Ok, I give up…what are you?
Hi guys, So, I’ve been away for quite a while, been super busy on a whole host of different products. Its been on my mind for some time to put the perverbial pen to paper, so here we are. And for now, I am going to start with a question. I’ve been working with a [...]
Why job boards will pay you
Having reviewed Pete Gold’s amazing blog (http://blog.hirestrategies.co.uk) I had to share with you to try and continue the debate around recruitment, evolution, development and above all CHANGE. Pete has put together a series of blog entries regarding this and with his kind permission I have placed it below, so please feel free to join the [...]
Thank you Twitter
So, here I was, just playing around on Twitter when I really should be doing some work and stumbled across the equivalent of a ‘repost’ on Twitter. @GLHoffman had reposted a blog entry that I’d missed when published by Seth Godin. (For those who don’t know him, he’s one of these people that if he [...]
Well Done Jessops (and its investors and bank manager!)
The past 12 to 18 months have seen a steady stream of headlines barracking company bosses about their lack of feeling regarding the people on the front line – the employees. The high street employer, Jessops (the Camera shop) has recently announced that due to a debt restructuring agreement with HSBC and whilst this is really bad news for anyone that has an ounce of equity within the business it guarantees the safety and security of up to 2000 jobs.
Job hunters, it’s YOUR duty………
Firstly to any followers I am sorry that I haven’t been around a great deal, however, I am now back and with even more opinions on what is right and wrong in the world of jobs, employment and at the moment the role the job hunter plays. In the UK, our biggest selling ragtop; The [...]
Text Talk
So, is this the sign of things to come? A story in this morning’s Sun Newspaper has highlighted perhaps a change of tide in the way that applicants will apply for jobs. Hot off the back of Twitter’s 140 characters, mobile phone firm Teimlo (http://www.teimlo.com/news/61-were-hiring-by-text.html) has set wanna be workers a unique challenge – tell us [...]
Employer Branding; A List Style!
Now that’s what I call opportunist Employer Branding! Thank you to one of my Twitter followers (I’m @ja_smith) for sending this to me! I am unsure of the exact Burger chain, as I am pretty sure that the delectable Gisele didn’t charge for her product endorsement! Either way, I hope the HR manager was given [...]
Sorry, we’re closed… and skint.
Earlier this week, Personnel Today produced an article that has appeared to have been lost in cyberspace, when it should have in fact sent shivers down the spine of the entire recruitment industry. Surveys/Reports/Investigations are often not worth the paper they’re written on, however, this one seems to have an element of common sense behind [...]
A great scheme to beat the Summertime Blues
Once again, Employers and Employees are making headlines. Today it’s for a very good reason and I think that Kellogg’s should be applauded! Not only has this already been in place for six years, but due to the increase in use of Employer Branding, some bright spark in Public Relations has decided to share the [...]
Every little helps, and this certainly does…
Twitter really is a wonderful idea, and whilst I am slightly sceptical on its ability to add any ‘real’ value to my professional life I have enough scepticism to at least carry on using it! I received a ‘Tweet’ today via Peter Gold of Hire Strategies announcing that Tesco have recently launched their new Career [...]
