History of Cocaine

Cocaine is extracted from the Coca plant and it is used in many forms for nearly thousand years. It is originated in South America and chewed as a leaf by many people for centuries. It is considered as a powerful stimulant, appetite suppressant and anesthetic. In the Victorian era, many medicines contained cocaine, which were available for free use for babies and children especially when they were teething.

In the first twenty years of its making, Coca Cola consisted of cocaine but the laws regulated it in the early 1900’s and restricted its inclusion. Initially its usage has been considered as a rich mans drug, but the use of Crack Cocaine, which is a modified form of the original powdered form and it is prepared as a “Rock” or “Stone” and smoked in pipes, which made its usage down to street level.

Coca can also be eaten or brewed (boiled) as tea. Neither coca nor cocaine is physically addictive, but cocaine can develop a strong dependence. Cocaine as a stimulant increases the workload on the heart. When cocaine is taken nasally, nasal passages can be disturbed, which causes infections. Cocaine is also a local anesthetic, which can ‘numb’ the areas where it is applied.

Evaluating The Success Of Recruiting Process

Most companies evaluate the success of recruiting with filling of a position with the right candidate. In fact, filling up the position is just a part of the recruiting process. A recruiting process is said to be successful only when the position is not required to be re-recruited.

In simple words, a recruiting process should make sure that the person who joins the organization stay long term and do not disengage due to issues in his compatibility with organization. It could also be for the reason that the candidate is not aligned with the commitment he made to the company and quits it as soon as he gets some other good opportunity elsewhere.

This issue is seen with most companies that have simple recruiting process or incompetent recruiting staff. The assessment of the morals or commitment of the candidate is as important as assessing his skills and degrees. The assessing skills come from the experience and competence of the recruiter.
