Recruiting Without Prejudice

You're usual blogger is once again in foreign lands, so again, I'm in charge. *Although, given the reaction to the April 1st Whiteboard, many of you will be expecting this. It struck me this week that an embarrassing proportion of what I do as a recruiter is more "judgement" than…

Candidate Ownership: The Recruiters Headache

Your usual blogger is now off on his holidays, leaving The Whiteboard quill in my paws for the next 5 weeks. Catching up with a candidate the other day, I was reminded again just why we as an industry have a reputation second only to Heinrich Himmler’s ill-fated day care…

The Employee Referral Dilemma

I was at a cosy little launch party last night, tucked away upstairs at one of my favourite craft beer haunts. The company had started out sharing office space with my own business but had quickly outgrown the co-working concept and moved into their own digs. Speaking with the company…

Sacking Your Recruitment Prima Donna

Not a great deal to report on from the world of New Zealand recruitment this week. The very public spat between Jeremy Clarkson and the BBC following his physical assault of a Top Gear producer is a salutary reminder that your recruitment staffers can never be bigger than your firm,…

Naughty But Nice…Swearing, Recruiting, and Cakes

There's been far too much talk on recruitment blogs this week about Vend's use of swearing in their recent online job adverts, so I'm loathe to go wading any further into that one. If you're not up to speed you can check out blogs from the likes of Ross Clennett, Troy…

The Leprosy of the Recruitment Conference Exhibitor

I'm looking for a little bit of feedback today from anyone who has paid for, stood at, and run an expo stand at a conference. Is it really worth the time, effort and money? I ask for two reasons: Last week I popped into the expo stand area of the…

Pistols Drawn in New Zealand’s HR Industry

There seems to be a bad-blooded stoush brewing between HRINZ and a break-away faction keen to set up a rival industry body. Those at the HR Game Changer Conference a couple of weeks ago ("this isn't just a conference, we're starting a movement"...please don't puke in your mouth) heard from…

What Are The LinkedIn Fakers Looking For?

What's going on with the recent surge in fake LinkedIn accounts? A few weeks ago I got three "invitations to connect" from the profiles of people purporting to be senior ranking recruitment managers within large New Zealand businesses. The third one was from someone (I forget the name, but it…

World Cup 2014: A Test for “Flexibility” in Recruitment

As I'm sure you're aware World Cup 2014 kicks off in Brazil this morning at 8am NZ time (awesome breakdown of the "teams to watch" here). Which is 1) why this is getting posted so early and 2) why it is very short. You see, I, like many other football…

No Room for Recruitment in Workforce Planning

I've been to quite a few recruitment and sourcing related conferences over recent years but this week saw something a bit more progressive, more technical perhaps, hit our shores. Trevor Vas and his merry band of talent futurists and thought leaders, better known in our industry for the annual Australasian…
