Christmas just ain’t the same anymore. Thankfully.

7 years ago, I wouldn't be writing this. Although we are religious in pumping a blog out every Friday, and have been for 12 years, should a Friday coincide with the last day of the year, we'd put up some mildly comedic photoshopped image and be done with it. Writing…

Recruitment Consultant Stereotypes: Which are you?

If you've been about Auckland City this week, you may have seen a sweaty 100kg man flying around on a moped. One minute, sweating under the sun like a paedophile in a playground, and the next, as wet as an otter's pocket. That man was me. Having temporarily taken over…

Who’d be a Rec to Rec?

I never wanted to work in Rec to Rec. In fact, of all the desks in recruitment, 12 years ago it would have been bottom of my list. It would have been so far down in fact, that I would have told you that I would have been a real…

This week's top employment story comes to us by way of Meta, the parent company of Facebook. Following disastrous advertising revenue in a post-Covid world, and heavy investment in creating a virtual world as this one is rubbish, Zuckerberg has had to give the old heave-ho to 11,000 workers globally.…

“Poaching” isn’t a dirty word. It’s just incorrect.

A recent post from the RCSA was highlighted to me today. Now I'm not one to read these things usually, but given their commendable involvement in dealing with the clowns at MBIE recently, I've taken a bigger interest in our(*) governing body of late (*yours, not mine). The post can…

You seeing many people coming from overseas? 🧐

It's a question that is at the back of a recruiters mind this time of year. Are we going to be able to place some stocking filler candidates of have we got to settle for coal again?

What’s in a name?

If you're reading this, you're one of the (un)lucky ones. It seems that my recent tirades against MBIE have both offended the quick-to-complain Procurement industry, as well us incurring the wrath of LinkedIn's anti-hate speech algorithms. My blog posts, which have typically been generating circa 15,000 impressions, are now generating…
