#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…

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.

Vote for Pedro Recruitment

So the annual SEEK awards must be getting close again. So far I have been implored by eleven different recruitment companies to bestow my individual vote upon them, via email, LinkedIn and Twitter.

The Cult of Job-Hop Happy Recruiters

Wow, what a storm last night. I hope everyone out there in recruitment land is safe and sound this morning, especially the icy South and our wind torn capital. Quick one from me today as I'm working from home this morning. No we're not snowed in in Auckland, although the…

Recruitment SEEKonomics

There's an intriguing range of wild and wacky economic indicators being bandied about by some lighter-hearted economists these days. Have you heard about burgernomics and the Big Mac Index that measures the currency level of a nation against it's average Big Mac price? (NZ is bang on the money). Or…
