All of it can come from this tool, but you have to know how to do it right.

Karen Leland, Key note speaker: How many of you solve problems during the day? Just raise your hands? Ok, how many of you create problems during the day? Laughter from the audience. More than likely? Solve and create problems. Those things are what we would call the functions of your job. In other words those are the things that grab us by the collar when we come into work in the morning and say alright take care of me. They are focused on profit but satisfaction as well. They understand the relationship between profit and satisfaction. They use technology to create closeness not distance so if you go into a company that works like this their technology is actually a bonus to you. Their technology is actually helpful to you.

Gus Samra, Senior Business Analyst, JobDiva. & Charles Rouhana, Technology Manager, JobDiva Inc.: The power of Diva mail is that it is a lot of connection between Diva mail and the JobDiva application. You are not only checking your email you can also go to a contact record, you can go to his record, if there is a candidate record you can go to his record. You can also save the email permanently into JobDiva application. If you think the name is fancy wait until you see what it does actually. Calca Diva is basically a tool that provides the recruiters and sales people with the ability to guestimate the best approximation of the margin when negotiating with clients and candidates.

Frank Mobus, Keynote Speaker: Negotiating is a big topic. How many of you here are on the sales side, show your hands? Sales people really pay to do what? He made a joke.

Audience: Make sales. Laughter

Frank Mobus: Jack all the way in he back, I talked with him yesterday. He is in sales. He used to be on the other side of the table and now he is in sales for JobDiva. Jack, if every time you got together with a potential customer, you deadlock what would be your future within the organization? Well it depends on the organization. Well with me they made me VP of sales. It is a little different. JobDiva, be a staffing Star.
