If I had a dollar for every time a recruiting manager told me they cannot find high-quality consultants, I guess I would be a wealthy man. Equally, when I talk to corporate hiring managers, they constantly bemoan the shortage of quality talent. Yet, when I ask what they are doing about capturing the best staff […].

Good morning Recruiters of New Zealand. A quick and early one from me today as I’m off to Nelson with Sean for my 40th for some reflective beach walks and perhaps a little bit of sampling of the local refreshments. It’s a welcome break. My head’s slightly frazzled from putting together a long-list for a senior role in Auckland that I’m working on at the moment.

Making your social media accounts stand apart is a challenge, especially with so many recruiting handles out there. Twitter has become an essential platform to engage with your audience, but it’s hard shine in an overwhelming sea of information, updates and refreshing timelines. Some companies, however, have mastered Twitter for recruiting, breaking out unique accounts devoted solely to talent acquisition.

As our workforce evolves, so must the way we support it. With more employees choosing to work beyond age 65, HR leaders are increasingly being called upon to guide aging employees through one of the most complex transitions in their professional lives - from employer sponsored plans to Group Medicare. Without clear guidance, confusion around eligibility, coverage options, and cost implications can lead to uncertainty and missed opportunities for optimized benefits.

It’s still early days, but I’m starting to sense something of a power shift in the finely balanced egos and nuances of the recruitment agency hierarchy. A quiet revolution is building, a revolution taken to the preening, strutting, client-facing business developers by the hitherto subservient candidate managers and resourcers. Particularly in the job-heavy, talent-short industry sectors such as Technology and Engineering, the currency of an agency’s success is in the quality o

Today’s job seekers have a lot of choice for jobs. They’re also busy and worried about making the right career choice. Is it any wonder they’re harder and harder for talent pros to source and engage? If your organization has open positions, your job descriptions (and job titles) need to be on point, easy to digest and sell not only your open positions but your organization and employer brand, too.

Build a candidate pipeline; we hear it all the time. It seems to be second on many recruiters’ priority list, right behind getting a position filled. A plethora of candidates you have an on-going relationship with, whose skill sets you understand and, if given the opportunity you could easily place. It sounds pretty great. The problem is a lot of recruiters think they are building a pipeline when, in fact, they are building a reservoir.

I have verbalised strong views on job boards over the years.
