information is a starting point for figuring out what your document should be.

So tl;dr: 1) Have a relevant degree. 2) Know the specifics of the position. 3) Be ready to walk interviewers through the steps you'd start taking to make a requested document.

Hope this helps <3

Recover Stolen Crypto

Cryptocurrency has revolutionized the way we transact, offering decentralized and secure solutions for the modern economy. But with these benefits come risks, including the possibility of theft. Crypto theft can be devastating, leaving victims feeling powerless due to the anonymity of blockchain transactions. However, while challenging, recovering stolen crypto isn’t impossible. This guide will walk you through the steps to maximize your chances of retrieving lost funds and fortify your crypto security. Recover stolen crypto

Understanding How Crypto Theft Happens

Phishing Attacks

Phishing involves tricking users into revealing sensitive information such as private keys or wallet passwords. Scammers often impersonate legitimate platforms via fake websites or emails designed to look authentic. Once you input your details, they gain access to your wallet.

Hacking of Wallets and Exchanges

Crypto wallets and exchanges are prime targets for hackers. Weak security protocols, vulnerabilities in the platform, or user negligence can lead to unauthorized access and fund transfers.

Social Engineering Scams

These scams prey on human psychology. For instance, scammers may pose as trusted individuals or companies, convincing victims to transfer funds or disclose sensitive information.

Malware and Keyloggers

Cybercriminals use malware or keyloggers to monitor user activity. When you type your wallet credentials, the software captures and transmits the data to the attacker.

Immediate Steps to Take After Crypto Theft

Stay Calm and Act Quickly

Panic can lead to poor decisions. Assess the situation logically and act swiftly to prevent further losses.

Identify the Theft Details

Review your transaction history to determine when and how the theft occurred. Note the wallet addresses involved, the amount stolen, and the transaction ID.

Secure Remaining Funds

Transfer your remaining funds to a secure wallet. Hardware wallets or cold storage solutions are preferable as they are offline and immune to hacking.

Contacting Relevant Authorities

Reporting to Local Law Enforcement

File a report with your local authorities. While they may lack blockchain expertise, having an official record can support further recovery efforts.

Involving Cybercrime Units

Specialized cybercrime divisions can investigate the theft and collaborate with international organizations if needed.

Engaging Regulators Like SEC

In cases involving fraudulent investments, report the incident to regulatory bodies like the SEC or FCA to initiate investigations.

Notifying Crypto Platforms and Wallet Providers

How Exchanges Can Assist

Notify the exchange where the stolen funds were transacted. They may freeze suspicious accounts or provide information to investigators.

The Role of Wallet Providers

Wallet providers might help in identifying security vulnerabilities or advising on recovery steps.

Sharing Transaction Details

Provide all relevant details, including the transaction hash, wallet addresses, and any communication with the scammer.

Utilizing Blockchain Analysis Tools

How Blockchain Transparency Aids Recovery

Blockchain’s immutable ledger allows you to trace fund movements. With the right tools, you can monitor the thief’s wallet and subsequent transfers.

Popular Blockchain Analysis Tools

Platforms like Chainalysis, CipherTrace, and Elliptic specialize in tracking stolen cryptocurrency and identifying patterns.

Tracking Stolen Funds

Collaborate with professionals who use these tools to increase your chances of recovering the funds.

Hiring a Cryptocurrency Recovery Expert

Benefits of Professional Help

Experts have the technical knowledge and resources to trace transactions, liaise with platforms, and initiate recovery processes.

Vetting Recovery Agencies for Legitimacy

Ensure the agency has a proven track record. Beware of additional scams that exploit victims seeking help.

Avoiding Additional Scams

Never pay upfront fees without verifying the agency’s legitimacy. Genuine recovery services operate transparently.

Using Social Media and Community Networks

Engaging the Crypto Community

Post about your stolen crypto on forums, Reddit, or Twitter. The community often shares valuable insights or connects you with experts.

Raising Awareness About Stolen Funds

Highlighting the theft publicly can deter thieves from cashing out and put pressure on platforms to assist.

Success Stories

Many individuals have successfully recovered their stolen crypto by rallying community support and leveraging online networks.

Legal Options for Recovering Stolen Crypto

Filing Lawsuits

If you have enough evidence to identify the thief, you may file a lawsuit. Courts can issue orders to freeze assets or compel exchanges to provide information about suspicious accounts.

International Legal Frameworks

Cryptocurrency theft often crosses borders, making it necessary to engage international legal frameworks like the Hague Convention. Collaborating with global enforcement agencies can enhance recovery efforts.

