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…

The Age of Recruiter Spam

I'm writing today's post from a car dealership in Glenfield while my car gets serviced. It makes a nice change, after spending most of my time surrounded by recruiters, to be mixing and mingling with a portion of society regarded by the public with even more scorn and distrust than…
