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

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…

New Zealand Recruitment CEO’s Speaking Out (without saying too much)

Earlier this week saw a sizeable gathering of Auckland's recruitment community for a breakfast panel presentation with a clutch of New Zealand's recruitment leaders.

Recruiting Top Talent with Bean Bags and Space Invaders

Here is a simple equation for all recruitment business owners seeking to hire A-Grade recruiters into their business: If your office environment is A-Grade, they will come; If it isn't, they won't. Let me elaborate: Three times this week I have had the hiring process influenced in a major way by…

Personal Branding in Recruitment (and why it matters)

The time has long gone when a recruiter of dubious moral and ethical standing can hide behind the glossy corporate image of their particular employer of choice.

Picture the scene: It's lunchtime in downtown Auckland. The bland CBD streets have come alive with a stampede of suited office workers.

Smoke Cigarettes to Bill More Fees

A new smoking debate made big news in New Zealand this week with the Auckland District Health Board, who employ more than 10,000 people, looking to implement a policy whereby they will refuse to hire smokers.
