Are you a sad, mad, ‘Recruiting Tragic’?

What is a ‘recruiting tragic’? A ‘recruiting tragic’ is a person who can’t help bringing most things in life back to… recruiting….or recruitment… or recruiters. I admit to being guilty. I know many others in the sad club. We don’t want to be like this. We don’t speak of our affliction. It’s just in our […]

The best Recruiter Christmas party in the history of recruitment!

He gave his staff a 20% salary increase. In a pandemic!

Who gives their entire team a 20% salary increase in a pandemic? And why would you tell everyone on your team, ‘Hey we will pay you for five days work a week. But please, only work four days”? Precision Sourcing did this last week. Why would they do that? What is the thinking behind this […]

How can Agency Recruiter and Internal Talent Acquisition work better together? As I so classily say in the webinar, it is currently so often a ‘ vicious cycle […]

A Savage ‘Christmas Special’. Australia, NZ & the U.K.

The Savage Truth Book is closing in on 10,000 copies sold. I have no idea if that’s any good, but it’s about 9,500 more than my pre-publishing estimate.

What ‘The Dark Ages of Recruitment’ can teach us post-COVID

Every second article I see is about how recruitment will change post-COVID. Mostly it’s BS as the majority of recruiters will go back and do exactly as they have always done. I explained that here.

Remember! The candidate is assessing you too.

Recruiters, Inhouse and Agency, sometimes lapse into hubris and complacency. This, we know. Don’t take offence. It’s a fact. I have been guilty myself. The candidate experience has been a disaster for decades, ironically made exponentially worse by all the Wizz-bang technology tools, added in to ‘enhance the process’. But now it’s potentially much worse. […]
