“un”ravelling culture and the position description

Again, Jonathan Rice is indulging his penchant for exotic travel, leaving me in charge of the whiteboard… Conference season has landed and rival codes appear to be refreshingly combative. Last night we saw the kindly mother-in-law of professional bodies HRINZ, up against the “as much use as a pork pie…

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 Recruitment Vacation Myth

Happy Independence Day to my American readers. I'll be making my own bid for freedom next week as I hot foot it to the South Pacific with the other J Rice and Ricicles in tow. At least this week of darkness, rain and biting winds in NZ has made it…

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…

7 Random Observations from Sourcing Summit NZ

Hands up if you were at the inaugural Sourcing Summit NZ at the Hilton in Auckland yesterday? Good for you. I hope you had fun, learned lots of stuff, met some people and have an equally fuzzy head as I do this morning. Now I have returned to my recruitment…
