Human Capital Resources, Inc. Releases Annual Report on Recruiting and Compensation in the Bank Investment Program Marketplace

Human Capital Resources, Inc., a national firm specializing in recruiting, candidate evaluations, and a wide range of sales and marketing services for financial services firms has released their annual report on recruiting and compensation in the bank channel.

"For the most part, we have seen a fairly strong pick up in the demand for experienced brokers in banks," stated Paul A. Werlin, President, Human Capital Resources, Inc. "And, as we have seen in prior years, it continues to be difficult to attract experienced and successful reps in most markets particularly in smaller cities and towns." Werlin continued, "Compensation for bank brokers has increased for top producers, particularly those generating $400,000 annual gross and above. At the same time, reps producing less than $150,000 gross are seeing their payouts reduced."



In the Report, HCR provides insights into several banks' current plans, and the challenges they are now experiencing and those they expect to face in the future. "One of the key finding of the Report," Werlin said, "is that we found a new emphasis on compensation strategies to retain top producers. This contrasts with data from prior years when the focus was more on attracting new reps."

The 6 page Report is provided at no cost to HCR's clients, is available to non-clients for $125... (Continue reading)

Guardian Angel Technology Launches New Child Momitoring GPS Cell Phones

Aurora, IL (PRWEB) September 11, 2006 -– Guardian Angel Technology has announced a new line of GPS-equipped cell phones for its Guardian Angel tracking system. The new phones come from BOOST Mobile ™, offering pre-paid services to consumers. The company’s decision to use BOOST as its platform is driven by the cost and flexibility advantages that pre-paid services provides to the end user.

With prepaid services, the consumer can better control and budget their expense, without the long-term service plan commitment traditional with postpaid contracts. A user simply “BOOSTS” their phone(s) with the dollar amount that they need for the service that they need, when they need it. This method is particularly ideal for families that intend the phone(s) to be used by small children, where there is often the anxiety that a “mistake” shows up as a totally unexpected charge on their phone bill....

The Federal Reserve Intervenes

Mike Larson takes a closer look at the global markets and how stock indexes from Hong Kong to London have been collapsing on fears of a bond insurance market meltdown. Mr. Larson examines the moves that the Federal Reserve has been taking towards interest rates.

The global markets have been in a freefall. While U.S. markets were closed for Martin Luther King Day, stock indexes from Hong Kong to London were collapsing on fears of a bond insurance market meltdown.

Then on January 22, the Federal Reserve took emergency action, slashing interest rates by 75 basis points. That was the single-largest interest rate cut going all the way back to 1984, and the first inter-meeting cut since right after 9/11. It kept U.S. markets from plunging into the abyss, but they still finished lower. And the very next day the Dow tanked 326 points before lunch. But the market suddenly reversed course. The Dow actually closed up nearly 300 points, capping a wild 5 percent intraday swing. All this happened because news leaked about more possible federal intervention in the mortgage market and a potential rescue package for the bond insurers.... (Continue reading)
