#RHUBNZ – A Glimpse at Recruitment’s Future

Over the past two days the Recruiter's Hub roadshow rolled into Auckland and I must say I have been blown away by the whole event. Having attended these in Australia I was keen to see if we could put on a similar kind of show in New Zealand. By the end of the…

Moving On…and Ten Tips to Develop a Winning Recruitment Culture

So the All-of-Government panel for recruitment services was officially announced this week.

New Ways for Agency Recruiters to P*ss Off Internal Recruiters

This week we encountered something even worse than a poorly executed "Ad Chase". Oh yes, it's true. I can hear all of the internal recruiters out there spluttering with incredulity right now. How can there be anything worse than an agency recruiter calling up to tell you they have seen you are…
