4 Ways Microsoft’s Linkedin Acquisition WILL Change the Recruitment Space

Microsoft shocked us when they reported the buyout of Linkedin. Upon reflection, it seems logical that the world's largest cloud and the largest professional network globally would amalgamate. What is not so clear yet is the way it will affect the recruitment market… So here are 4 predictions:

Goodbye Email 
Microsoft are likely to focus on the messaging functionality of LinkedIn, making a coordinated experience between Skype, Outlook & LinkedIn. Thus, email as we know it is likely to fade away and in its place, correspondence will be shorter and more instant – more of a live chat functionality.

No more CVs 
With these communication abilities enhanced, there will be little need for your traditional CV. Everyone will have a centralised online career history on LinkedIn, and a Microsoft Dynamics CRM style system will give you the capacity to forward your ‘CV’ to employers, monitor the status of your applications and coordinate interviews. Our recommendation would be to begin considering your LinkedIn profile as your CV, making it as rich as possible.

Rise in video 
A recent Cisco report stated that by 2019, video will represent 80% of web activity and this is where Microsoft's Skype purchase will come into play.  We keep hearing that video is inevitably going to become more prominent within recruitment, and with Whatsapp allegedly in a testing stage of video messaging, it's fair to say that video correspondence will take place in the office day-to-day, which could mean the extinction of face-to-face interviews. Therefore sending a video as a cover letter now would put you ahead of the crowd.

Increase in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning 
The union of Linkedin and Skype could bring Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. For example, if I was messaging you regarding a staffing strategy, AI could populate a list of first degree Linkedin connections who could be a good fit. For recruitment specialists, this implies you would need to work somewhat harder for your pound; The recommendation here is to work on the depth of your relationships so that you are still invaluable in introducing clients and candidates.

Whether you agree with these forecasts or not, hopefully you can agree that Microsoft’s acquisition of Linkedin will have a huge impact on the recruitment space!

7 body language tips to impress at your next job interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCWVi5pAa30 

Body language is so important and can make or break your interview. If you believe you are saying all the right things but still getting rejected, your body language could be the issue- follow these tips for interview success!

• ·         Posture

       Consider your posture. A characteristic thing for individuals to do is slouching and folding their arms – this appears as though you're making yourself littler, protecting yourself, and gives off signs that you are nervous. Relax your body, uncross your arms or legs and incline forwards a little from the waist to demonstrate to your interviewer that you are engaged.

• ·         Calmness

You will appear nervous and the interviewer will be less disposed to have trust in you if you are fidgeting or playing with rings and other accessories.  Concentrate on your breathing – breathe deeply and slowly which will moderate your heart beat and make you feel more relaxed and less anxious.

• ·         Hand movements  

Keep them calm and just to stress your point – palms upwards indicate honesty. Touching your heart can mean that what you are stating is trustworthy and originates from the heart. Steepling shows certainty and the converse of this is clasping or crushing your hands together with intertwined fingers, which is an indication of tension- try not to do this.

• ·         Mirroring

This is a clever strategy, however, should be done inconspicuously. Reflect any positive signals or hand gestures, delaying 10 seconds before doing it– you can likewise copy their speech, mirroring their vocabulary or language or demonstrating the same rate and volume of speech. Individuals trust people who are like themselves, so this will help you seem more likeable to them.

• ·         Eye contact

it’s normal for individuals to look down or avoid eye contact from the interviewer however by looking at them you'll be declaring your honesty and trustworthiness. Rather than gazing into the interviewer’s eyes, interchange between their left eye, right eye and mouth every couple of seconds. When you have more than one interviewer, make sure that you look at everybody, centering your gaze on whoever is talking at the time.

• ·         Avoid lying signs

Do you best to not touch your face, particularly your nose and ears – these will subconsciously hint to your interviewer that you're being untrustworthy.

• ·         Give the ideal handshake

This is quite a simple tip, but one that a lot of individuals still haven’t perfected. Too firm and you'll appear to be a little aggressive, excessively weak and you'll appear too shy– You should instigate the shake and match the interviewer’s strength.

These tips will help you to come across better in your next interview. You now just need to plan WHAT you are going to say!

Microsoft Dynamics Projects: The Importance of Planning Ahead

Microsoft Dynamics AX is new contender in the ERP market. It entered the sector in 1998 –the same year SAP encountered 50% revenue growth amid the 1990's ERP growth spurt. In those days, Microsoft Dynamics AX seldom surpassed the £1m mark and therefore, didn't require a thorough PMO (Project Management Office) plan. As more Microsoft Dynamics ventures have entered enterprise level in both budget and scale, a more methodical approach has been adopted.
This blog looks at the significance of the PMO in planning worldwide AX projects and why this can pave the way to project success or failure. Cognitive Group met with Matt Takaki, a PMO at Hitachi Solutions Europe who has been playing a role on some of their largest Microsoft Dynamics AX projects, to discover his point of view.

Cognitive Group: How would you summarise the role of the PMO?
MT: Essentially, the PMO’s job is to support the smooth-running of the project via the planning process, coordinating with the different workstreams and ensuring a measure of governance and control around the project. Through monitoring of risks, issues and activity across all workstreams, a PMO can offer a rolled up view of the programme and act as an informed point of contact between the consultants, client and third party vendors.

