Cheating Olympians; Cheating Recruiters

This week got off to a pretty eventful start for New Zealand's shot put silver medallist Valerie Adams when she was informed that the woman person she had lost her Olympic crown to, Nadzeya Ostapchuk, had tested positive for anabolic steroid metenolone. Joy and relief all round, as the news delivered…

Olympics Security Shambles Reveals the Fallacy of “Talent Pooling”

As Sir Alex Ferguson might say, it's "sqweaky bum time" in the New Zealand recruitment agency world as firms of all shapes and sizes await the MED Procurement team's decision of who to award panel places on the all of Government recruitment contract. Meanwhile, on the other side of the…

Top Three Recruitment Myths that are…Utter Bollocks

I was going to write a post this week that followed up on last week's runaway train blog on the All of Government e-tender. An obvious topic to cover would have been to put to the floor the vigorous debate that has sprung up around price versus quality in recruitment…

All-of-Government Recruitment a Bitter Pill to Swallow

There will be some sore heads in Wellington this morning. Some perhaps from the collective palm-meets-forehead moments when recruitment managers and sales managers saw how low the bidding was going for the privilege of recruiting for All-of-Government. But mostly from the boozy wake that must surely have been held to…

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…

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…

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…