Challenges with Jurisdiction

Jurisdictional issues complicate legal proceedings. Many crypto criminals operate in countries with lax regulations, making prosecution and recovery harder.

Preventative Measures to Protect Cryptocurrency

Using Hardware Wallets

Hardware wallets store private keys offline, making them virtually immune to hacking. They are the gold standard for crypto security and should be your primary storage method for large holdings.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA adds an additional layer of security to your crypto accounts by requiring a second verification step. Always enable it, preferably using an authenticator app rather than SMS.

Avoiding Suspicious Links and Emails

Phishing scams often start with an innocent-looking link or email. Be cautious and double-check URLs before entering sensitive information. Bookmark trusted platforms to avoid accidental clicks on fake sites.

Educating Yourself on Crypto Scams

Recognizing Common Scam Patterns

From Ponzi schemes to fake giveaways, crypto scams come in many forms. Stay informed about the latest trends and tactics used by scammers.

Staying Updated with News and Security Tips

Follow trusted crypto news outlets and cybersecurity blogs. Awareness is your best defense against evolving threats in the crypto space.

Building a Secure Crypto Environment

Regular Wallet Audits

Periodically review your wallet and transaction history to identify unauthorized activity early. This practice can prevent small breaches from escalating into significant losses.

Diversifying Storage Solutions

Spread your funds across multiple wallets. Use a combination of hardware wallets, paper wallets, and software wallets for added security.

Investing in Cybersecurity Tools

Firewalls, antivirus software, and VPNs can protect you from malware and other digital threats. These tools are essential for safe crypto trading and storage.

Understanding the Limits of Recovery

Why Crypto Recovery Isn’t Guaranteed

The decentralized and pseudonymous nature of blockchain technology makes fund recovery difficult. Once funds are transferred to a thief’s wallet, reversing the transaction is nearly impossible without their cooperation.

Managing Expectations

While recovery efforts are worth pursuing, it’s essential to prepare for the possibility that your funds may not be recovered. Focus on improving your security to prevent future losses.

The Role of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) in Crypto Security

How DeFi Protocols Enhance Transparency

DeFi platforms operate on smart contracts, which are transparent and immutable. This openness can help in tracking fraudulent activity and ensuring secure transactions.

Risks Associated with DeFi Platforms

Despite their benefits, DeFi platforms are not immune to vulnerabilities. Exploits in smart contracts and lack of insurance can lead to significant losses.

Recovering stolen cryptocurrency is no easy feat, but it’s not entirely hopeless either. By taking immediate action, leveraging blockchain tools, and engaging with experts, you can increase your chances of recovering your funds. Most importantly, prioritize prevention by adopting stringent security measures. Remember, in the world of cryptocurrency, staying one step ahead of scammers is your best protection.

While remote work has increased access to job opportunities, it has also intensified competition, as companies can now hire from a global talent pool.

Section 2: Choosing the Right Keywords for Your IT Resume

Keyword Optimization: Why It Matters

With more employers using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen resumes, it’s essential for jobseekers to optimize their resumes with relevant keywords.

These systems scan resumes for specific words related to the job description and only advance the most relevant applications.

To increase the chances of your resume making it through the initial screening, jobseekers must identify and incorporate the right keywords into their resumes.

When searching for jobs in IT, it’s important to tailor your resume for specific job titles and responsibilities. Keywords like “software engineer,” “cloud computing,” “data security,” and “DevOps” can make a huge difference.

By strategically using keywords that reflect your skills, experience, and the job requirements, you enhance your resume’s visibility to hiring managers and recruitment software.

Step-by-Step Keyword Selection Process

Analyze Job Descriptions: Look at several job postings for roles you’re interested in and identify recurring terms.

Incorporate Specific Terms: Include technical terms related to your field (e.g., Python, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure).

Use Action Verbs: Keywords like “developed,” “designed,” or “implemented” help demonstrate your experience in a tangible way.

Test Your Resume: Use online tools to see how well your resume aligns with specific job postings and make adjustments as necessary.

Section 3: Customizing Your Resume for Each Job Application

Why Customization is Key

One size does not fit all when it comes to resumes, especially in the IT industry. Jobseekers who customize their resumes for each job application are more likely to catch the attention of recruiters. Tailoring your resume allows you to emphasize the specific skills and experiences that align with the job description, making you a stronger candidate. Employers want to see that you’ve taken the time to understand their needs and that your expertise matches what they are looking for.

Key Areas to Customize:

Summary Section: Write a targeted summary that highlights your qualifications and goals in relation to the specific job you’re applying for.

