Hi-fi Branding

I love hi-fi (not those all-in-one music systems, but rather your separate components with chrome feet and massive cables). I have been a big fan of it since I purchased my first system as a university student. I still remember it; a Pioneer A 337 Amplifier and a Philips CD502 CD player. Whilst that system has been phased out (regrettably I traded in the Amp about 15 years later - it was a cracker, I should've kept it!) I have been hooked on buying and trading various components ever since.
 

We're excited and rapt to be able to announce that we have been selected as a finalist in the 2010 Excellence in IT Recruitment Awards. As one of four finalists (2 local and 2 global) the competition is bound to be hot, but with our unique value-adds and continued success in somewhat inclement conditions we are hopeful of a positive outcome.

During April 2010 Potentia undertook our annual survey into the ICT Market – Potentia: Inside ICT. The objective of the survey was to discover what was happening across the technology vendor market and queried areas such as growth and change, staff acquisition and redundancies, salaries and internal morale. The survey uncovered some fascinating intel, and we’re confident you will discover the findings to be insightful and perhaps even surprising.

This document seeks to firstly outline the parameters of the survey before discussing the similarities and differences between Wellington and Auckland. In conclusion we seek to determine the possible reasons for the differences and what we might draw from them.

Over 350 technology business leaders were polled across Auckland and Wellington during May 2010 to glean these results. Covering aspects such as growth and change, staff acquisition and redundancies, salaries and internal morale, the survey uncovered some fascinating perspectives. This report draws the differences and some conclusions between the two centres.

For the second year running, Potentia has taken home the trophy for NZ’s favourite IT recruiter in the Seek Annual Recruitment Awards (SARA’s).

Wellington's information technology sector is thriving despite the recession, according to a survey by recruitment firm Potentia that has surprised some other market watchers.

Consumer confidence has rebounded, though it is seen as relief at disaster averted and not a sense that happy days are here again.

'One year later. Light-years ahead' reads the banner above that a sharp-eyed photographer spotted at San Francisco's Moscone Centre in readiness for the World Wide Developers' Conference. It takes place there next week, Monday 8th June (our Tuesday).

Amidst rising redundancies in recent months, despite a dramatic increase in the number of job seekers in the market, recruitment industry observers report that many employers are finding it more difficult to find high quality applicants to fill vacant roles.

Business confidence showed a marked improvement in April. A net 15 percent of respondents now expect a deterioration in business conditions over the year ahead, a significant improvement on the net 39 percent in March. This turnaround is the largest monthly improvement since December 2000.

New Zealand computer and communication equipment buyers have not been put off by the recession, with new figures showing a 3 per cent rise in ICT sales during the 2008 financial year.

Financial indicators up for local software vendor
Jade Group has announced operating revenue up 31% for the year ended December 31 on gross revenue of $50.8 million, compared with $42 million in 2007.
 

Kiwi software company Right Hemisphere has followed on from a successful 2008 by picking up a lucrative contract with the world’s largest supplier of commercial aircraft parts, Spirit Aerosystems.

In the second half of 2008 the world's financial systems all but collapsed, fueling widespread predictions of the most dire economic crisis in eighty years. Orthodox thinking anticipated retrenchment, reduced investment, lowered consumption and widespread hardship. If you accepted the conventional wisdom you'd agree this was certainly not a good time to launch a new enterprise. Rather, a time to wrap your dream carefully against breakage and lay it in mothballs on the shelf.

ASB Bank has set aside $1 billion for low-interest loans to small and medium businesses and farmers to help them save and create jobs.

SAN FRANCISCO - Intel Corp. plans to spend $7 billion (NZ$13.45bn) upgrading its US factories over the next two years, a sign that the recession hasn't extinguished chip makers' lust for cutting-edge equipment.

Potentia has been recognised as NZ’s favourite ICT recruiter through winning the Seek Annual Recruitment Awards (SARA’s).

In September 2008 Potentia opened their 2nd office - in the country's capital: Wellington.

The recent fast50 awards announced that Potentia featured again in the top 20 - taking spot #20. To the delight of the Auckland consulting team present, for the second year running Potentia featured in the top half of the register. "We're absolutely stoked to be recognised again" says Josh Comrie. "It was tough competition again this year and some great businesses have been recognised - including a number of our clients. Funnily enough though - had we entered with last years numbers this year, we actually would have won!"
