Scout: Trade Me’s Latest Play in Battle with SEEK

If you’re working in New Zealand’s recruitment and talent acquisition industry then you’ve no doubt heard about Trade Me Jobs’ new proactive talent finder platform Scout. Actually, let me rephrase that: If you work in those sectors and actually have any interest in trying to explore new ways of doing…

How to Get Rich Quick (It’s not how you think)

I'm sure that at some stage we've all questioned our career choices to date. Those weeks where nothing seems to go right and you find yourself thinking "there's got to be an easier way". In my younger years, before I came to terms with the fact that I was mostly…

Should I Give Up (Or Should I just Keep Chasing Adverts)?

This is how recruitment tends to work: When you get your first recruitment job, you are told of "active clients", "databases", and "training and development". You are told of huge earning potential, perhaps even shown a pay slip of a top biller. You are told of the "red-hot desk" that…

R&R In Rec

Good morning! Or is it afternoon? Is it September here?? Forgive me if the blog has a somewhat improvisational tone today but I arrived back in the land of the long white cloud at 6 am yesterday, you know your brains not at the races when you refer to the…

The Silent Treatment

As a recruiter, I love April. We bid farewell to the last financial year, and steam into 2018/19 with all guns blazing. For our business, it also coincides with our end of year sales meeting, team performance reviews, and some big picture thinking and planning for the year ahead. All…

Be Nice To Your Recruiter

This week, in a moment of sheer frustration I sat at my desk and began penning a poem ‘Today, I hate recruitment.’ Riddled with truisms about clients who engage with all guns blazing then never call back, sourcing woes and candidate behaviour that verges on harassment, it was an angst-ridden…

My Name is Not Natalie

I was born on the 24th of March 1988, christened Natasha Maria Foster and for the next 25 years largely called by that name, or some close variation of. Then I started working in recruitment and suddenly, inexplicably, my name became Natalie. It is still one of my favourite things,…
