The biggest recruitment selfie… ever!

Friday 27th February 2015, Hilton Hotel, Sydney. 300 recruiters packed in for my recruitment master-class, ‘Will the new golden era of recruitment pass you by?’ And I mean packed in.

In recruitment, everybody sells, baby!

I read recently some ‘recruitment expert’ advising owners of recruitment companies to phase out ‘billing managers’ and to allow a team of ‘dedicated managers’ to simply ‘run’ the business’. Now, how should I put this as calmly as I can? OK, this will have to do. Bullshit! In Australia, New Zealand and the UK, 90% […]
