Recruiters, Get Your Heads Out Of The Sand And Embrace The Future

The squeeze is on. Recruitment agencies are doing it tough right now. The entire recruitment landscape post-recession has changed and for many it is a weird moonscape causing a great deal of displacement and discomfort. January was a particularly sluggish month for recruitment with many key client decision-makers taking virtually the whole (rain-soaked)…

What Internal Recruiters Really Want From Agencies

Nice to see so many of you at the SEEK bash at Auckland Art Gallery last night. An interesting venue that certainly went a long way to refining the more debauched hedonism of the SEEK Annual Recruitment Awards at the tail end of 2011 (sadly). And who says we recruiters are…

Wordle Up: Job Descriptions for the Digital Age

Some of you may remember my blog post last year about Job Descriptions being a waste of paper. Well my views on this haven't changed much at all. In fact, if anything, I probably believe this even more vehemently than before. Job Descriptions in their traditional form are such a…

Sourcing is no longer a Job…it’s a Vocation

Morning all. In fact should I say night all? I was up so early this morning that it probably still qualified as night time. Well it certainly did for the drunk couple that staggered into my hotel in Sydney as I was checking out this morning. First one in Sydney's…
