Human Resources & Recruitment

 

2012 is going to be a GOOD year!

There's a great deal happening in all sectors of the economy, and we at Bizcommunity.com intend bringing to you as much of the news as we can throughout 2012, across all sectors.

We have already launched the first of our new verticals and now we plan to get busy enlarging our team and launching even more verticals in due course. We will also, as we build our team and capabilities, look at increasing the frequency of our newsletters - let's face it, some news just cannot wait!

To you, our subscribers, thank you for your support in the past and we look forward to your support in the future.

Don't forget, we encourage comment on the articles we publish. Naturally, we hope most of the comments will be bouquets, but send us your feedback regarding our material, even if you feel you want to give us a brickbat.

In the meantime, all the best for 2012: may you achieve every success.

Rod Baker, general manager: content
