Something I wrote in 2009 just might save your career now.

I wrote this blog in 2009, just as we were emerging from what we then considered to be a bad recession. LOL (Yes, that’s right, I have been writing blogs for your reading pleasure, every week, for over 10 years. Thanks for asking.) It could not be more relevant for us now, even if I […]

My post-COVID recruiting dream

As an industry, and as individuals, we have never had a better chance to change what we don’t like. To slaughter sacred cows. Smash our outdated, self- inhibiting paradigms. To configure our futures. Who is going to stop us? Who is even looking? The most significant waste of all will be to come back to […]

Recruitment Agency Owner? This will save your business.

Let’s keep this simple. Your agency must survive. Obviously. So that you don’t lose jobs, people, money, pride, your company, your house. Your accountants, advisors and colleagues are all throwing numbers and predictions and a myriad of ‘scenarios’ at you. Cash is disappearing. I know. I know. Take back some control. So you know what […]

My ‘COVID Commitment’ revealed. What is yours?

Never waste a good crisis. I am not being flippant. I know that for some, just surviving is the goal of this horrible time. For others, avoiding economic destruction is the focus. Health and jobs are the most important things to preserve. But most people will get through this with those two intact. That being […]

The sun will shine on recruitment again!

Recessions end (Note, this article was written in June 2020. Think what you were doing and feeling then!) This one will too. It will be a long, hard road, but we will recover. As a species. Economically. And the recruitment industry will bounce back too. I have been through five recessions. While I have no […]

The Crisis is a 42-kilometre marathon. You are at the 5-kilometre mark

Imagine this COVID Crisis is a marathon. It is 42 kilometres to get to the end. I estimate we are at the 5-kilometre mark. Please, be optimistic. I am. You will finish the marathon. But be realistic too. It’s a long, hard, painful journey. People are talking glibly about ‘green shoots‘. Green shoots are a […]

Dump this recruitment baggage now!

Last week I delivered the opening session of the RCSA ReForm Conference with industry legend Geoff Morgan. (He founded Morgan and Banks and Talent2 and has done much more besides) The video is restricted to paying conference attendees, but here are some sound bites as quoted by Shortlist.net.au,  Australia’s leading source of recruitment industry news.

4 placements in 6 weeks lock-down. The plan here!

Every single day I get emails, tweets and LinkedIn messages from recruiters, all asking much the same thing; What should I be doing right now? How can I be productive in lockdown? Occasionally, people write to me saying how much my advice has helped them. That’s gratifying because that is why I produce it. This […]

The feedback on this webinar is that it helps recruiters who are running out of ideas. It gives them a plan and structure and specific action points Many recruiters find themselves paralysed by uncertainty and apprehension. But it’s time to act, and the webinar shares how. Run by my good friends at Videomyjob it covers; […]

You can talk – but do you have anything to say?

Every day I am asked, ‘what skill do I need during this crisis’? ‘Many‘, is the trite answer. But this one, for sure. To shine in this crisis, and the subsequent recovery, you must build a compelling narrative. And this skill has implications far beyond our current situation. This goes to the heart of the […]
