Trade Me Jobs claims victory over Seek but who is really #1 for Recruiters?

Back in August 2009 Trade Me Jobs announced with much glee and hand-rubbing that they had, for the first time, surpassed Seek on domestic page impressions. The then head of Trade Me Jobs, Jimmy McGee, said that: “Our next goal is to beat Seek on local unique browsers. We’re well…

Momentum Hits Back After Wilce Inquiry Goes Public

At last. Yesterday saw the public release of the very catchy sounding report “The Circumstances into which Mr Stephen Wilce was employed as Director of the Defence Technology Agency”. For any of you who have been living under rocks lately, this report is of significant interest to our New Zealand…

A Glimpse at the Hays “social media policy”

I’m going to kick things off this week with an apology to Seek and their ex-GM of NZ Annemarie Duff. Last week the question was asked whether she had had a dig at Momentum in her speech at the recent Seek Awards, as was the rumour I had heard. Feedback…

Seek’s annual 2010 Recruitment Awards were held at the Hilton in Auckland last Friday night but you’d be hard pressed to know anything about it unless you were actually there. I’ve been keeping an eye out for a press release all week but there has been nothing on Seek’s actual…

I’m generally a pretty easy-going chap but there are some things, I’ll admit, that make my blood boil. Technology that won’t do my bidding or listen to reason and insist on freezing no matter how many times I press CTRL / ALT / DELETE. David Bentley at Spurs. Pretty much…

Talent 2 beat Hudson to it…and could estate agents be recruiters of the future?

Hudson harness Linked In to put themselves about town

OK let’s see a show of hands. Who out there received an “approach” from Hudson this week? No? Not you? Well either you aren’t a recruiter currently operating in New Zealand or Australia, or you haven’t adequately described and categorized yourself on your Linked In profile (I know there…

Fraudulent CV Saga starts to lack Momentum

Ali Dia arrived at English Premier League Southampton back in November 1996. He had been signed by the then manager, Graeme Souness, purely on the basis of some hazy video footage and a phone call, purportedly from World Footballer of the Year George Weah, claiming to be the cousin…

Movers and Shakers – Recruiting in Christchurch

To those recruiting in Christchurch, we salute you… When the earthquake rumbled up from 10km under the Canterbury plains last Saturday morning the lives of many New Zealanders were thrown into disarray and panic. But what has followed in the days since seems to be far, far worse. As…

RCSA New Zealand…is there a point?

Can anyone out there explain to me the reason for the RCSA in New Zealand? My business has been up and running for almost a year now and I have to say that the existence of the RCSA has only come into my consciousness four times during that period: 1st…
