Attitude & Ability
With the right Attitude & Ability you can achieve anything!
Who we are
The Ability to Maintain a Positive Attitude is a method for consistently making useful and helpful meaning out of the environments, circumstances, events, relationships, conversations and business, we experience in everyday life. It is about choice in emotional response. People with this Ability choose their own focus regardless of the circumstance. They tend to remain in a resourceful state, and make the most of whatever life offers them. Having choice in their Attitude and focus allows them to "Seize the Day", create good memories, and project a positive future. They solve problems as quickly as possible, and carry handy "reframes" in their back pockets. They often do more, go further, and experience more enjoyable, fulfilling and satisfying lives.
What we represent
Attitude & Ability is understood world wide.
With the right Attitude & Ability, an employer will secure the services of an outstanding candidate who is not only up to standard, but switched on and focused, no matter what country, culture, industry or market segment.
World wide partnerships
Industry Owners
Salaried professionals
In today’s age, we can’t be everywhere and know everything, therefore partnerships and close relationships with kindred spirits are essential. Traditional head hunting is still the key tool in finding the right person.
Our consultants work in a team environment and are salaried professionals. There are team and individual commissions, win-win for all concerned.
Each consultant is a stake holder
in the business, they “own” the relationship. Each consultant has had direct industry experience
and can talk the talk, they understand.

About us
What do we believe in?
Both employers and employees (candidates) need a positive Attitude, and a good Attitude is something that can be nurtured and developed. Most of the successful people, businesses and events in history have been due to the right Attitude.
We at Attitude & Ability will determine what the real ability someone has for a particular role, this is essential as is their work history and business success. Our team has had real market place experience before entering the consulting and recruitment industry, we can relate to your needs and aspirations.
A positive Attitude means the Ability to try again after taking a stumble. This is critical for continuous performance of a staff member, to be able to get back onto ones’ bike and keep riding!
Would you like to know more about these issues and what Attitude & Ability can do for you? Let’s have a coffee, we’ll bring the donuts.
We have found that most employers who do not provide constant and adequate feedback about potential candidates, end up taking on second best.
Why? Because the good qualified intelligent individuals will not wait around for inefficient or inconsiderate employers who do not provide sufficient or timely feedback.
Candidates have put their trust in the potential employer and us when they provide their details, we would expect that they be treated with respect as to their status in the process of employment.
Simple courtesy is all that is required.
Courtesy & Etiquette
It's easy to do the right thing when it comes to basic communications, don't you think?
Courtesy and Etiquette when doing business should be simple.
Employers demand it, candidates expect it, and we desire it.
Recruitment is a sensitive and emotional business. Most candidates (potential employees) are either currently working, or between jobs. In both cases they feel vulnerable, either because of the fear being caught looking for a new position, or they are currently between jobs and are keen to secure something new as soon as practical.
We attempt to provide you with as much feedback as we can about possible positions and more importantly your “status” as to their application once submitted.
Likewise, employers are very keen to know that the person they have interviewed is really interested and available.
This is where simple Courtesy, Etiquette and Respect comes into play. In today’s fast paced world most have forgotten the virtues of the past. We haven't, have you?

We do not apologise for the focus on the words “Attitude & Ability”
We strongly and passionately believe this the key to success and finding the best possible people, we hope you will agree! Therefore, the following is been “borrowed” from the internet, we do not know the source or author*.
Let’s prove it!
If each letter of the Alphabet represented a number starting from 1 through to 26 (26 characters in the English Alphabet) it would look like this.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Then words such as the following would “add up to” –
H A R D W O R K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
K N O W L E D G E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
D R I V E = 4+18+9+22+5 = 58%
L U C K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%
A T T I T U D E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
B U L L S H I T = 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
E X P E R I E N C E = 5+24+16+5+18+9+5+14+3+5 = 104%
E N T H U S I A S M = 5+14+20+8+21+19+9+1+19+13 = 129%
A R S E - K I S S I N G = 1+18+19+5+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 131%
Conclusion
So, our conclusions using the mathematical formulae above, would show that whilst –
HARDWORK is good, it falls short if you haven’t the right Attitude
KNOWLEDGE is essential, but most people don’t have enough
DRIVE keeps you going, but without other attributes, you’ll miss the mark
LUCK is for gamblers, and don’t they loose most of the time?
BULLSHIT is used by those that don’t have it, and we normally see through this
EXPERIENCE is always oversold or over promoted, usually there is less than what is presented
ENTHUSIASM is sophisticated version of bullshit, people tend to over compensate in areas they lack
ARSEKISSING is a fine art, worthy of a very high number, but its not 100%
ATTITUDE = 100%
It is our Attitude in life that makes us a success and become well rounded. People are drawn to those that are 100%.
Ok, some are asking, what about Ability?
A B I L I T Y = 1+2+9+11+9+20+25 = 77%
From our reckoning, 77% is most probably a true number in relation to someone’s ability, as most people tend to over sell their ability anyway!
