eBoss Newsletter Summer 2016

Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us....

- how time flies when you’re having fun !

This month we celebrated our 15th Birthday and it’s probably a good time to reflect on how far eBoss has evolved over those years. When we started, the mobile phone was just going mainstream : Google was 2 years old. Sven Goran Eriksson took over as England Manager from Kevin Keegan. Liverpool won the League & Eufa Cups (yes it was that long ago). The residents of Brixton took to the streets constructing a series of alfresco firepit/ bbq’s using anything that came to hand (bins/pallets/police cars) Ramona Marquez, the cute kid from Outnumbered was born and new car owners were parking their shiny Y reg Mk1 Ford Focus hatchbacks in Odeon cark parks and queueing for tickets to see Bridget Jones on the big screen. Happy Days ! So to celebrate our 15th birthday, we’ve decided you get all the gifts. In honour of our 15th, we’re offering a discount to match.

For any new sign ups or upgrades in the next 15 days (expires 18th August 2016),

you’ll get a permanent 15% discount on the new licences.

If you think that’s crazy, we’ve only just begun.

  Brexit won’t happen overnight. Even under the most optimistic circumstances where Britain triggers article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty and signals it’s intention to leave the EU it could take a full two years to negotiate the exit, which means we’ll probably be hearing about it daily well into 2019 So while it’s still early days the worst fears of the Brexit outcome have not materialised. The pound while down at 2014 levels against the Euro will no doubt recover lost ground as the FTSE-100 continues to rally towards parity with pre referendum levels. The markets were surprised by the outcome of the vote and the FTSE-100 and major world indices dipped 5% in the following days, but that proved to be short lived with the markets rallying up 20% on February levels technically delivering what analysts consider a “Bull Market” The over hyped scare tactics of both sides are unfortunate and in our opinion you only ever head into a recession if you go there mentally first. The fear that uncertainty and loss of access to the common market would plunge markets, currency and property prices to crash have proved unfounded. Britain’s exit from the EU may in fact force a change in the EU itself to maybe a less overtly political organisation and steer it back to a common market for trade amongst equal sovereign states without the legal, regulatory and financial integration. Continuing to spend and keeping the economy moving is essential in the success of a post Brexit Britain and for recruiters there is a clear potential upside. If and when article 50 is invoked, we have to entrust the government of the day to have in place the trade agreements and labour laws to ensure the pool of available skilled talent is present. There will more than likely be an influx of talent pre official Brexit and some movement after which is where the opportunities will present themselves for savvy recruiters. We’re seeing a lot of capital raising and expansion with one of our peers reporting a near doubling of their user base in the UK this year So do your bit for Queen and country, go hard, invest, expand if you can and seize the opportunities while your competitors cower in the broom cupboard fearing the worst. As Henry Ford famously said :                           “ Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t - you’re right ! “   We’re doing our bit and ramping up development of some killer new features.
