MBIE: Procurement, with all the charm of gum disease

Birthdays are a special time. A time to reflect on progress and achievements. A time to look to the future with renewed optimism. No matter what you've gone through, a birthday marks the start of a new year. And "new year" can mean "new you". And so it is as…

The echoes of AoG: Pushing Wellington Recruiters to their limit…and beyond

It pains me to report that life for recruiters in our capital is set to get worse before it gets any better. This week, it was bought to my attention that not content in forcing recruiters to work to the dismal rates of the new(ish) AoG contract, a number of…

The Curse of All of Government

Aaaaand we're back to this old chestnut. I saw an article this week featuring those good folk from Accordant in the NBR. As no one pays for the NBR anymore except dinosaurs like Jon Rice, I thought I'd share. The synopsis reads as follows: Accordant says its revenue from public…

I had a real zinger of a blog mentally drafted this week, but alas, some serious recruitment news hit my feed yesterday, pushing my planned blog down the ranks. Rest assured, these more tabloid-friendly blogs don't just disappear into the ether. They sit on my desk inside a folder labelled…

The Whiteboard Election Special: What does it mean for us Recruiters?

Let's imagine for a moment that we don't live in a country which uses the mostly fantastic MMP electoral system. Let's pretend, perhaps as a little thought experiment on this dreary Friday morning, that come Saturday, one party will have absolute rule. No "Coalition of Chaos". No "Coalition of Cuts".…

The winners, and soon to be losers, of the Government gravy train

Politically, we are a divided business here at Rice HQ. We have three loony-lefties whose allegiances lie somewhere between Green/Labour/Te Pāti Māori. Someone who sits at the absolute centre of political moderation who won't tell us who they're voting for. And a David Seymour fan who has also said that…

Do something different today

Auckland is a difficult place to live currently. No summer, followed by what feels like a lifetime of rain. The whole city turned into a massive building site. 2 hour commutes home into a damp house with a f*cked retaining wall with the warmer months seemingly a lifetime away. Although…

That’s all folks…I think. All of Government Part 7

It was 10.41am yesterday when the text came through. "We got on AoG. Heard of others yet?". And with this it was done. The fate of many a Wellingtonian recruiter was set to play out over the next few hours. At around 12.15 we heard from the next successful applicant.…

Why are we waiting? All of Government Part 6

In 1983, 61 year old Australian sheep farmer Cliff Young ran the 875km from Sydney to Melbourne in 5 days, 15 hours and 4 minutes. The T30 Tower, a 30 story hotel in China was constructed in 360 hours. McDonalds once built a 75 seater Drive-through in 24 hours. The…
