Not all “candidates” deserve a response

If you want to be a big-swinging dick on LinkedIn, there are a few simple things you can add into your posts to please the algorithm Gods. Firstly, use emojis like a thirteen year-old girl, with particular preference for that little rocket one. Secondly, add ridiculous spacing after every sentence…

2023 SARAs: Here’s the winners

Good morning folks. A quick, and thankfully easy blog from me today. Last night was of course the annual SARA awards. An event which celebrates blah blah blah (insert marketing hyperbole at your pleasure). Regardless of my view on awards, it's always a fun event, and well worth the submission…

2023 SARA finalists announced. Here’s my picks.

The blogging gods are smiling on me currently. Typically, these missives take me about twenty five minutes to write, but can take hours to think of a topic. Writing a weekly, non-repetitive, decade-long recruitment blog is no easy feat - just look at those who sporadically try. However, this year,…

How much do Recruiters really earn?

Writing a blog the morning after a Rice PowWow is often a challenge. 3 hours sleep, the alcohol-induced brain fog, shaky hands fumbling across the keyboard - all whilst trying to be both entertaining and relevant to the recruitment community. This morning I have no such problems however. At 41…

2021 SEEK Annual Recruitment Awards Finalists: Here’s my picks.

Sell a Retainer or Retain Your Sanity?

"RETAINED! RETAINED! RETAINED!" If any of the big Recruitment personalities of LinkedIn posted the above, they'd have "likes' into the thousands and comments into the hundreds. Now of course, those commenting would be that unique breed of recruitment sycophant who always comment with "Nail. On. Head. As per usual Greg.…

SEEK up their rates. Stop moaning about it

Unless you’ve been really into the America’s Cup, you will have seen the announcement of SEEK’s new dynamic pricing model. Like the first review of almost every classic album, the overwhelming response from the market has been “1 star”, “would not recommend”, and “go fuck yourself SEEK”. In its simplest…

Tinder & Job Boards Are For Losers. And I’m Proud To Be One.

When I was a single man, I used to love Tinder. Now I know everyone is using Bumble and Hinge for their online dating endeavors these days , but back in my day, Tinder was king. And I know what you're thinking. Me, sitting like a lonely loser, underpanted in…

Is it Immoral to Build Your Recruitment Database Right Now?

We've been writing a recruitment blog here at Rice Consulting since December 2009. Originally under the penmanship of Jonathan Rice, several people have been passed the ceremonial marker pen over the years, with it currently being squabbled over by Scott Burnett, and yours truly, the Merchant of Menace, the Big…

Don’t Look Back in Anger

The whiteboard has kept true to its pledge of providing consistent quality content for the last 9 years, an uninterrupted run that draws comparisons to dynasties like M.A.S.H or The Simpsons. Like any longstanding TV show eventually the writers eventually need to slack off and as a result, we get…
