Nine Factors to Shape Recruitment in 2011

This will be the last proper Whiteboard post for 2010. I say “proper” because I will probably do something next Friday, but being Christmas Eve I really don’t think there will be much interest from you lot. But I’ll give you something, nothing much, but something nice from The Whiteboard…

Destination Talent Awards 2010 – vote for Best Job Board, Recruitment Website and Careers Site

Two themes that have featured quite heavily on The Whiteboard this year have been online Job Boards and Recruitment Industry Awards. Job Boards are an obvious source of interest to us in recruitment. 96% of Australian and New Zealand recruitment firms post jobs on job boards with 40.2% of talent…

Winners (and losers?) from the 2010 Seek New Zealand Recruitment Awards

Seek’s annual 2010 Recruitment Awards were held at the Hilton in Auckland last Friday night but you’d be hard pressed to know anything about it unless you were actually there. I’ve been keeping an eye out for a press release all week but there has been nothing on Seek’s actual…

Linked Out – recruiters forced to delete Linkedin contacts

I’m generally a pretty easy-going chap but there are some things, I’ll admit, that make my blood boil. Technology that won’t do my bidding or listen to reason and insist on freezing no matter how many times I press CTRL / ALT / DELETE. David Bentley at Spurs. Pretty much…

Talent 2 beat Hudson to it…and could estate agents be recruiters of the future?

It feels like The Whiteboard came of age this week. The power of viral social media showed itself in a big, big way as last week’s post on the Hudson “approach” through their Linked In message spread across New Zealand and Australia and the blog ended September with over 1500…
