The Good, The Bad and The Irony at #IT18NZ Talent Conference

Hands up who's feeling a bit weary and strung out as we near the end of a 5-day work week? It's become a bit of a novelty recently, especially in this part of the world with ANZAC Day following Easter. I'm glad, though, because it enabled me to attend another…

The Whiteboard Turns Four

Following on from last week's scarcely viewed Good Friday blog (just look at the treat you missed out on) I suspect that this week's blog might fly similarly low beneath the radar. Thanks to the vagaries of 2014's calendar this year sees Good Friday followed a week later by ANZAC…

The Pendulum Swings Back Towards Talent Shortages

Quick one from me this week as I've got rather a lot on. When I say "rather a lot" I mean that in the same context as "China has quite a few people" or "Wayne Rooney makes a fair few bob each week" but then I've never been one to…

No Room for Recruitment in Workforce Planning

I've been to quite a few recruitment and sourcing related conferences over recent years but this week saw something a bit more progressive, more technical perhaps, hit our shores. Trevor Vas and his merry band of talent futurists and thought leaders, better known in our industry for the annual Australasian…

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…

The LinkedIn Propaganda Machine Hits Auckland

Hey LinkedIn, thanks for the beers and networking opportunities on Wednesday night here in Auckland. It was really cool that you threw a party to commemorate your attainment of the quite staggering landmark of 1 Million users here is New Zealand (for a country of just 4 million I think…

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. Or did most of us never know how to really do that properly and just sailed through…

Recruitment Firm Dragged into Strange Court Ruling

A kiwi recruitment agency hit the mainstream newswires again this week. A candidate who failed to make the shortlist for a couple of roles at Alpine Energy has claimed that he was discriminated against due to his age. Farrow Jamieson were recruiting one of the positions and have been sucked…

Breakfast at Bernie’s Points to Recruitment Surge Ahead

It's been a fairly eventful week for stories related to recruitment. What with Indian restaurants brazenly flouting employment discrimination laws by stipulating that only females may apply for jobs there, followed by an obvious publicity stunt from a trendy Ponsonby bar looking to do the same. We've had a CEO…