Skills Section: Highlight the most relevant skills for the position, paying close attention to the technical requirements listed in the job posting.

Experience Section: Adjust your work experience descriptions to emphasize the accomplishments and projects that are most relevant to the job.

Education & Certifications: If certain qualifications or certifications are required, make sure they are easy to spot on your resume.

Section 4: Reviewing and Testing Your Optimized Resume

Proofreading for Perfection

Before submitting your resume, it’s critical to review it for accuracy, clarity, and relevance. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, or outdated information can reflect poorly on your professionalism.

Additionally, make sure your resume is easy to read and visually organized, with clear headings and bullet points. If possible, ask a peer or mentor in the IT field to review your resume for content accuracy and feedback.

Testing Your Resume with ATS Tools

After making your resume keyword-optimized, test it using online tools that simulate ATS systems. This allows you to see how well your resume aligns with specific job descriptions and identify areas for improvement.

Many tools will give you a match score, showing you how likely your resume is to pass an ATS scan. From here, you can fine-tune your resume to increase its chances of making it to the recruiter’s desk.

Section 5: Trends Shaping the Future of IT Recruitment

Embracing Digital Recruitment

Recruiting has undergone a significant shift towards digital platforms, with job fairs, interviews, and onboarding now frequently taking place online.

This transition means that jobseekers must be comfortable navigating virtual job fairs, remote interviews, and online assessments.

As IT jobs increasingly allow remote work, companies are also using technology-driven recruitment tools like AI for screening candidates.

Jobseekers should also leverage platforms like LinkedIn to increase visibility in the recruitment space. Keeping your LinkedIn profile updated, networking with industry professionals, and engaging in online discussions can all boost your chances of being noticed by recruiters.

Furthermore, participating in virtual job fairs or IT recruitment events provides direct access to recruiters and HR professionals, enhancing your job hunt.

FAQs

1. How important are keywords in IT resumes?

Keywords are essential in IT resumes because they ensure your resume passes through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), which scans resumes for specific terms related to the job. Without the right keywords, your resume may not reach a human recruiter.

2. How often should I update my resume?

It’s a good idea to update your resume regularly, especially when you gain new skills or experience. Also, customize it for every job application to ensure it aligns with the job’s specific requirements.

3. What are the most in-demand IT jobs?

Some of the most in-demand IT jobs include software developers, cloud engineers, cybersecurity analysts, data scientists, and DevOps engineers.

4. How can I stand out in the current IT job market?

To stand out, jobseekers should focus on tailoring their resumes, building strong online profiles, networking, and keeping up-to-date with industry trends. Participation in online forums, attending webinars, and earning industry-relevant certifications can also enhance visibility.

Conclusion

The IT job market continues to offer exciting opportunities for jobseekers, driven by technological innovations and changing work patterns.

By staying informed about current trends, customizing your resume, using keywords effectively, and testing your optimized resume, you can improve your job search success.

Whether you are new to the IT field or an experienced professional, leveraging these strategies will help you navigate the competitive landscape and secure a job that aligns with your career goals.

The woman responsible for the moon landing

#10 in Physics and Astronomy, 11/11/2023

Pictured is Margaret Hamilton, posing next to the code that she and her team wrote to guide Apollo 11 to the moon! As the lead computer scientist on the Apollo program, her skills saved the otherwise doomed mission not long before it was destined to end.

Enthusiastic about maths from a tender age, Margaret became an expert in writing software following her time at university. Later on, she took a job at MIT, learning to write software that could predict the weather. 

In the mid-1960s, MIT announced they were looking for programmers to send men to the moon. Immediately, she knew this was for her, casting aside her original plan to attend graduate school for a degree in abstract maths to pursue the space program. Shortly, she became the first programmer hired for this project.

One amusing story about her time working on this is the time she took her daughter into the lab. As a working mother, it was necessary. One day, her daughter pushed a button, causing the system to crash. She quickly realised the astronauts could make this mistake, too, so she recommended adjusting the software. This was cast aside with a callous response: “Astronauts are trained never to make a mistake.”

On the 20th of July 1969, three minutes before the planned landing, data from a radar system overwhelmed the computer; this had accidentally been triggered by the crew. This was the exact mistake Hamilton’s daughter had made. Within hours, this was corrected, however, if it wasn’t for Hamilton’s skilful programming, the computer would not have recognised that error in the first place. 

In 2016, the 80-year-old Margaret received the President Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama. During the presentation, he stated, “Our astronauts didn’t have much time, but thankfully they had Margaret Hamilton.”

