Candidate Experience (and other wild goose chases)

Busy week for #NZRec this week. Especially Tuesday where the theme of the day can be pretty accurately summed up as where the bloody hell have all the good candidates gone? BNZ ran a morning seminar called "The Global War for Talent: Is New Zealand Winning" or more properly are we attracting…

Good Recruitment Ads Don’t Work

Seemingly impervious to the recent Auckland cold snap, Jon has once again handed over the whiteboard market to me as he heads down to Queenstown for the long weekend. Regular readers of the Whiteboard will know of Jon’s propensity to support innovation, disruptive ideas, and l'enfant terribles within the recruitment…

NZ Budget 2014: Three Key Areas for Recruiters to Consider

It's almost two years to the day that I blogged about the surging Australian economy, their painfully tight labour market, booming agency recruitment desks and snake-charmer enticement of kiwi recruiters to cross the ditch to enjoy recruitment in the promised land. How the tables have turned. Following the Aussie's release…

The Pendulum Swings Back Towards Talent Shortages

Quick one from me this week as I've got rather a lot on. When I say "rather a lot" I mean that in the same context as "China has quite a few people" or "Wayne Rooney makes a fair few bob each week" but then I've never been one to…

A kiwi recruitment agency hit the mainstream newswires again this week. A candidate who failed to make the shortlist for a couple of roles at Alpine Energy has claimed that he was discriminated against due to his age. Farrow Jamieson were recruiting one of the positions and have been sucked…

Breakfast at Bernie’s Points to Recruitment Surge Ahead

It's been a fairly eventful week for stories related to recruitment. What with Indian restaurants brazenly flouting employment discrimination laws by stipulating that only females may apply for jobs there, followed by an obvious publicity stunt from a trendy Ponsonby bar looking to do the same. We've had a CEO…

It’s Not the Size of the Billings That Counts…

Mark Twain once said "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog". This is a well-worn mantra that is well worth recruitment leaders bearing in mind as they look to grow their consulting teams in 2014. But not in…

The Economy Gets Fixed (Term)

this week's whiteboard is brought to you from the indignantly furrowed brow of Sean Walters while your regular blogger battles pesky leeches on the Central Coast bush walks of NSW... The word round the camp fire is that 2014 has started with the recruiting gusto that every January has promised,…

Are you Ready for Recruitment in 2014?

Hi all and welcome back to a shiny new year of recruiting japes and general shenanigans. Happy New Year etc. Nice break? Good. Now let's get on with things. I usually kick the new year off with a Whiteboard post suggesting some "dusting off" and "gearing up" and "easing back…

The Recruitment Rumour Mill

We all know that recruitment is a lot trickier and fraught with pitfalls than originally appears on the surface. It's why you will spend many days over the coming summer hearing stories around various BBQ's that anyone can do recruitment and why is it we charge so much for our…
