I was born on the 24th of March 1988, christened Natasha Maria Foster and for the next 25 years largely called by that name, or some close variation of. Then I started working in recruitment and suddenly, inexplicably, my name became Natalie. It is still one of my favourite things, to post an advert calling for candidates with strong attention to detail and be flooded by emails proudly stating one’s such ability – addressed to the wrong name.

The only thing that makes reading through the never-ending stack of resumes bearable is the odd misprint or typo that makes us crease up with laughter. These examples from JobMob have us wondering if people were ever taught to read their work before handing it in!

It’s obvious. Much of recruitment is changing, very fast. We may not like it, but that is the fact. Technology most obviously, but also candidate behavior and client expectations.

This week saw the resignation of Leader of the Opposition and former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Bill English. In language common only to politicians and sports team managers, Bill will be looking forward to “spending more time” with his family, and pursuing as-yet-to-be-announced endeavors outside of politics/football. Again in typical fashion, tributes have poured in from those who once wouldn’t have pissed on ol’ Bill even if he was on fire.
