Be Nice To Your Recruiter

This week, in a moment of sheer frustration I sat at my desk and began penning a poem ‘Today, I hate recruitment.’ Riddled with truisms about clients who engage with all guns blazing then never call back, sourcing woes and candidate behaviour that verges on harassment, it was an angst-ridden…

Two Cents on Recruiter Incentives

I feel that I may be at risk of losing a readership akin to that of Nuts magazine by straying too far from anything football related however, I was inspired by a meeting this week with one of our newer Australian clients looking to set up in the CBD. I…

Have you ever been to a gay bar?

Well, have you? If you haven’t, it’s like a normal bar, except with house music and washboard stomachs. Being a fan of classic rock and too much beer, it’s these factors rather than any latent homophobia that tends to keep me away. However, on occasion, I’ve enjoyed the odd sojourn…

2018: Year of the #BossBitch

‘Girl Power’ was never not a thing for me. I grew up in the ‘90s, obsessing first over Matilda and The Baby-Sitter’s Club (a sassy group of entrepreneurial tweens who probably shouldn’t have been trusted with the level of responsibility they had) before growing up and into John Marsden’s Tomorrow,…

How Much is Your Office Costing You?

This week, one of our candidates made a career decision based primarily on office décor. They won’t admit this, but it’s the truth. And if you’re a recruitment business of a certain size, this week, one of your candidates did the same thing. The problem with this for recruiters, is…

The Hunger Game

Either I'm losing my touch, or Recruitment is getting harder. Once upon a time, I'd take a job brief, perform a quick search on the mobile database between my ears, and call an invariably keen candidate, all before I made it back to the office. A few cogs would turn,…

Can LinkedIn Activity Predict When Staff Might Quit?

There seem to be a lot of preemptive attacks being threatened these days. Although not quite as alarming as the belligerent posturing between Donald and Kim, a San Francisco company HiQ Labs is filing a preemptive lawsuit against LinkedIn to protect their access to publicly available profiles on the networking…

Can Artificial Intelligence Help Stupid Recruiters?

Yesterday was 4th May, but if you're a Star Wars fan then it was in fact May the 4th. As in May the 4th (be with you) etc. Laughter abounds. It did, however, also help provide the inspiration for the topic of the latest Wellington Recruitment Meet Up which tipped…

The Dichotomy of NZ Immigration

The topic of immigration, like tax, hospitals, and the obligatory tieless family photo, is a sure-fire sign that a general election is looming. Last week, in preparation for this contentious voter rouser, National announced their proposed changes to New Zealand’s immigration system. To cut a slightly dry story short, the…
