I'd like to think I'll be retrospectively reading back through these blogs once the market roars back into action, in the meantime here's a snapshot of what's happening out there in the recruitment world.

Like having unprotected sex with a chlamydic super model, it was with mixed emotions that I found myself riding into work yesterday morning. Not "mixed" because I'm yet to organise my sock draw, but more so from the time it took to traverse the 20 kilometers across Auckland. Those who…

There's a fantastic scene in Forrest Gump. In it, after promising an army buddy on his death bed that he'd set up a shrimping business, Forrest fritters away his savings on a boat. Due to over-fishing from the competition, day after day, all they catch is the occasional gumboot. Then…
