We’ve all had these weeks. the Head of Engineering comes strolling by the Talent Acquisition team one fine Monday morning and nonchalantly says, “Hey team, we are planning for the build out of a new product and need to hire 20 engineers and 7 technical architects over the next 3 months.” Oh no! We know two things: we don’t have those candidates in the pipeline and our team can’t handle that kind of volume on short notice.

My son recently turned eight years old, and because his birthday falls in July during the summer months, our family generally seizes this opportunity to throw a low-cost party in our backyard rather than laying down a small fortune for the latest laser tag / foam ball pit / inflatable bounce house venue. As a result, I usually scour Pinterest to come up with a suitable party theme complete with activities to engage kiddos ranging from four to nine (when you count siblings).

Hourly jobs are the primary entry into the job market for many first-time job seekers. That means a slew of newbies flood job boards, respond to ‘help wanted’ ads, and submit resumes, hoping to score interviews with restaurant, retail, and hospitality managers. The problem is that most applicants new to the job hunt are woefully unprepared for what to expect, and how to conduct themselves, during the interview process.

I flew to England last weekend on something of a busman’s holiday that, when factoring in the unscheduled landing in Bali to jettison a sick child and consequent rush through Dubai airport to make the connecting flight, was pretty much 28 hours on a plane. This provides an unbridled opportunity to just think, and my mind wandered, as we flew over places like Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Turkey about the new world of work I was flying above.

Culture fit is trending again—but not in a good way. In the 70s, organizational psychologist John Morse conducted an experiment on company culture fit and found that workers whose personalities matched their jobs felt more confident about their job performance. In the 90s, hiring for culture fit hit the mainstream. Southwest Airlines famously screened job candidates based on their willingness to provide offbeat, fun experiences for passengers.

Quick one from me today as I’m more snowed under than the South Island. I enjoyed an article shared by SEEK yesterday about Trust in the Workplace and the startling statistic that 83% of kiwis did not trust all of their colleagues. It got me thinking about the recruitment industry and how central the theme of trust is in everything that we do.

Finding the right talent in 2016 may be more difficult than at any other time in recent memory. In fact, research by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) shows that more than two-thirds of today’s hiring companies cannot find the right candidates they’re looking for. That number is up from half of all hiring companies surveyed in 2015.

We live in an era of branding, where a company is defined by, and judged on, the actions of its team. Never before has the role of employees been so important in a customer’s experience, and thus, their perception of a company. That's because social media amplifies the positive or negative impact of service – the experiences of one individual reverberates throughout their social media channels, and sometimes well beyond.

During the interview process, there’s a significant amount of heat on candidates when it comes to fielding questions to prove that they’re a good fit for an open role within a particular business.

Numbers. I have a complicated relationship with them. Sometimes I love them. Most of the time though, I despise them. The use of numbers can tell us a great deal about the world. There is a beauty in that they are very simple to understand and comprehend. They are finite, not swayed by one opinion or another. Throughout my life, I have competed on a worldwide level for many laser tag championships.