You may have wondered where the term ‘software engineering’ came from. Being a young, curious student, I wondered what drew the line between simple, creative hobbies, and real-time problem-solving. Margaret Hamilton, it appears, is one of the people who helped  paint this distinction. 

She called her work “software engineering.” And for this, she was criticised. However, retrospectively, no one laughs anymore. The importance of programming, more specifically her work, is recognised properly now.

The Practical Guide to IT Outsourcing: How it Advances Startups and Big Businesses

Let’s face it. No one wants to juggle code when they should be building a company.

The constant need to innovate while keeping costs in check. Whether you’re a scrappy startup or a well-oiled enterprise, IT outsourcing isn’t just a lifeline—it’s a secret weapon. And with the rise of specialized firms offering everything from cloud solutions to dedicated development teams, it’s easier than ever to tap into global talent without much trouble. Whether you're a fast-growing startup racing the clock to market or a large enterprise balancing budgets, compliance, and customers, outsourcing IT isn't just a cost-saving tactic anymore. It's a growth strategy. A smart one.

Outsourcing isn’t just about cutting costs. It’s about agility, knowledge, and focused attention. Startups, drowning in a sea of to-dos, can’t afford to create everything internally. And in the case of large enterprises, they're often weighed down by legacy systems and bureaucratic inertia. Outsourcing bridges these gaps and allows startups to focus on their core competencies and innovate faster, while large enterprises can modernize their systems and processes without the burden of in-house development. In today's fast-paced business environment, outsourcing IT is not just a strategic advantage but a necessity for sustainable growth and success.

And when you work with the right outsourcing partner; one that quietly powers backend infrastructure or builds cloud-native apps for global clients; you're not just outsourcing. You're investing in momentum.

Startups: When Speed Is Your Superpower

Startups develop on speed, but speed can be a double-edged sword. Too fast, and you risk breaking under pressure. You'll be outpaced if you move too slowly. So how do you maintain speed without hitting the burnout wall?

This is where outsourcing IT comes into play. Startups get:

Fast turnarounds: When time to market is everything, having skilled and qualified developers on call means you skip the hiring marathon. With 1.2 million software engineering jobs going unfilled in the U.S. by 2026, waiting to hire in-house is a luxury startups don’t have. Outsourcing taps into global talent instantly.

Plug-and-play scalability: Scale up or down without playing cat-and-mouse games with the internal team. You don’t have to pay for salaries, benefits, office space, or fancy equipment. Some studies even suggest you could save up to 70%!

Access to real talent: Niche expertise is just a contract away. Reputable outsourcing providers offer vetted, experienced, and skilled developers trained in technologies that actually matter—from PHP and Python to Flutter and ReactJS.

Honestly, for startups, outsourcing isn’t optional—it’s essential for survival.

Established Enterprises: Stay Nimble

If you’re running a large business, you’re probably already facing complex challenges like legacy issues, innovation fatigue, bloated budgets, compliance headaches, and the dreaded “we’ve always done it this way” mindset.

Adding internal developers for every new project? It gets expensive. Very fast. Outsourcing can help you:

Slash operational costs: No need for added office space, equipment, or administration expenses. Outsourcing lets you switch to more flexible, usage-based pricing.

Mitigate risks: Reputable vendors don’t just code; their workflows are built around risk management, compliance, and QA. Outsourcing providers often have efficient processes in place that reduce downtime and increase productivity.

Stay competitive: With scalable solutions and on-demand cloud infrastructure management, you adapt faster than the market shifts. Companies like CODEPOINT Softwares offer expert teams that help enterprises keep pace with tech advancements.

Let’s say you want to launch a custom CRM or upgrade your entire backend. Hiring an in-house team could take months. But if you outsource it, that decision alone makes the job half done.

But Wait, Is Outsourcing All Sunshine and Rainbows?

Not exactly. There are some legitimate concerns to keep in mind with outsourcing:

Communication hiccups: Time zones, language barriers, and many other factors can make communication tricky. But regular updates and clear documentation keep everyone aligned.

Hidden costs: Sometimes the external outsourcing partner might surprise you with hidden charges. Always look for providers with a transparent record.

Loss of control: When you're handing over sensitive company data, choose a trustworthy vendor with strong security measures to ensure protection and control.

But you know what? These are avoidable. With transparent reporting, secured partnerships, and regular updates through platforms like Skype or email, experienced outsourcing firms handle all the scary bits for you. You stay in the loop. Your project stays on track.

