Recruitment Lessons from the World Cup

In thinking on a topic for this week's blog, my week has been filled with football, so I'm afraid the theme continues from last week's post. I won't apologise for this though, there's plenty of other crap being shared around the interweb that you can visit instead and hey, it'll…

World Cup 2014: A Test for “Flexibility” in Recruitment

As I'm sure you're aware World Cup 2014 kicks off in Brazil this morning at 8am NZ time (awesome breakdown of the "teams to watch" here). Which is 1) why this is getting posted so early and 2) why it is very short. You see, I, like many other football…

Job Boards Recruitment Sourcing

Zapping Jobseeker Spam

There's been a ton of publicity over the past week or so since Zappos announced their new careers page Zappos Insider and the fact they will no longer be posting vacancies on job boards. What has been widely acclaimed as a brave and game changing move (but something that Air…

Good Recruitment Ads Don’t Work

Seemingly impervious to the recent Auckland cold snap, Jon has once again handed over the whiteboard market to me as he heads down to Queenstown for the long weekend. Regular readers of the Whiteboard will know of Jon’s propensity to support innovation, disruptive ideas, and l'enfant terribles within the recruitment…

Is the Job Boards Bashing Really Justified?

There's been quite a few blog posts generated in the wake of the #IT18NZ conference last week, including one from me, but there is one thing in particular that I'm keen to zero in on this week: Job-Boards Bashing. Given that the majority of speakers represented the hiring efforts of…

The Good, The Bad and The Irony at #IT18NZ Talent Conference

Hands up who's feeling a bit weary and strung out as we near the end of a 5-day work week? It's become a bit of a novelty recently, especially in this part of the world with ANZAC Day following Easter. I'm glad, though, because it enabled me to attend another…

The Whiteboard Turns Four

Following on from last week's scarcely viewed Good Friday blog (just look at the treat you missed out on) I suspect that this week's blog might fly similarly low beneath the radar. Thanks to the vagaries of 2014's calendar this year sees Good Friday followed a week later by ANZAC…

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…

New Zealand’s Digital Recruitment Revolution Kicks Off

I've often bemoaned the short-sighted behaviour of old school recruiters in stubbornly flogging away at print media, misinformed cold calls and command-and-control KPI management. But this week it's time to take a look at those recruiters out there who are pushing the boundaries, dragging recruitment into the digital future and…
