Hiring new employees

Posted on by

There are so many aspects that you need to think if you want to hire new employees. You must find the best employee with best skills and they are ready to work at your company and help your company grows better. First thing that you need to consider when hiring new employees is you must know well about the experience of the applicants. If their experience is good and it is suitable with what you need for your company then you can consider these applicants. Second thing that you need to check is the applicants background checks. Checking the criminal background checks is very important because i believe that you do not want to hire people that have criminal history in their life. The third thing that you can do is checking their personalities. To know the applicants personality you can do the psychology test. The result of the psychology test will give you an overview whether their character and personalities are good and suitable for the position you are offering or not.

The forth thing that is also important is about their health. It can be done with asking for a medical check up. With this you can know that the applicants have a fit condition or they are sick and have communicable disease such as sexual disease or HIV. I believe that you do not want to hire people with those communicable disease. After the applicants passed all those checking then the final thing that you can do is negotiating the salary. You can offer how much will their salary be. And if they accept then you can talk about when they can start working at your company. With doing all those checking (criminal background checks, health check and experience check), you will be able to find the best employee with best quality of health, no criminal background and suitable personalities.

Personal loan, when we need it?

It would be great burden for people if they experience a need for money which cannot be ignored. So only the way of borrowing money is available to the people. They can get the money for their needs easily through personal loans depending on how much money they need and how they need it.

The money is available to the borrowers for their needs which may be anything like wedding expenses, educational needs, car purchase, debt consolidation, home improvement, travel expenses, medical expenses, etc. it is up to the borrower as to how he uses the money.

To get the money through these loans, the borrowers first have to decide upon how much amount they need. If the amount required is small, then they may take up the unsecured form of the loans which will not require them to pledge any collateral. The money available through these loans lies in the range of £1000-£25000 for a term of 6months to 10 years for its repayment. Since the borrower does not pledge any collateral, he has to pay a slightly higher rate of interest for the money borrowed to cut down the risk of non-repayment.

If the need of borrowers is bigger, the money can be borrowed through the secured form of these loans. The money is available to them in the range of £5000-£75000 for a term of 5-25 years. For this, the borrowers are required to pledge rate of interest for these loans is lower due to attachment of the loans with collateral. Rate of interest for these loans is lower due to attachment of collateral with the loan deals.

The borrowers can research through the online mode to get lower rates as there are numerous lenders online who are ready to provide lower rates due to competition. Bad credit borrowers can also take up these loans for their needs.

Through personal loans, the borrower may get money for needs that can not be ignored. The choice of the loans is totally dependent on the borrower according to his needs.

Between monetary policy and subprime mortgage

Monetary Policy also is one big factor which influence sub prime mortgage

The Fed is best known for its role in making and carrying out the country’s monetary policy-that is, for influencing money and credit conditions in the economy in order to promote the goals of high employment, sustainable growth, and stable prices.

The long-term goal of the Fed’s monetary policy is to ensure that money and credit grow sufficiently to encourage non-inflationary economic expansion.

The Fed cannot guarantee that our economy will grow at a healthy pace, or that everyone will have a job. The attainment of these goals depends on the decisions of millions of people around the country. Decisions regarding how much to spend and how much to save, how much to invest in acquiring skills and education, how much to spend on new plant and equipment, or how many hours a week to work may be some of them.

What the Fed can do, is create an environment that is conducive to healthy economic growth. It does so by pursuing a goal of price stability-that is, by trying to prevent inflation from becoming a problem.

Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in prices over a period of time.

A stable level of prices is most conducive to maximum sustained output and employment. Also, stable prices encourage saving and, indirectly, capital formation because it prevents the erosion of asset values by unanticipated inflation.

Inflation causes many distortions in the market. Inflation:

· hurts people with fixed income-when prices rise consumers cannot buy as much as they could previously

· discourages savings

· reduces economic growth because the economy needs a certain level of savings to finance investments that boost economic growth

· makes it harder for businesses to plan-it is difficult to decide how much to produce, because businesses can’t predict the demand for their product at the higher prices they will have to charge in order to cover their costs

Bank’s Mistakes in subprime mortgage?

Prior to bank deregulation, Savings and Loans provided mortgages to home buyers and kept these loans on their books. Non-performing loans had a negative effect on the S&L’s profitability which of course caused tighter lending guidelines such as job stability and decent down payments in order for prospective home buyers to be approved for a mortgage. Way back then, a home buyer had to actually save up enough money for a down payment 10 or even 20% before a bank would ever consider underwriting a mortgage. The checks & balances kept banks solvent and borrowers responsible.

