The Beginning Of The End

Here we are then.  1st December.  The beginning of the end.  The end of the year, that is, but maybe the end of other things you've all got kind of used to as well.  Next week is going to be the last time I write a regular blog post here…

Fake Referees Make Cynics of Recruiters

Back in 1889 Oscar Wilde philosophically mused that "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life".  The notion that events in the real world are inspired by creative works, rather than the other way around, manifested itself rather topically within my own business this past week.

Why Brits Make Good Recruiters

Happy Friday everyone. Well actually it's Thursday here as I'm bringing you the second in the UK series of The Whiteboard. But I'll just pretend to keep up appearances if you don't mind. After more than a week immersed back in the UK culture, plus several conversations with recruiters in…
