Dodgy Recruitment Referees

The issue of dodgy refereeing has been prevalent at the World Cup over the last couple of weeks. Even our very own kiwi ref Peter O'Leary has become enemy number one in Bosnia by upholding an incorrect offside decision, effectively denying Bosnia-Herzegovina a route through to the last round of…

NZ Budget 2014: Three Key Areas for Recruiters to Consider

It's almost two years to the day that I blogged about the surging Australian economy, their painfully tight labour market, booming agency recruitment desks and snake-charmer enticement of kiwi recruiters to cross the ditch to enjoy recruitment in the promised land. How the tables have turned. Following the Aussie's release…

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.

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

Robert Half’s Utopian Recruitment Bubble

A couple of weeks ago a video from Customise Consulting caused a bit of a stir on this blog with its amusingly provocative jabs towards the traditional, corporate, recruitment agency model.

It’s Not the Size of the Billings That Counts…

Mark Twain once said "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog". This is a well-worn mantra that is well worth recruitment leaders bearing in mind as they look to grow their consulting teams in 2014. But not in…

Are you Ready for Recruitment in 2014?

Hi all and welcome back to a shiny new year of recruiting japes and general shenanigans. Happy New Year etc. Nice break? Good. Now let's get on with things. I usually kick the new year off with a Whiteboard post suggesting some "dusting off" and "gearing up" and "easing back…

The Increasing Desperation of Struggling Recruiters

I received a phone call this week from a regular Whiteboard reader in a rather grumpy mood. He wondered if a recent spat he had been engaged in could be aired here on the blog to garner some opinion and hopefully generate some useful debate. I thought it was a…
