New Zealand Recruitment CEO’s Speaking Out (without saying too much)

Earlier this week saw a sizeable gathering of Auckland's recruitment community for a breakfast panel presentation with a clutch of New Zealand's recruitment leaders. Hosted by the cheeky, chirpy James Cozens we were treated to 90 minutes of valuable insights, leathery bacon, worthwhile reminders and a smattering of smug back-patting and…

The Whiteboard’s (Alternative) Recruitment Predictions for 2012

Hmmm, there seem to be rather a lot of predictions for 2012 wafting around the social media blogosphere in recent days. How on earth is one to know what to do with themselves as the impending end of 2011 looms ever closer? How can one prepare for the trials and tribulations…

The Return of Candidate Arrogance

This didn't happen to me. But it is a story related to me recently, and one that I can relate to very well. The candidate was booked in for interview. On paper they looked good for the role the recruiter was trying to fill and the phone screen had revealed encouraging…

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…

A Deepening Irrelevance of RCSA New Zealand

The Futility of Measuring ROI in Social Recruiting

Several things pointed to the fact that this month's HRINZ "Recruitment Special Interest Group" evening was going to be a little different from the usual offering.

“Different Thinking” from our Recruitment Leaders – a book review

In a world seemingly awash with business books, management texts and leadership essays it seems to me that there is a distinct dearth of quality, interesting and genuinely illuminating books relating to our unique recruitment industry.

Tell Me Why I Need a Facebook Recruitment Page

I think I have hit a bit of rocky patch in my relationship with Facebook. You know how it is when you’re in one of those relationships that seem to be getting bit old, a bit tired, somewhat stale? You either let it fizzle out entirely, or maybe you make…
