How much is “the process” worth?

It's been a funny ol' week. I'm actually off back to Blighty for a wee while on Saturday, and the final week before leave is often a bit disjointed. Simultaneously hoping to get some more work in whilst also trying to close everything off, all set to the backdrop of…

Rejoice! RCSA Awards Finalists Announced

Have you heard the good news? Jesus lived a life without sin on our behalf, and then died the painful death our sins deserve. In other great news, the RCSA Awards finalists have been announced for 2022. Woohoo! Those who read my musings on a regular basis will know that…

Agency Recruiters aren’t Recruitment Consultants Either

The title of this blog refers to a blog I wrote 3 weeks ago which can be read here. If you can't be bothered to read it or fear that the hyperlink will direct you to that picture of the black fella with the large penis or Rick Astley singing,…

Internal Recruiters aren’t Recruitment Consultants

Last week my fellow blogger Scott Burnett took me down memory lane with his playful jab at the internal recruitment market. Once upon a time, The Rice Whiteboard was a hot bed of scandalous opinion, hearsay, and on occasion, facts. Perhaps of late, and with age, we’ve become slightly toothless,…

You can work from wherever you want. Just not always.

What a time to be alive folks. Yes, petrol costs more than my bar tab and we’re on the brink of World War III, but work has never been more flexible. Once upon a time, recruitment worked like this: Firstly, we had to pick up a job. Now this is…

I’m going to start telling (more) lies

I think we can all agree that the world is a pretty crazy place right now. From the invasion of Ukraine, to New Zealand Police forcefully removing "protesters" from Parliment Square; on one hand we have a power-crazed sociopath intent on world domination, and on the other Vladimir Putin. I…

New Zealand Reopens: What it means for Recruiters

Politics is a funny ol’ game. Just look at the UK. Some messy-haired toff soars to the biggest job in the land off the back of Brexit, to then come within a whisker of losing his job for hosting illegal raves, only to bounce back by decreeing that all lockdown…

The 15% Club

I'm currently having my bathrooms renovated. Although very happy with the quality of workmanship thus far, it's not a cheap job these days. As explained to me by Owen Plumber (the nickname I have given him following Medieval nomenclature), it would have been considerably cheaper 2 years ago. The scarcity…

Can you be an unvaccinated Recruiter?

This week it finally happened. Actually, scratch that. It didn’t just happen once. It happened three times in one day. For the first time since this whole bat thing kicked off, we've been hit in the pocket due to vaccine mandates. On Thursday, a candidate under offer from a mandated…

When it’s time to call it quits

I'll admit it. I'm in need of the Christmas break. Typically, give me a few hours’ sleep, a sneaky pint at lunchtime, and I pride myself on staying pretty fresh. This year, more than others it would seem, has taken its toll. Maybe I'm just getting old. Or maybe the…