CG: You have worked on two of the largest Microsoft Dynamics AX2012 projects globally, both from an end-user and consultancy perspective. What are the main differences?
MT: Having now spent time on both sides of the fence, I’m perhaps convinced now more than ever of the need for partnership between client and consultant. The consultant has a wealth of experience and guidance to offer the client. By virtue of a true partnership the client, by working with the consultant and exposing them to critical business processes, and consultant can move forward together in delivering a robust solution, designed for a particular organisation or set of businesses. It has definitely been insightful to witness both sides first-hand and it enables me to anticipate certain situations and sympathise with all parties.

CG: In your opinion, what are the advantages of having a PMO on a Microsoft Dynamics AX project?
MT: The PMO can offer an objective opinion and is aware of the bigger picture. Often, consultants are restricted by their own tunnel vision and fail to see the bigger picture. A PMO can impartially oversee the entire project, thus ensuring that all work streams are coordinated together, timescales are effectively adhered to, and that everyone is focused on the end result!

CG: What are the key challenges? / What are the challenges in coordinating a global project plan?
MT: In terms of planning, a PMO is always hindered by what everyone perceives as their own “priorities”. While these are of course important, the challenge is in ensuring everyone has their eye on the prize and is bought into the ultimate objective. The Programme Manager is interested in the headlines, the finance team are concerned with accounting issues, and the development team are focused on their technical specs, but who is responsible for looking at the project as a whole? This is the main challenge for a PMO and is the reason why we need to be extremely adaptable and ensure our communication is a tailored to the specific audience we are addressing.

CG: What are the keys to success on large projects from your perspective?
MT: First and foremost, the project plan! If structured properly….well, your battle may be half-won! To do this, it’s important to ensure everyone has input, especially around time-scales, and that they buy into it.
In addition to project plans, it has become clear to me that for a successful implementation, both sides must try to strive towards a partnership and away from the customer/vendor relationship.
This is never easy but I have personally seen the benefits.

CG: What do you enjoy about your role?
MT: It’s rewarding to see a solution delivered and bringing value to the users after all the hard work. The implementation process forces businesses to really understand what they do, how they do it and why. And when it’s a global organisation spread across different time zones, with different currencies, legislation and practices, it’s a complex and sometimes laborious task! Being involved in that process and seeing it succeed is incredibly rewarding.

CG: What is the best advice you’ve received in your role?
MT: I was once told by a Programme Manager that as a PMO, you can liken yourself to a variety-show performer spinning plates! As more plates are added, sometimes you have to consider which plates absolutely must be kept spinning and which you can afford to drop. It’s all about prioritisation and what will have the greatest impact.


Planning is key for any successful project. Without an exhaustive plan, your team could experience miscommunication or go down different paths. Obviously, the PMO can't keep ventures from falling flat without any help, but they can unquestionably add value by coordinating the general plan and acting as an educated connection between the different specialists inside a project. For any huge scale implementation a PMO is the thing that binds the different specialists together. While a lot of people underestimate the significance of this position, projects are won and lost by fine margins, and an organized PMO is well-placed to guarantee the best chance at the project succeeding.

7 body language tricks to ace your next job interview

Have you been to a job interview recently, perfectly qualified for the job, answered all the questions well but still found yourself rejected? The answer could lie in your body language; studies suggest that only a small percentage of communication is the words you say, whilst the majority of your communication lies in certain vocal aspects like your tone of voice and nonverbal elements such as your facial expressions, gestures, posture. Here we look at the messages you’ve been sending out with your body language and how to tweak these to make sure you’re sending all the right signals.

Which path to take in your Microsoft Dynamics career: End User, Partner or Tier 1 Consultancy?

We frequently get approached about the differences in working for an end user and a consultancy so this piece will share the answers and help you to choose your direction in the Microsoft Dynamics industry. As a Microsoft Dynamics specialist there are various directions you can take – you could work for a Gold Partner, end client, or Tier 1 Consultancy. So how should you choose which route to go down? What are the benefits of working for one type of employer over the other?

Partners

There are various advantages in working for a Microsoft Dynamics partner, the main one being the experience you get by working across several projects. This helps you discover what experience you are missing, and gives you the chance to close any gaps in skills. You will also receive extensive training in methodology & structure, and have exposure to Microsoft Dynamics updates which are gained through the partner’s association with Microsoft. These are an important part of any career in Microsoft Dynamics, which is why it is seen as advantageous to work for a partner in the early phases of your career.

Conversely, working for a partner can bring about various complications, especially when it comes to your personal life. At a partner, a consultant’s life consists of making trips to client sites, and spending a lot of time staying in hotels. While this might be seen as fun for anyone who appreciates the advantages of room service and housekeeping, it can put a stress on anyone who has a family at home.