What to Look For When Outsourcing

Not all outsourcing partners are created equal. So, how do you pick the right outsourcing company? Here are a few tips:

Define Your Needs: Are you building an app or migrating to the cloud? Be specific about what you need help with.

Do Your Homework: Check case studies, read testimonials, and verify that the vendor has the technical expertise you need.

Test the Waters: Start with a small project to gauge performance before committing to a larger engagement.

Always try to leverage time zone advantages, cost efficiency, and the brilliant minds who can navigate you through troubled waters.

It’s Not Outsourcing. It’s Outsmarting.

Outsourcing is no longer a Plan B. It’s a strategic way to do more, faster, and smarter. IT outsourcing is a powerful tool. It can help startups grow faster, and it can help established enterprises stay efficient and competitive.

Whether you’re a startup racing against the clock or an enterprise streamlining ops, the right partner offers the blend of skill and flexibility that’s hard to find in-house.

Great outsourcing partners are already building things that work. Maybe it’s time you let them build something for you, too.

How Erode’s Best Bank Job Consultancy Is Helping Freshers Get Hired Fast?

In today’s fast-paced job market, fresh graduates are often left wondering how to turn their degrees into real employment opportunities. Many spend months, even years, preparing for competitive exams, facing repeated failures and growing uncertainty. But in Erode, a growing number of freshers are discovering a faster, smarter route into banking careers — thanks to the rise of dedicated Bank Job Consultancy Erode services.

Erode, a city known for its educational growth and industrial strength, is now becoming a hub for private banking opportunities. And the driving force behind this shift is the support offered by expert bank job consultancies that guide, train, and place job seekers directly into reputed private banks.

Let’s explore how the best bank job consultancy in Erode is helping hundreds of freshers land their dream jobs without the stress of long exam processes.

Why Freshers Are Choosing Private Banking Careers

Private banks in India are expanding rapidly, especially in Tier 2 cities like Erode. With increasing demand for services like digital banking, personal loans, and customer relationship management, these banks are on the lookout for fresh, trainable talent.

Unlike public sector banks, private banks don’t rely solely on competitive exams for hiring. Instead, they value communication skills, confidence, and customer-centric thinking. This opens up a big opportunity for graduates who are job-ready but unsure where to start.

That’s where a professional Bank Job Consultancy Erode comes in.

The Role of a Bank Job Consultancy in Erode

Their goal isn’t just to get you placed but to prepare you fully for the role you’re about to take on. Here’s what makes them so effective:

1. Free Career Counselling

Many students don’t know about the variety of roles available in private banking — such as Customer Relationship Executive, Loan Officer, Teller, or Sales Executive. Consultancies provide clear guidance based on the candidate’s strengths and interests.

2. Job-Oriented Training

A quality Bank Job Consultancy Erode will provide practical training in areas like customer handling, banking software, sales skills, documentation, and communication. This short-term training boosts the candidate's readiness for actual job roles.

3. Resume Building & Interview Preparation

Freshers often struggle with how to present themselves professionally. Consultancies help create powerful resumes and offer mock interviews to improve confidence and performance during real job interviews.

4. Direct Interview Opportunities

This is where consultancies shine — they have direct tie-ups with private banks and financial institutions. Candidates are sent for interviews without having to wait for exam results or lengthy recruitment procedures.

5. Placement Support Until You’re Hired

Top consultancies in Erode don’t give up after one attempt. They support students until they are successfully placed — ensuring they attend multiple interviews if needed and guiding them through the process.

Real Success Stories from Erode

Many young graduates from Erode have already built their careers through these consultancies. Take the story of Ragini, a B.Com graduate who was unsure about her future. She joined a reputed Bank Job Consultancy Erode, received three weeks of training, and was placed as a Relationship Officer at a leading private bank in Coimbatore.

Or Arun, an engineering student who couldn’t clear government bank exams. With the help of the consultancy, he found a job as a Back-End Banking Executive in just one month.

These stories are becoming increasingly common as more students realize the value of professional guidance and fast-track placements.

What to Look for in the Best Bank Job Consultancy in Erode

If you’re considering enrolling in a bank job consultancy, keep the following points in mind:

Proven Track Record: Look for consultancies with genuine success stories and a history of placing candidates in well-known banks.

Skilled Trainers: Make sure the team includes experienced trainers who understand the private banking recruitment process.

Transparent Process: Everything — from training duration to placement timelines — should be clearly explained upfront.

Interview Tie-Ups: The consultancy must have working partnerships with actual private banks to ensure real placement opportunities.

Ongoing Support: Even after placement, a good consultancy should be available for queries or further training if needed.