Although this approach worked, some cried foul stating that the regulated system was racist and discriminatory-and there certainly was some truth to this. Skipping forward to the present, banks made a bundle on mortgages over the past five or six years. For the most part, they allowed their underwriting criteria to be stretched so far out of alignment that almost anyone could and indeed did, qualify for a mortgage despite their ability to pay. Some folks even applied for and received mortgages for more than the property was worth. Sometimes for as much as 25% more than their property was worth!

Under the prior system, 125% mortgages would not have been possible because of course these loans were held on the banks’ books and could have led to losses that would have had to have been absorbed directly by the bank.

So what went wrong? Under the current system, these loans were sold to the big Wall Street investment firms who repackaged them as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO’s), Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS’s) and other similar acronyms. These instruments were then sent to the ratings agencies for their blessing and more importantly a letter rating. Many of these structured finance deals receive AAA ratings-the highest ratings available meaning that in theory, these instruments were least likely to default. How does one create a ‘triple A’ or AAA rated financial instrument out of sub-prime mortgages? Herein lies the magic. These Asset Backed Securities (ABS) are made up of different tranches or slices, each carrying a different risk and reward level. The first dollar of principle and interest is applied to the securities with the highest rating, and the first dollar of loss is applied to the tranche with the lowest ratings.

The lower slices are designed to provide a security blanket that in theory protects the higher-rated securities. The investment banks that package or ‘structure’ these securities in order to earn fat fees when they sell them to investors are the same entities that pay the ratings agencies to rate these instruments. Clearly the possibility for conflict of interest is present. If investors and not the investment banks that stand to rake in millions in fees were to pay for the rating, the potential for this conflict of interest would be negated. Furthermore, the investment banks have a vested interest in convincing the ratings agencies of the credit worthiness of these securities.

Mortgage Meltdown Analysis

At this article, I tried to write some analysis about mortgage meltdown, why it could be happen?

People are losing their homes and many more will lose their jobs before the mortgage meltdown works its way through the system.

To paraphrase Alan Greenspan’s remarks on March 17th, 2008, “The current financial crisis in the US is likely to be judged in retrospect as the most wrenching since the end of the Second World War. The crisis will leave many casualties.”

How many casualties? Experts are predicting that in the next few years, between 15 and 20 million homeowners could have homes worth less than what they owe. Walking away from a bad situation may actually make sense for people who mortgages that are ‘upside down’ considering the fact that refinancing is out of the question and home equity is nonexistent.

It seems quite easy to point fingers at greedy Wall Street titans for causing the sub-prime mortgage crises. They after all, put together the deals that allowed banks to underwrite mortgages and then offload these liabilities to investors. What many fail to realize is that there is no shortage of blame to go around from homeowners buying more home than they could afford to real estate agents looking for more commission dollars. Mortgage brokers and bankers, the banks themselves, ratings agencies such as Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, Wall Street, the Fed and last but certainly not least, the Federal Government.

In the future, beside selling we still need to know about our customer’s buying power.

Understanding the concept of societal marketing

Societal marketing is the practice of using your marketing program in alignment with the social media outlets that are available on the Internet like YouTube, MySpace and even Helium. There are other types of outlets for social media which include blogs, forums, and newsletters. You can build your marketing campaign around the concepts of social marketing to further the brand of your company through word-of-mouth advertising.

An example of a company using social media would be Sony with its release of Spider-Man 3. They worked with Google Earth to provide to fans a map of Manhattan with an overlay of Spider-Man 3. They also released the still pictures from the film for use by fans on their Spider-Man 3 blogs. They accepted fan challenges from fan art assignments to creating original videos for their members only content. It is this type of campaign that companies are initiating in the hopes that societal marketing will help their companies improve their return on investment while increasing their brand name.

Companies do need to be careful when they are planning on using societal marketing as their campaign strategy. Individuals aren’t required to provide a positive experience to the people who read the blogs and forums and if companies aren’t careful they can be inundated with negative promotional information. A campaign that was looking to improve the companies brand could instead be faced with a backlash of negative information.

Societal marketing can be a useful tool for companies to explore, but with any concept precautions need to be taken so that the marketing campaign doesn’t negatively affect the company. But companies can take a risk and try out different channels for their marketing campaigns but it is always smart to be diversified in your plans. In other words, don’t put all your eggs in one basket or you could end up with a loss at the end of the quarter.
