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…

How much is “the process” worth?

It's been a funny ol' week. I'm actually off back to Blighty for a wee while on Saturday, and the final week before leave is often a bit disjointed. Simultaneously hoping to get some more work in whilst also trying to close everything off, all set to the backdrop of…

Rejoice! RCSA Awards Finalists Announced

Have you heard the good news? Jesus lived a life without sin on our behalf, and then died the painful death our sins deserve. In other great news, the RCSA Awards finalists have been announced for 2022. Woohoo! Those who read my musings on a regular basis will know that…

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…

Why “meeting the team” is more important than you think

I, like every sane Kiwi, am double vaccinated. I also support the temporary suspension of some of our freedoms. Perhaps I'm what tinfoil hat-wearers would describe as "sheeple". Perhaps I just don't like people dying unnecessarily . I am however in the majority - with most people from most walks…

Stop F*cking Lying

LinkedIn isn't what it once was. As a man approaching his 40th birthday, I'm allowed to write stuff like that. It used to be a place where you could see where people were working, drop 'em a message, read the occasional interesting article, and share a hastily-written job ad. These…
