M:So next on our meeting agenda; the open position in the sales department.
W:OK. Here’s the job description I wrote up. I think we should look at internal candidates before advertising outside the company.
M:That makes sense. So we need someone who can handle our Chinese clients’ accounts…someone who speaks Mandarin.
W:Right. Malik Lewis lived in China for ten years…
M:That’s true. But we need to give everyone an opportunity to apply. Can you put an announcement about this job on our staff Web site?
和訳はこちら

M:では、会議の議題の次に上がっているのは、営業部の欠員についてです。
W:はい。こちらが私が作成した職務内容の記述書です。私は、社外に求人広告を出す前に、社内の候補者を検討すべきだと思います。
M:もっともですね。そうすると、当社の中国人顧客との取引を担当できる人…北京語を話せる人が必要です。
W:そうですね。Malik Lewisは10年間、中国に住んでいましたよ…。
M:確かに。しかし、私たちは全員に応募する機会を与える必要があります。職員用ウェブサイトに、この職務に関する通知を載せてもらえますか。

Fast Pace for Place & Space

Toronto (13 January)-Freelancers and entrepreneurs used to have one of two options for office space: they could either work from home or lease a small, nondescript office. Nowadays, coworking spaces are a welcome alternative, and the industry has ramped up to meet demand. In this crowded market, Toronto-based Place & Space has emerged as a power player.

Founded five years ago by Theo Curry, Place & Space offers spaces with communal printers and Internet access. “We added a sense of community to the shared business-space concept,” said Mr. Curry. The sites feature open areas where workers can gather to exchange ideas or just relax over coffee. Some sites even host networking events and fitness classes.

With a minimal advertising budget, Place & Space has grown from one site in Toronto to a global business. “We’ve done some advertising on social media, but our client base has mostly been built by word of mouth,” said Mr. Curry.

Over the next few months, Place & Space will be adding seven locations, among them Amsterdam, Dublin, and Sydney. “Every business culture is different, so we believe it is crucial to have an all-local staff at our sites,” said Mr. Curry. “And we need to hurry-our Dublin location opens on the fifteenth of March.”

Place & Space社の急速な歩み

トロント(1月13日)-フリーランサーや起業家は以前、仕事場として2つある選択肢のうちの1つを選んでいた。自宅で仕事をするか、狭くて何の変哲もない事務所を借りるかだ。最近では、コワーキングスペースというありがたい代替の選択肢があり、業界は需要を満たすために急成長している。この競合ひしめく市場で、トロントに本拠地を置くPlace & Space社は、精力的な企業として台頭してきた。

Place & Space社は5年前にTheo Curryによって創立され、共有プリンターとインターネット接続環境を備えたスペースを提供している。「当社は、共有の仕事場という概念に、コミュニティーの感覚を加えたのです」とCurry氏は述べた。それらの場所は、働く人たちが集まって意見を交換したり、ただコーヒーを飲みながらくつろいだりすることができる開放的な空間が特徴だ。一部の場所では、ネットワーク作りのイベントやフィットネスの講習の主催まで行う。

最小限の広告予算で、Place & Space社はトロントの1拠点からグローバル企業へと成長した。「当社はソーシャルメディアに広告を幾つか出していますが、当社の顧客基盤は主にロコミで形成されてきました」とCurry氏は述べた。

今後2、3カ月間で、Place & Space社は7カ所を追加する予定で、その中にはアムステルダムやダブリン、そしてシドニーがある。「ビジネスの文化はどこも異なるので、当社の拠点では全員現地スタッフを雇うことが非常に重要だと考えています」とCurry氏は述べた。「また、当社は急ぐ必要があります一ダブリンの事業所が3月15日に開業するのです」。