End Users

One obvious benefit of working for an end user is the stability they offer. You will regularly work in the same location, have a permanent base, and snicker at the consultants staying in the local Holiday Inn. However, do you gain the experience necessary to grow your career? The response to this can be seen 2 ways. It could be suggested that your experience will be restricted to the business sector you work in. But is this such a terrible thing? An ever increasing amount of Microsoft Dynamics is being tailored to particular businesses areas and so that’s a genuine benefit in working at an end user. We’ve seen with the add-ons for retail and manufacturing that industry experience is as important as product knowledge. An end client will give you very specific experience of industry processes which will help you to create implementation methodologies for that sector.

Tier 1

It’s not just Microsoft Partners implementing Dynamics – companies like PWC, IBM, KPMG and Cap Gemini are all a part of Microsoft Dynamics projects nowadays meaning that they also offer career opportunity.

Detox your job hunt: 4 ways to streamline your next Microsoft Dynamics job search

1. Clarify what exactly you want from your job  

When searching for roles, Microsoft Dynamics specialists can be a little vague about their job requirements, supposing it will cast the net wider on their job search. This can make it more difficult because their hunt does not have the clarity or focus to find that perfect role. They usually know the biggest things they want, for example, the day to day responsibilities, whether it’s a temporary or permanent role, and whether they want to work with an end client or a consultancy. What they don't usually do is truly consider how their next role will fit with their future plans.

Whilst a few specialists have a rough idea of their 3-4 year career plan they haven't considered the shortcomings in their experience, which are stalling their career progression. Whether it's more end to end implementations, Greenfield or recovery projects, more responsibility, managing a team, or experience on a particular technology, you need to recognize what will help your development. The more of these specifics that you pin down, the more effective your inquiry will be.

Furthermore, you should consider your ideal organization: what is your optimal size, sector, level of stability, geographic area, ethos, what is their business strategy and importantly, how is the organisation going to help your profession development? Whilst there is a considerable amount of data to consider, being sure about these important things will help your clarity when searching for jobs.

2. Upgrade your online profiles

Having a solid profile on LinkedIn and jobboards will help, since these are the most common platforms that Microsoft Dynamics recruitment consultants use to find professionals. Keep your online profile up-to-date, showing your latest undertakings that make you stand out. You are being assessed against other individuals doing a similar job to you (some will also likely have more experience) so you should be detailed about what you have done and how that separates you from your competition.

The simplest test for this is asking whether another Microsoft Dynamics applicant could duplicate what you've written on your experience and it would still represent their role – if the answer is yes, then you haven't been particular enough about your job or skills. Think budgets, specific technologies, number of users, geographical regions, complexities and above all what successes you can assume the credit for. This is the thing that will make your CV stick out. On your Linkedin profile do likewise, and additionally get recommendations from previous bosses and workmates –testimonials are strong and add another level to your CV.

3. Seek help from people you trust  

Recruitment Agencies

A decent Microsoft Dynamics recruitment agency can make your job search much smoother by doing the hard work for you. They will get you the best access to jobs, a considerable amount of which are not promoted. There are a huge number of recruitment organizations out there from general IT recruiters to specialist Microsoft Dynamics experts and they differ greatly. Search for companies that have direct associations with the hiring managers and senior staff of the businesses they are recruiting for, as they will have the capacity to introduce you at the right level, and lessen the number of interviews you need to attend. There will always be a plenty of agencies you could use however the service matters. Our recommendation is to discover a company that makes you feel comfortable, truly understands what they are discussing and helps with your search. Perhaps they’ve met you, shown that they are an expert or they were recommended to you – run with what feels right. You will be better guided by somebody who you trust.

Old colleagues and workmates

The Microsoft Dynamics network is fairly small and well-networked. Keep in mind how productive it can be to build relationships with your colleagues: it's amazing how frequently connections and existing relationships have quickened the hiring process. Referrals are frequently used by recruitment agencies and end clients to place candidates. With the development of online networking, it's simple to stay in contact so take advantage of this and let your contacts on Facebook and Linkedin know when you are searching for your next job. If they have been impressed with you at an earlier stage, they are likely to recommend you.

4. Learn how to recognize genuine job adverts  

Applying to adverts can take a lot of time and energy, what’s worse, not all adverts you see posted are completely genuine. Opportunities may have been filled and just not removed, or may never have  existed. Whilst this is not policed, the positive news is that it’s easy to see which are genuine and which are fake:

•                    Some adverts are unmistakably duplicated from a HR job spec and discuss a job from a high level as opposed to the specific parts of the role. If an advert appears to be non-specific and can't be separated from others, the odds are you have a bad opportunity or a bad recruitment specialist

•                    A real job advert should have plenty detail inside of it. Figures, facts and specifics that clarify the opportunity typically mean you have a genuine role and a solid recruitment consultant

•                    A job advert that gives more detailed overview suggests that the recruitment consultant was experienced enough to ask great inquiries from a hiring manager (not simply HR) which furnishes you with the points of interest you want to know. It likewise hints that they have a decent relationship with the company who have given them time to brief them well on the role.

You can never be 100% certain about the origins of an advert but this should give you a better idea of what to look out for. Trust your instinct and if it sounds very generic or like a rehash of other adverts, keep looking!

Considering these 4 tips should make your next Microsoft Dynamics job hunt a bit more stress-free – do you have any other tips to share?
