Always Be Recruiting

When I left the UK and entered the Sydney recruitment market Hays, my new employer, were kind enough to put me up in their Mosman company apartment for the first couple of weeks. My most enduring memory from that time, apart from the gorgeous sunrises reflecting on the CBD's glass towers…

Ten Tips to Survive Your Recruitment Christmas Party

Silly season is well and truly upon us and today, being the first Friday in December, will doubtless herald the launching of several Christmas work functions to come. Recruiters can often be partial to throwing the odd alcohol-fueled shindig and, being the excitable larakins many of us are, these occasions can…

Would You Recruit a “Potential Parent”?

The debate over the proposal to extend paid parental leave in New Zealand took an interesting turn this week, with the effect it could have on job seeking and recruitment. Labour MP Sue Moroney is campaigning to have it extended from 14 to 26 weeks and this has elicited a response…

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. Well done to the 44 firms who made the panel and my apologies to Mana Recruitment and Careering Options who were missed off the leaked document from a couple of weeks ago.

Beware the Rec-to-Rec “Troll”!

It's been a while since I've seen one of those e-mail threads of crazy recruitment methods or behaviours going viral. Either recruitment has entered an extended period of grace (if only), or the explosion of social media sharing, liking and retweeting has reduced the humble e-mail thread to an old-fashioned…

SEEK eats LinkedIn for Breakfast

Quick one this week. As you read this I should be well on my way to the mountain to show my kids snow for the first time. Hopefully there's a spare carrot somewhere in Ohakune for the snowman's nose. It was good to see a number of you at the LinkedIn…

Cheating Olympians; Cheating Recruiters

This week got off to a pretty eventful start for New Zealand's shot put silver medallist Valerie Adams when she was informed that the woman person she had lost her Olympic crown to, Nadzeya Ostapchuk, had tested positive for anabolic steroid metenolone. Joy and relief all round, as the news delivered…

Top Three Recruitment Myths that are…Utter Bollocks

I was going to write a post this week that followed up on last week's runaway train blog on the All of Government e-tender. An obvious topic to cover would have been to put to the floor the vigorous debate that has sprung up around price versus quality in recruitment…

All-of-Government Recruitment a Bitter Pill to Swallow

There will be some sore heads in Wellington this morning. Some perhaps from the collective palm-meets-forehead moments when recruitment managers and sales managers saw how low the bidding was going for the privilege of recruiting for All-of-Government. But mostly from the boozy wake that must surely have been held to…

The coffee-drinking David vs. the cold-calling Goliath

Having to follow on from Sean Walters’ epic blog offering featured last Friday on the Whiteboard, I must admit to approaching this entry with a degree of trepidation. It’s not that I think I’m less entertaining or insightful than Sean, it’s just these characteristics are best displayed in a face…
