Don’t Talk To Me About Recruitment Algorithms

The word "algorithm" still makes me shudder, even 25 years on from when I reached my limit in the mathematics field. I've always found basic maths pretty easy and managed to complete GCSE Maths (UK version of NCEA level 1...I think...) in a year rather than the usual two, getting…

The Leprosy of the Recruitment Conference Exhibitor

I'm looking for a little bit of feedback today from anyone who has paid for, stood at, and run an expo stand at a conference. Is it really worth the time, effort and money? I ask for two reasons: Last week I popped into the expo stand area of the…

Uber-Aggressive Recruitment Techniques

I've been seeing a bit of stuff about Uber on the news wires this week. Uber are the ride sharing business that has disrupted (a word significantly overused these days, but highly appropriate in their case) the taxi industry across many cities globally. They came to Auckland not long ago,…

Recruitment Lessons from the World Cup

In thinking on a topic for this week's blog, my week has been filled with football, so I'm afraid the theme continues from last week's post. I won't apologise for this though, there's plenty of other crap being shared around the interweb that you can visit instead and hey, it'll…

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…

The Pendulum Swings Back Towards Talent Shortages

Quick one from me this week as I've got rather a lot on. When I say "rather a lot" I mean that in the same context as "China has quite a few people" or "Wayne Rooney makes a fair few bob each week" but then I've never been one to…

No Room for Recruitment in Workforce Planning

I've been to quite a few recruitment and sourcing related conferences over recent years but this week saw something a bit more progressive, more technical perhaps, hit our shores. Trevor Vas and his merry band of talent futurists and thought leaders, better known in our industry for the annual Australasian…

Face It, Companies Do Not Want to Use Recruitment Agencies

Have agency recruiters forgotten how to recruit? And by "recruit" I'm talking about the full cycle of prospecting, building relationships, understanding a client, gathering market intelligence and then making approaches to suitable candidates. Or did most of us never know how to really do that properly and just sailed through…

Breakfast at Bernie’s Points to Recruitment Surge Ahead

It's been a fairly eventful week for stories related to recruitment. What with Indian restaurants brazenly flouting employment discrimination laws by stipulating that only females may apply for jobs there, followed by an obvious publicity stunt from a trendy Ponsonby bar looking to do the same. We've had a CEO…

Robert Half’s Utopian Recruitment Bubble

A couple of weeks ago a video from Customise Consulting caused a bit of a stir on this blog with its amusingly provocative jabs towards the traditional, corporate, recruitment agency model. This week I came across another video about being a recruitment consultant, but this one is actually from one…