The Future of Banking Careers in Erode

With the private banking sector on a continuous growth curve and new branches opening across Tamil Nadu, Erode stands to benefit immensely. The local talent pool is strong, and with the support of bank job consultancies, this talent can be efficiently channeled into career-building opportunities.

Today, private banking roles offer more than just salaries — they offer structured growth, on-the-job training, incentive programs, and the chance to climb the ladder quickly. For freshers looking for immediate employment and long-term career potential, it’s the best of both worlds.

Conclusion: Why Bank Zone Is the Best Bank Job Consultancy in Erode

Among all the consultancies in Erode, Bank Zone stands out as the most trusted and results-driven name. With a commitment to helping freshers start their banking careers without delay, Bank Zone offers expert counselling, job-oriented training, and guaranteed interview opportunities with leading private banks.

Their personalized approach, strong placement record, and transparent process have made them the go-to Bank Job Consultancy Erode for hundreds of successful candidates. Bank Zone is the best place to start your journey.

Powering the Modern Workforce: How Contingent Workforce Software and Direct Sourcing Are Redefining Recruitment

In today’s dynamic talent landscape, agility is everything. As organizations respond to shifting market demands, skills gaps, and rapid project cycles, one trend is clear: the rise of the contingent workforce. Whether it's freelancers, contractors, or gig workers, this flexible labor model gives companies the ability to scale quickly without the long-term commitments of traditional hiring.

But managing a diverse and distributed workforce comes with unique challenges—especially when sourcing, onboarding, and compliance processes are handled manually or across multiple systems. This is where contingent workforce software and direct sourcing recruitment play a transformative role.

What Is Contingent Workforce Software?

Contingent workforce software is designed to help organizations efficiently manage non-permanent talent—from sourcing and onboarding to tracking performance and costs. It centralizes workflows, automates compliance, and gives real-time visibility into contractor activity, vendor performance, and workforce spend.

Key capabilities often include:

Assignment and time tracking

Automated onboarding/offboarding

Cost and compliance monitoring

Vendor collaboration

Workforce analytics and forecasting

The result? A more agile, scalable workforce strategy with reduced risk and greater operational control.

The Shift to Direct Sourcing Recruitment

While staffing agencies and third-party vendors still play an important role, many enterprises are now embracing direct sourcing recruitment as a more strategic, cost-effective model.

Direct sourcing involves using your company’s own employer brand, internal talent pools, and technology to identify and engage contingent talent—without relying entirely on external agencies.

Benefits of direct sourcing include:

Lower recruitment costs by reducing agency fees

Faster time-to-hire by tapping into pre-qualified talent

Stronger cultural alignment and candidate experience

Increased visibility and control over the hiring process

When combined with contingent workforce software, direct sourcing becomes a powerful recruitment engine—bringing together automation, branding, and speed.

The Power of Integration

The real magic happens when contingent workforce software and direct sourcing recruitment work together in harmony. Platforms like hireHQ empower HR and procurement teams to manage end-to-end contingent hiring from a single dashboard—sourcing, engaging, onboarding, and managing talent with speed and efficiency.

Imagine this:

Your internal talent community gets activated for a high-priority project.

The platform automatically matches qualified candidates and initiates onboarding.

Contracts are generated, compliance checks are run, and the worker is deployed within days—not weeks.

This seamless workflow allows businesses to scale teams faster, optimize vendor usage, and reduce overall workforce costs.

Final Thoughts

The future of work is fluid, fast, and tech-enabled. To stay competitive, organizations must go beyond traditional hiring models and embrace the power of contingent workforce software and direct sourcing recruitment.

By doing so, businesses not only improve recruitment outcomes but also build a more resilient, flexible workforce—ready to meet whatever comes next.

Tour Guide

Link to this fic on AO3. Words: 2035 Date posted: May 5, 2025 Summary:

“My mane is Horuss—” he starts, and then realizes what he’s said and feels sweat beading up on his brow. “I mean. My name is Horuss Zahhak. I am one of the engineers here.” The woman beams at him with a thousand-megawatt smile that could probably be used to power the entire building. (A thousand megawatts would most likely overwhelm their small town’s power grid.) “Hi, Horuss! My mane is Jade Harley.”

Horuss doesn’t know how he wound up on the welcoming committee.

It’s not that he isn’t a friendly person. At least, he tries to be. People just tend to find him… off-putting, in his experience. He’ll never forget the time one of his classmates in high school had told him he needed to smile more only to immediately take it back when he did. So his boss telling him to give their newest hire a tour of the lab?

Needless to say, he is nervous.

