Blogging and KPI’s Just Don’t Mix

For a number of reasons that I won't bore you all with this is going to be a very quick Whiteboard blog post today. Oh yeah, I can hear those sighs of relief down the back there. Look I know I can be a bit verbose sometimes but come on, this…

Live Blogging and Hot-Sourcing in Sydney

Here's a quick tip for you: When typing something into Google try and make sure your brain is engaged at least in first gear. My attention had drifted to such an extreme distance last night that, thinking you are typing in "Sourcing", but in fact you spell it "Saucing", can provoke…

Tell Me Why I Need a Facebook Recruitment Page

Happy Easter Recruiters and there’s a birthday next week…
