Moving On…and Ten Tips to Develop a Winning Recruitment Culture

So the All-of-Government panel for recruitment services was officially announced this week. Well done to the 44 firms who made the panel and my apologies to Mana Recruitment and Careering Options who were missed off the leaked document from a couple of weeks ago. It's an interesting quote from Steven…

Beware the Rec-to-Rec “Troll”!

It's been a while since I've seen one of those e-mail threads of crazy recruitment methods or behaviours going viral. Either recruitment has entered an extended period of grace (if only), or the explosion of social media sharing, liking and retweeting has reduced the humble e-mail thread to an old-fashioned…

Job Search Scam Further Damages Recruitment’s Reputation

For an industry often compared unfavourably with those selling used cars and snake oil the recruitment industry has been keeping its nose pretty clean in New Zealand in recent months. That was until tonight when I saw the 6 o'clock News report that revealed a job search scam seemingly set…

All-of-Government Recruitment a Bitter Pill to Swallow

There will be some sore heads in Wellington this morning.

Thanks Sean and Estelle for your guest blogging contributions over the past couple of weeks. I’m sure it was a welcome relief for…

The coffee-drinking David vs. the cold-calling Goliath

Having to follow on from Sean Walters’ epic blog offering featured last Friday on the Whiteboard, I must admit to approaching this entry with a degree of trepidation. It’s not that I think I’m less entertaining or insightful than Sean, it’s just these characteristics are best displayed in a face…

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…

Facebook for Recruitment: What’s not to “Like”?

Facebook has been in the news rather a lot lately as various corners of the media, communications, business and financial worlds get increasingly frenzied about today's Initial Public Offering. While we in recruitment wring our hands together in earnest confusion over whether or not male recruiters should wear ties, Zuckerburg is rocking…

Recruiting in Australia: Is the Grass Always Greener?

I had to laugh earlier this week when driving in to work. Carol Ramos, the US correspondent on Marcus Lush's breakfast show, was telling him how up in arms they are in America over the Australian Defence Force's recent attempts to recruit US military personnel into their own military with…

Pinterest: The best social recruiting tool since LinkedIn

Good Friday to you all - ahaha. Obviously being Easter time not many of you will be reading this, having swapped your Friday doses of Whiteboard news, views and general tittle tattle for groaning traffic jams en route to rain soaked campsites but hey, it's still Friday, so I still…
