The coffee-drinking David vs. the cold-calling Goliath

Having to follow on from Sean Walters’ epic blog offering featured last Friday on the Whiteboard, I must admit to approaching this entry with a degree of trepidation. It’s not that I think I’m less entertaining or insightful than Sean, it’s just these characteristics are best displayed in a face…

The Internal Recruitment Pie: Do you really want a slice?

Those who follow our usual Blogger Jon Rice on Twitter will know that he has taken a well-earned holiday. Being the dynamic yet empowering leader that he is, and nothing to do with the fact that he’ll be drinking cocktails on a Samoan beach right about now, he’s handed the…

The Silencing of the LinkedIn Lambs

Did you know that changing jobs and updating your LinkedIn profile to reflect your new employer's name, your new title, or your new contact information is tantamount to breaching non-solicitation clauses in your Restraint of Trade? No? Well ok then, calm down now, it isn't. Not yet anyway, and never…

Facebook for Recruitment: What’s not to “Like”?

Facebook has been in the news rather a lot lately as various corners of the media, communications, business and financial worlds get increasingly frenzied about today's Initial Public Offering. While we in recruitment wring our hands together in earnest confusion over whether or not male recruiters should wear ties, Zuckerburg is rocking…

Recruiting in Australia: Is the Grass Always Greener?

I had to laugh earlier this week when driving in to work. Carol Ramos, the US correspondent on Marcus Lush's breakfast show, was telling him how up in arms they are in America over the Australian Defence Force's recent attempts to recruit US military personnel into their own military with…

Why Clients Shouldn’t “Do It Themselves”

I saw a Harcourts ad on a bus this morning saying that "Nurses Make Great Estate Agents" in an effort to attract more agents to their books. Interestingly, on the day following an unexpected jump in jobless figures to 6.7%, the same bus also proclaimed from its electronic screen above…

Pinterest: The best social recruiting tool since LinkedIn

Good Friday to you all - ahaha. Obviously being Easter time not many of you will be reading this, having swapped your Friday doses of Whiteboard news, views and general tittle tattle for groaning traffic jams en route to rain soaked campsites but hey, it's still Friday, so I still…

Cover Letter “Quotes” Prove You Have Nothing Original To Say

Bit of a laugh for you all this week. We've all received a whole range and host of different Cover Letters and CVs in our times in recruitment, right? From the overly wordy, to the sultry-posing photographed, to the appallingly grammared and of course, our universal favourite, the cover letters…

Can We Bring Recruiters Hub to New Zealand?

Here I am again just 7 months after the last time. Sydney Koru Club lounge, bashing out a hastily compiled Whiteboard post, following another brilliantly-executed conference by Philip Tusing from Destination Talent. Recruiter's Hub 2012 opened with a flourish with the quick-talking Californian tones of HR Marketing oligarch Kevin Grossman. …

The CV is Dead…

...At least that's according to LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman who claims they are now a redundant part of the jobseeking and hiring process, thanks to the rapidly growing presence of his own site's online profile versions. And almost dead, but not quite yet, according to the omnipresent HR influencer / guru…
