“Recruitment Entrepreneur” lands in NZ. What the hell is it?

It started with a LinkedIn connection request from a chap called Steve Tolen. Then a post from Tribe announcing themselves as "Regional Partners" for "Recruitment Entrepreneur", shortly followed by a job ad for a Country Director for the same organisation. And then several conversation with recruitment leaders who have either…

Recessions aren’t what they used to be. Not like the good old days.

I sometimes blog about key performance indicators in Recruitment. I blog about a lot of stuff I suppose, most of which is barely relevant to recruitment. More likely, my blogs serve as a vehicle for my cheap gags and semi-marxist agenda. Today however is a blog about Recruitment. It's also…

How much do Recruiters really earn?

Writing a blog the morning after a Rice PowWow is often a challenge. 3 hours sleep, the alcohol-induced brain fog, shaky hands fumbling across the keyboard - all whilst trying to be both entertaining and relevant to the recruitment community. This morning I have no such problems however. At 41…

The names in the below blog have been changed to protect the innocent...and the guilty. Screening my recent ad applicants I came across the CV of an experienced recruiter. Believe it or not, in the world of Rec-to-Rec this can be a rare occurrence. Typically, my CRM is filled with…

The Best Thing About Being a Recruiter (and why some never experience it)

And I'm back. Some of you may have noticed that the whiteboard marker has been wielded by pensmiths Mr J.Rice and Ms A.Lee over the last few weeks. The reason being was a much needed bit of R&R in Fiji for yours truly. To be frank, it's been one hell…

Well, here I am. In the absence of Sean and soon to be Jon, I’m writing the blog. In the 8+ years I have worked for Rice Consulting, the purist tradition is that ones weekly musings are pounded out the same morning it is published, powwow hangover or not. Personally,…

Remaining Relevant in Recruitment

Hello from Wellington. Your usual recruitment raconteur is tormenting the eardrums of Fijian resort staff (and fellow holidaymakers, probably) so it's down to me to jump back to The Whiteboard and keep our 13+ years recruitment blogging streak going.

WPIs (Weird Performance Indicators)

As of yesterday, it's official. After two successive quarters of negative GDP growth, Aotearoa is now in the grips of a recession. Well, when I say "grips", it's more the kind of "grip" displayed by that unplaceable candidate's handshake. With unemployment currently sitting at around "nobody", this feels very much…

Do you have to be “competitive” to be a Recruiter?

When I get bored of the sound of my own voice, I occasionally ask candidates interview questions. One that I occasionally ask is; "Do you consider yourself a competitive person?". Why I ask this I don't know, but I suppose it fills the void of awkward and uncomfortable silence, before…