He rocks on his heels as he waits at the door, sweating through an attempt at a smile. He’s never been very good at those, and the longer he tries to force one, the more he worries it’s going to look unnatural. How long do normal people smile?

The woman who finally steps through the door has a sort of frantic energy about her, digging through her purse for something and very nearly bumping straight into him. He manages to throw his hands in front of him to catch her by the shoulders first.

��Oh!” She sounds startled, stumbling back a step to look up at him. For certain values of looking up, anyway. Horuss is used to towering over most people, but this woman is only a couple of inches shorter than he is. “Sorry! I should have been paying more attention!”

He bites back on his immediate urge to agree with her. She should have been paying more attention, but after many years of studying social norms, he has realized this is not a polite thing to say. Instead he says, “Do not worry about it. I am unharmed.” She laughs like he’s said something funny, so he laughs along with her, trying not to cringe at himself. This is already going horribly. “My mane is Horuss—” he starts, and then realizes what he’s said and feels sweat beading up on his brow. “I mean. My name is Horuss Zahhak. I am one of the engineers here.”

The woman beams at him with a thousand-megawatt smile that could probably be used to power the entire building. (A thousand megawatts would most likely overwhelm their small town’s power grid.) “Hi, Horuss! My mane is Jade Harley.”

It takes him a moment to catch what she’s said, and then he forces another chuckle. Is she making fun of him? He can’t tell. “Hello, Dr. Harley. It is nice to meet you.” There’s a pause that he thinks lasts a beat too long, and then he adds, “I am meant to provide you with a tour of the laboratory.”

“Great! I don’t know where anything is, so that would be a huge help!” She’s still smiling at him, so he supposes he hasn’t caused too big a problem yet.

He turns to start walking into the lab proper, and it takes her a moment to start following after him. He was probably supposed to say something to let her know they were starting. He makes a mental note for the future.

“This is where the software engineers work,” Horuss says, gesturing to the only person he would dare to describe as a work friend. Sollux looks up from his work computer impassively and nods. He is the only person who never expects Horuss to smile when he talks. “They are not very helpful when it comes to most problems.”

“Oh, fuck off!” Karkat calls from the back of the room, and Horuss cringes in on himself at the harsh language. Karkat gets vitriolically angry at the slightest provocation. Horuss avoids talking to him as much as possible.

When they’ve shuffled out of the room, Jade says, “Wow, that guy was really rude!”

Horuss blinks at her slowly, but he doesn’t think she can see through his welding goggles, which he is only just realizing he forgot to take off. He must look ridiculous. Hair is starting to stick to his forehead with sweat. “I… suppose he was. I believe there is a rivalry between the software engineers and hardware engineers. That, or they simply do not like me very much.”

Jade laughs again, and Horuss furrows his eyebrows. “You’re a really funny guy!” she says, and it doesn’t sound malicious, but Horuss has never been great at reading tone. He just hums back and keeps walking.

“This hallway corrals one from the software engineering lab to the first section of the hardware engineering lab. That is the welding room, so it is very hot.”

“Got it!” She pauses, and then adds, “Not hot as in contaminated, right?”

Horuss manages a snort. “Funny,” he says, and she raises her eyebrows at him. Oh. Was she not joking? “Er. It is temperately warm in this room.”

“That makes sense,” she says, nodding. When he opens the door, there is a wave of warm air—or at least, he has been told before that there is a wave of warm air when the door is opened. Generally speaking, Horuss has never been great at noticing changes in temperature, other than the fact that he starts sweating significantly more.

Jade pulls a face, subconsciously tucking a curl behind one ear. “Sheesh. And this is in the middle of the building?”

“No. The exact middle of the building is an empty corridor between the cafeteria and HR,” he answers. She laughs again.

“Well, at least you guys probably don’t have to pay very much for heating!”

He pauses for a moment to consider this. “I have never investigated the matter personally.”

There is no one else in the welding room presently. Horuss had been welding before he went to give this tour, hence how he forgot to take off his welding goggles (though, really, he forgets to take them off quite frequently), and he specifically targets times that no one else will be using it. Also, the room is quite small and has poor ventilation, hence why it gets so hot, so it is only suitable for up to four occupants at a time.

He pushes into the next room, which leads to the much larger and slightly more occupied engineering lab. “I am under the impression that you will be working with us here?”

“Kind of! I’m not an engineer, but my research is pretty closely tied to engineering and materials science, so I’ll probably be around the engineering lab a lot and in all sorts of meetings and stuff. Does that mean that you work in here?”

“Yes.”

