Call Yourself A Recruiter?

So. Call yourself a recruiter? I don't mean that in a sneering or belligerent way, no suggestion that I'm looking down my nose at your recruitment expertise (or lack thereof). No. I'm just rephrasing a question that caught my attention on LinkedIn earlier this week, a question posed by a…

Have Recruiter Salaries Stagnated?

Hello recruiters of New Zealand and welcome to Spring - yussss.  Welcome, also, to the world's 79th most popular recruitment blog. Oh yeah, you heard right. Did you watch the Leaders Debate last night? I'm not a particularly political person but I'm pretty sure that must have been the most…
