Giving LinkedIn Premium a Side Step

Hands up if you have still managed to resist the need to pay for Premium LinkedIn products? Assuming that most of the readers of this post will be HR or Recruiter types of some shape or form (and also perhaps my Mum. Hi Mum.) I wouldn't expect many hands, in…

What 2015 Has in Store for New Zealand Recruitment*

Today is the first day of 2015 that I've managed to bring myself to wear shoes. It's not that I've decided to kick 2015 off by plunging into previously uncharted depths of unprofessionalism (we have Sean Walters for that), more that now I'm entering my tenth year living in New…

Recruiters and Their Social Media Fails

Like many of you recruiters out there, things are pretty busy for me right now. Which is great. Hiring intentions are up, stress levels rising accordingly, and there aren't enough hours in the day. Add to that the couple of events we hosted last week for our vRPO recruiters and…

#hiremattpontin Campaign puts Social Recruiting Theory into Practice

As most recruiters in New Zealand with the slightest touch of a finger on the pulse know by now, the much vaunted ASB talent acquisition team is being deconstructed into its' component parts and decentralised into the business. Not axed, or disbanded, or removed in its entirety as the good…

LinkedIn Almost Got Smart

We've heard plenty of commentary recently about how LinkedIn are revolutionising the way companies recruit and their recent conference fueled those flames of perceived disruptive innovation even more.

The Good, The Bad and The Irony at #IT18NZ Talent Conference

Hands up who's feeling a bit weary and strung out as we near the end of a 5-day work week? It's become a bit of a novelty recently, especially in this part of the world with ANZAC Day following Easter. I'm glad, though, because it enabled me to attend another…

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…

The LinkedIn Propaganda Machine Hits Auckland

Hey LinkedIn, thanks for the beers and networking opportunities on Wednesday night here in Auckland. It was really cool that you threw a party to commemorate your attainment of the quite staggering landmark of 1 Million users here is New Zealand (for a country of just 4 million I think…

Speedy Recruiting and Casual Hook-Ups: A Valentine’s Day Blog

Welcome to another Friday and another Whiteboard blog post. But this isn't any old Friday, oh no. This particular Friday happens to also be Valentine's Day. Many an illicit office kiss will be stolen under some recruitment mistletoe at Friday night drinks later, I'm sure. Also taking advantage of the…
