При високите позиции заплатата не е основният фактор за избора на работа
Мария Шишкова, управляващ съдружник на AIMS Human Capital за България и Македония
Преди 14 години понятието "човешки ресурси" беше абсолютно непознато за България. Това обаче не пречи на Мария Шишкова да се впусне в този бизнес, след като отговаря на една случайна обява за работа. Спомня си, че в описанието на позицията не е ставало ясно точно с какво ще трябва се занимава. След поредица от три интервюта обаче започва работа като младши консултант в един от световните лидери в сферата на консултантските услуги по човешки ресурси - AIMS International. А само след няколко месеца американският й колега, който е отговарял за България, й поверява управлението на организацията, която оглавява и до днес. И се гордее, че е в компанията от първия й ден.
В началото много хора смятали, че "човешки ресурси" е новото име на старото "личен състав" или ТРЗ, с усмивка казва Мария. Но днес те са по-скоро изключение. И допълва, че растежът на AIMS Human Capital не е бил нито лесен, нито плавен. Защото този бизнес всъщност е барометърът на икономиката и всяко сътресение или подем пряко се отразява на инвестиционните планове на клиентите на фирмата.
