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…

The Internal Recruitment Pie: Do you really want a slice?

Those who follow our usual Blogger Jon Rice on Twitter will know that he has taken a well-earned holiday. Being the dynamic yet empowering leader that he is, and nothing to do with the fact that he’ll be drinking cocktails on a Samoan beach right about now, he’s handed the…

The Silencing of the LinkedIn Lambs

Did you know that changing jobs and updating your LinkedIn profile to reflect your new employer's name, your new title, or your new contact information is tantamount to breaching non-solicitation clauses in your Restraint of Trade? No? Well ok then, calm down now, it isn't. Not yet anyway, and never…

Wellington Recruiters play the Waiting Game

I'm back in sunny Auckland this morning after a couple of days in Wellington where I went on a mission to cram in as many client visits as possible to get a feel for the mood of our capital's recruitment community following the submissions of the tenders for the "All of…

Why Clients Shouldn’t “Do It Themselves”

I saw a Harcourts ad on a bus this morning saying that "Nurses Make Great Estate Agents" in an effort to attract more agents to their books. Interestingly, on the day following an unexpected jump in jobless figures to 6.7%, the same bus also proclaimed from its electronic screen above…
