The Finely Balanced Issue of Remote Recruiting

Recruitment is one industry that technology has influenced more than many others. The process was sped up with e-mails, the advertising of jobs amplified by online job boards, and nowadays we have smart phones, tablets, cloud-based CRM systems and Skype interviewing enabling us to recruit on the move, from anywhere, with instant…

Technology Enables Recruiting in the Craziest of Places

Happy New Year Whiteboarders and welcome back to my squeaky-clean new expanse of whiteness for 2013. I'm sure that many of you, like me, are beginning to grow weary of the client meetings and candidate calls with seemingly endless salutations of new year well wishes sparking off the conversational exchange.

The Uncertain Future for Recruitment Agencies

I've had a number of reasons to ponder the future of recruitment this week, particularly on the agency side, and it's been a week of incredible conflicts. This time of year is always a time for introspection, as things wind down a bit towards Christmas, and the general sense I…

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.

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. Some perhaps from the collective palm-meets-forehead moments when recruitment managers and sales managers saw how low the bidding was going for the privilege of recruiting for All-of-Government.