Jade pauses for a moment, like she expects him to say more, and then pushes forward. “Great! Then I guess I’ll see you around.”

“There is still much of the building to tour,” he says, slightly confused. This sounds like a parting, and he hasn’t fulfilled his duty yet.

“Haha, I just meant like in the future! When I stop in here, I’ll have to make sure to say hi.”

“That would be very distracting.”

Jade laughs. Why is she always laughing? Horuss envies her ability to find joy in everything, a little bit.

The other hardware engineer in the room pauses in his work to look over at them. This is rare. Horuss enjoys the quiet company of Dirk Strider, though he would not really call him a friend. He is not sure they’ve ever spoken. Neither of them are inclined to breaks, though, so the fact that he is pausing his work to look over at them implies to Horuss that they are causing some sort of disturbance.

Dirk sets down the very tiny tool he’s working with, presumably assembling some array of tiny wires in the project he is working on, and approaches them. “This the new girl?” he asks. Horuss nods, and Jade smiles.

“Hi! Jade Harley.” She reaches out a hand, and Dirk stares at it for a moment with raised eyebrows before shaking it. “So you’re one of the engineers in this lab?”

“Pretty much.” Horuss doesn’t really understand how the answer is pretty much instead of yes, and he makes another mental note to ask later.

Dirk and Jade start to strike up a conversation rather easily, and Horuss has to focus on not shrinking in on himself. He has worked with Dirk for multiple years and hasn’t managed to strike a conversation with him, and here Jade is able to do it so easily. It probably helps that she seems to radiate sunshine wherever she goes (in the way that would not cause permanent harmful damage to the epidermis, anyhow), but it’s still off-putting. Horuss has spent his entire life trying so hard to master the delicate art of socialization, and here is a reminder of how easy it is for everyone else in the world.

“Oh, cool! Horuss, you’re into horses too, aren’t you?” Jade looks at him with a grin, and he can’t read the tone behind it. Is she teasing? Is she genuinely inquiring? He feels sweat starting to bead up on his forehead again. He wishes he could get that under control, just like he wishes he could get many things under control.

“I do not believe I mentioned any particular interest in horses.”

Jade’s face seems to fall a little bit. “Oh, sorry. I guess I just assumed from the pun earlier…”

“I do appreciate equine species,” he clarifies, because he thinks that’s why she seems disappointed and he doesn’t like the way she looks when her face is dimming with disappointment. “I simply did not mention it to you. I am told it is rather rude to assume such things about people.” He hopes this explanation is helpful.

Jade doesn’t say anything to that, and she doesn’t brighten to the same degree as before either. Horuss is certain that he’s made a social misstep here. As her conversation with Dirk winds down and they continue the tour, he tries to keep himself only to the facts about the building and the people working inside of it. Well, he was already trying to do that, but he tries twice as hard now. There’s still an uncomfortable sort of crawling sensation under his skin, though.

“I apologize if I said something wrong,” he eventually says, when he can’t handle the discomfort any longer. “Many social norms are not… intuitive to me, so I believed I was being helpful when I pointed out the social convention of asking people about their interests rather than making assumptions. It is becoming apparent to me that I made a miscalculation and have made you uncomfortable. If you could provide specific feedback on how to improve, I promise I will take it to heart for future interactions.”

Jade stares at him for a moment, and he feels himself starting to sweat again, and then she snorts. Oh dear. “Aw, it’s not a big deal! I was a little butthurt about it, but that was kind of me being the bigger jerk there, anyway. I should have paid more attention and realized that you were so uncomfortable!”

Horuss blinks a few times. “You are saying… it was not my fault?”

“Not really! I mean I guess it wasn’t really anybody’s fault? I don’t even know if there is fault! It was a silly little thing, it really doesn’t matter.” Jade smiles at him, and Horuss makes an attempt to smile back, which makes her smile wider. “I’ll tell you what! We should be friends!”

He blinks again. “I’m not sure about that.”

“No, it’ll be great! We can be like lab buddies. I’ll give you my designs and we can talk about horses and stuff.”

Horuss considers this. He does like talking about horses and stuff, and people have been encouraging him to make more friends for a long time. “That could be… nice,” he says slowly.

“Great!” Jade beams that thousand-megawatt smile at him again, and he feels his chest squeeze in a way that is unfamiliar to him, but he thinks it is… nice. Maybe it will be nice having a friend. “So why don’t you show me where this cafeteria you mentioned is? We can have lunch together!”

“My lunch break is not for an hour,” he says. Jade laughs again. He takes his lunch break early.
