If you love something…

The departure of our beloved Tash from the Rice team has had an inevitable knock-on effect. Aside from having absolutely no one to talk about the inner workings of Casa Amor or any aspect of Love Island, there is a slightly more frequent problem. I and Sean are now locked…

Just a formality

It’s safe to say that my working demeanor has somewhat relaxed since entering the rec to rec arena. This probably speaks to my client base. Previously, I was trying to bring some legitimacy to my unsolicited approach of property managers and architects. This meant looking like a Hallensteins mannequin and…

Recruitment, the Economy, and P.M.S

I was once in a relationship that was fantastic for 23 days out of every 28. She was incredibly sweet, kind and caring, right up until day 24. At this point she became a jealous, vindictive, spiteful monster. In my boyish naivety, it took me over 6 months to realise…

Wage Against The Machine

I’ve been in NZ for 6 years, 5 of which have been spent in this topsy turvy industry we call recruitment and although placements have been made in Wellington, Auckland is my focus and also my home. Not to alienate the Wellington readership but Auckland is amazing; gateway to the…

Where Did All the Candidate Managers Go?

Many of us would have started out our recruitment life as candidate managers/sourcing specialist/talent finders or any semantical variation of the former. It’s a tried and tested path trodden by many a recruiter with airtight logic; learn the market from the candidates. As a junior consultant, there is an obvious…

Witness The Homesickness

Charles Darwin would be proud of us consultants! Survival of the fittest at it’s finest. Like the nomad children of the Andaman sea who eyes have adapted to swimming underwater in search of food, we consultants will for sure pass on a thicker than average skin gene to our bloodline.…
