And so, surprise surprise, the Chief Executive of the Employers & Manufacturer's Association (Northern), Alasdair Thompson, was finally sacked by his board this week after a radio interview in which he attributed the gender pay gap to women's monthly period pains and childcare requirements.

A Deepening Irrelevance of RCSA New Zealand

Has anyone from New Zealand paid and registered for this year’s RCSA “International” Conference in Port Douglas? I put inverted commas around the word international because it is something akin to how the US national baseball league is called the “World Series”. You can dress it up how you like…

The Futility of Measuring ROI in Social Recruiting

Several things pointed to the fact that this month's HRINZ "Recruitment Special Interest Group" evening was going to be a little different from the usual offering.

Moving Recruitment – the mobile jobseeker revolution

It has finally happened. I could sense the moment building. Comments had been made. Questions had been getting more pointed. The glint in the eye was turning into an expectant smile. And when I put the business onto a new mobile phone plan, giving rise to a new handset credit from our network…

In a world seemingly awash with business books, management texts and leadership essays it seems to me that there is a distinct dearth of quality, interesting and genuinely illuminating books relating to our unique recruitment industry.

SEEK Price Rise Causes Online Backlash

Last weekend the Emirates Stadium in North London was the scene of widespread discontent amongst several sections of the Arsenal fan base. The cause of this sentiment was not just the fact they lost their last home game of a stalled season to Aston Villa, but also due to the…

Tell Me Why I Need a Facebook Recruitment Page

I think I have hit a bit of rocky patch in my relationship with Facebook. You know how it is when you’re in one of those relationships that seem to be getting bit old, a bit tired, somewhat stale? You either let it fizzle out entirely, or maybe you make…

Why Recruitment Must Do More for the Young Unemployed

Listening to the radio on my way in to work this morning I heard that, whilst positive news was emerging about New Zealand’s strengthening labour market, there was a worrying increase in youth unemployment. I was quite enjoying listening to the piece until I reached the harbour bridge where, as…

Cover Letter Fails Meet My Delete Button

Wow. Friday already. These short weeks are great aren’t they? Australia had Tuesday off as well so I doubt many of them even bothered engaging the work side of their brains this week. Just think of all the extra temp hours generated in New Zealand this week over our Aussie…
