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.

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 Recruiter Two Year Itch

For some reason or other the (lack of) tenure of recruitment consultants staying with one firm keeps cropping up in conversation recently. I blogged about job hopping recruiters back in June. The post was conspicuous by the absence of comments, almost as if this has just become an undeniable fact…

Is LinkedIn Losing Its Way?

Hey LinkedIn. What are you up to? You're the professional social network that is supposed to be the future of recruitment... Are you finding it difficult to juggle being the altruistic nirvana for professional networking and a publicly listed corporation monetising and commercialising left, right and centre to to sate your voracious…
