What Has Become of Social Recruiting?

I'm sensing a groundswell of existential angst out there in the blogosphere.  My favourite blog, and one that very much inspired the style and approach of my own early forays into blogging almost 6 years ago, is Arseblog.  It may sound like a cross between a suppository and a sex…

The Superstitions of Recruiters

There's really only one topic on the lips of all kiwis this Friday.  Yes that's right, it's what your kids are wearing for Halloween Sunday morning's Rugby World Cup Final between the All Blacks and the Wallabies.  So as much as I love to bring you all our particular brand…
