All of Government Part 3: The RCSA did a…(gulp)…good thing

Those of you who frequently read my musings, and those who shared a lovely lunch with me yesterday, will know my view on the RCSA. Without labouring the point, I'm not a fan. A largely toothless, self-congratulatory boys club, it's never resonated with me. Which is odd to be frank,…

All of Government and the Death of Contractor Recruitment: Part 2

Like any Hollywood blockbuster, how could I resist a sequel to this year's most popular blog? Given that last week's post made the hallowed pages of "Reseller News", I'm compelled to rinse this for as long as possible. Fame is fleeting these days, and this is my 15 minutes. For…

Toxic culture, or are you just allergic?

When I was a nipper, the only thing "toxic" was toxic waste. In my mind's eye, this substance glowed fluorescent green and lived in oil drums. Nowadays, everything is toxic. From masculinity, to relationships, to culture, to workplaces. Using the term "toxic" is now all the explanation required to describe…

Zuru throw their toys at Glassdoor

Those with one eye on the world may have seen an interesting case played out in the US courts this week, originating in little ol’ Aotearoa. Kiwi Toymaking giant Zuru, with revenues of over US$1bn, have won the right to be told the identities of those who have given them…

The RCSA Awards: The (dubious) results are in

This week sees me struck down with Covid. So far, it's not been so bad. I'm running a temperature, have a bit of a head cold, and a few extra aches and pains. The bigger issues are the number of quacks coming out of the woodwork to offer up nonsense,…

Internal Recruiters aren’t Recruitment Consultants

Last week my fellow blogger Scott Burnett took me down memory lane with his playful jab at the internal recruitment market. Once upon a time, The Rice Whiteboard was a hot bed of scandalous opinion, hearsay, and on occasion, facts. Perhaps of late, and with age, we’ve become slightly toothless,…

I’m going to start telling (more) lies

I think we can all agree that the world is a pretty crazy place right now. From the invasion of Ukraine, to New Zealand Police forcefully removing "protesters" from Parliment Square; on one hand we have a power-crazed sociopath intent on world domination, and on the other Vladimir Putin. I…

New Zealand Reopens: What it means for Recruiters

Politics is a funny ol’ game. Just look at the UK. Some messy-haired toff soars to the biggest job in the land off the back of Brexit, to then come within a whisker of losing his job for hosting illegal raves, only to bounce back by decreeing that all lockdown…

Can you be an unvaccinated Recruiter?

This week it finally happened. Actually, scratch that. It didn’t just happen once. It happened three times in one day. For the first time since this whole bat thing kicked off, we've been hit in the pocket due to vaccine mandates. On Thursday, a candidate under offer from a mandated…

What would you do with a $1 million anti-vaxxer?

Here's one for ya. I have it on good authority that there is a Wellington based recruitment agency GM with a bit of a dilemma. They are currently in possession of what all recruitment GMs covet; a “million dollar biller”. In fact, they actually have more than this, given that…
