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…

Face It, Companies Do Not Want to Use Recruitment Agencies

Have agency recruiters forgotten how to recruit? And by "recruit" I'm talking about the full cycle of prospecting, building relationships, understanding a client, gathering market intelligence and then making approaches to suitable candidates.

We've had a CEO…

Robert Half’s Utopian Recruitment Bubble

A couple of weeks ago a video from Customise Consulting caused a bit of a stir on this blog with its amusingly provocative jabs towards the traditional, corporate, recruitment agency model.

What Has Become of us Recruitment Agencies?

What has become of us recruitment agencies? I'm sure that, once upon a time, the concept of recruitment as a professional service was lauded.

Hi all and welcome back to a shiny new year of recruiting japes and general shenanigans. Happy New Year etc. Nice break? Good. Now let's get on with things. I usually kick the new year off with a Whiteboard post suggesting some "dusting off" and "gearing up" and "easing back…

Just One Recruitment Prediction for 2014

So here we are then. The final Whiteboard post of 2013. In the past I've joined in the seasonal bandwagon of crystal ball gazing to predict recruitment trends but this year I'm not sure I can really be bothered. I hope you don't mind. It's partly because I'm heading over…
