Is LinkedIn Losing Its Way?

Hey LinkedIn. What are you up to? You're the professional social network that is supposed to be the future of recruitment... Are you finding it difficult to juggle being the altruistic nirvana for professional networking and a publicly listed corporation monetising and commercialising left, right and centre to to sate your voracious…

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…

Recruiters and Rocket Scientists

Anyone can do recruitment. It isn't exactly rocket science, right? Heard that good old chestnut before? Of course you have. How about the fact that there's no barriers to entry in recruitment? (Yawn). That all we're doing is chucking ads up on job boards (ok some are, hopefully many others…

SEEK eats LinkedIn for Breakfast

Quick one this week. As you read this I should be well on my way to the mountain to show my kids snow for the first time. Hopefully there's a spare carrot somewhere in Ohakune for the snowman's nose. It was good to see a number of you at the LinkedIn…

The coffee-drinking David vs. the cold-calling Goliath

Having to follow on from Sean Walters’ epic blog offering featured last Friday on the Whiteboard, I must admit to approaching this entry with a degree of trepidation. It’s not that I think I’m less entertaining or insightful than Sean, it’s just these characteristics are best displayed in a face…

Recruiting in Australia: Is the Grass Always Greener?

I had to laugh earlier this week when driving in to work. Carol Ramos, the US correspondent on Marcus Lush's breakfast show, was telling him how up in arms they are in America over the Australian Defence Force's recent attempts to recruit US military personnel into their own military with…
