Who Cares What the Job Ad Says?

Most of you won't read every word on this blog post. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if most of you do much more than skim-read over the content here, casting your well-trained CV-reading eyes at speed from section to section looking for the key bits of interest that might…

The End of Jobs (.co.nz)

This week we were greeted with the sad announcement from Jobs.co.nz that they had placed themselves into voluntary liquidation. Sad, from a few different angles really. A product that caused barely a ripple on the Australasian market dominance of SEEK ultimately failed in its' bid to change the prescribed and traditional way…

Is Twitter Really a Recruiting Tool?

A ball boy lies on top of a football in the dying minutes of a 2-match tie in which his underdog team are beating European Champions Chelsea, deliberately wasting time, the complete opposite of what his job is to actually do. The frustrated footballer pokes the ball out from under…

Facebook Leaps into LinkedIn’s Recruiting Sandpit

At the recent Recruiter's HUB conference here in Auckland, Paul Jacobs delivered an afternoon session where everyone had to clump together into groups depending on which social media platform they believed held the future for effective sourcing and recruitment. The largest group, predictably, was the sharp-suited LinkedIn gathering, gazing upon…

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…

Pinterest: The best social recruiting tool since LinkedIn

Good Friday to you all - ahaha. Obviously being Easter time not many of you will be reading this, having swapped your Friday doses of Whiteboard news, views and general tittle tattle for groaning traffic jams en route to rain soaked campsites but hey, it's still Friday, so I still…

What Internal Recruiters Really Want From Agencies

Nice to see so many of you at the SEEK bash at Auckland Art Gallery last night. An interesting venue that certainly went a long way to refining the more debauched hedonism of the SEEK Annual Recruitment Awards at the tail end of 2011 (sadly). And who says we recruiters are…

New Zealand Recruitment CEO’s Speaking Out (without saying too much)

Earlier this week saw a sizeable gathering of Auckland's recruitment community for a breakfast panel presentation with a clutch of New Zealand's recruitment leaders. Hosted by the cheeky, chirpy James Cozens we were treated to 90 minutes of valuable insights, leathery bacon, worthwhile reminders and a smattering of smug back-patting and…
