New Zealand’s Digital Recruitment Revolution Kicks Off

I've often bemoaned the short-sighted behaviour of old school recruiters in stubbornly flogging away at print media, misinformed cold calls and command-and-control KPI management. But this week it's time to take a look at those recruiters out there who are pushing the boundaries, dragging recruitment into the digital future and…

Face It, Companies Do Not Want to Use Recruitment Agencies

Have agency recruiters forgotten how to recruit? And by "recruit" I'm talking about the full cycle of prospecting, building relationships, understanding a client, gathering market intelligence and then making approaches to suitable candidates.

Speedy Recruiting and Casual Hook-Ups: A Valentine’s Day Blog

Welcome to another Friday and another Whiteboard blog post. But this isn't any old Friday, oh no. This particular Friday happens to also be Valentine's Day.

What Has Become of us Recruitment Agencies?

What has become of us recruitment agencies? I'm sure that, once upon a time, the concept of recruitment as a professional service was lauded.

It’s Not the Size of the Billings That Counts…

Mark Twain once said "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog". This is a well-worn mantra that is well worth recruitment leaders bearing in mind as they look to grow their consulting teams in 2014. But not in…

The Economy Gets Fixed (Term)

this week's whiteboard is brought to you from the indignantly furrowed brow of Sean Walters while your regular blogger battles pesky leeches on the Central Coast bush walks of NSW... The word round the camp fire is that 2014 has started with the recruiting gusto that every January has promised,…
