We really enjoyed the Service Network Summer Social this month at the Baltic where they got Jim Lawless up to talk about his 10 rules for Taming Tigers.
Jim's presentation was brilliant, funny, engaging and informative.
Julie and I have been trying to follow the rules and so far we've seen some great successes!
One of the challenges we set ourself after seeing Jim's talk was taking the bull by the horns and organising our own seminar around recruiting and retaining talented staff, it has taken some organising but we've managed to do it!
It will be taking place after work on Thursday the 19th of August at The Live Theatre in Newcastle. It's entitled "How good looking are you? Successful ways to attract and keep talent within your company".
We are excited to be hosting this event with Jules Rutherford of UTurn TV and Justin Turner of Carrotmedia. We were also very pleased to have our invitations accepted to join our panel by Herb Kim of Codeworks and Michael Ord, a trusted and experienced Employment Lawyer based in the North East.
Our aim is to inform and inspire business owners and managers about their Employer Branding, Staff Searching, Employee Engagement and Team Motivation.
We look forward to hopefully seeing you there.

Events, Seminars and Debates!
We've been busy at Sharpe Recruitment attending and organising and taking part in various events throughout June, July and upcoming in August. So we thought we would keep you informed and tell you a bit more about them here...
This week is going to be a very busy week for events, firstly we are heading out to the SuperMondays SuperUX event tonight at Gateshead College, looking at the speakers they have lined up it will be an interesting and informative evening for sure.
As part of the Entrepreneurs Forum Nurturing Pool that we were invited in to at the end of last year we will be attending their event at Brewin Dolphin tomorrow night entitled "Surviving Through a Recession: The entrepreneur's viewpoint"
Hopefully we will learn a lot from this and glean lots of useful hints and tips to drive our business forward in the coming months and years!
After a night of rest and relaxation on Wednesday we are lucky enough to be part of The Digital Generation event being organised by Newcastle University at The Tyneside Cinema on Thursday, where we will be on hand to offer students (past and present) useful advice on careers within the Digital Industry.
You must be thinking "surely that's all they can possibly squeeze in over the next few weeks?!" Oh No! We are proud to also be sponsoring the TellyNet Summer Party at the Pitcher & Piano on Friday the 6th of August, which will be a relaxing evening for all those involved in broadcast and digital media to get together for a catch up over a few drinks and some lovely BBQ food! Tickets are just £10 and include food and a drink.
Phew! We feel tired at the thought of it all but also very excited to have so much going on. We also wanted to say a big thank you to all those helping and supporting, it will be worth all of the hard work for sure. Wish us luck! :-)

Are you attending Thinking Digital 2010 at The Sage?
We've got our tickets, have you?
The Thinking Digital Conference takes place on May 25-27 2010 at The Sage Gateshead and will include a great variety of conference activities and World renowned Digital Industry speakers.
Although the conference is sold out, they do have places left in their Livecast Lounge. The team at Codeworks piloted Livecast Lounge last year and it was a big hit, with a few people even choosing to spend the entire conference in this space. Given the popularity, they’ve expanded the space this year to allow them to expand the conference. It’s going to be a great place to watch the conference streamed live from the main hall with more comfortable seating, tables to set your stuff down, laptop power and wifi. Also you can bring food & drinks to your seat which you can’t do in the Main Hall. Finally, your ticket doesn’t limit you to Livecast. You can get access to the Main Hall from 5 minutes before each session if seats are available.
We've got our Livecast Lounge ticket and we think you should too! Here's where you can sign up:
