Good ideas, it would certainly benefit many individuals and the industry as a whole to have a minimum learning requirement to become a recruiter. I think an intial course explaining moral code and ethics would be a great start. Apart from that th...

An industry regulator will never work unless it is backed by legislation. Unfortunately we are in an industry with few barriers to entry, so cowboys flourish (especially in good times). The only thing that would work would be legislation and a lic...

I don't think I ever mentioned an industry regulator? :) My suggestion was to have a basic foundation for the new entrants... a kind of elementary school for the newbies, at least to help them initially .... and the rest of the industry in the me...

It interests me the question of whether you need industry hands on knowledge to be proficient in Recruiting people for it. My theory on that is that my industry is Recruitment. I know people, I know culture. I've been hiring in the IT world for 12...

I agree with you I was an RN and I recruit RNs and that works out very well for all of us. I often encounter recruiters who think they can do Health Recruitiment because they see that as an "easy option" They see a shortage and think I can do that...

Should individual recruiters need to obtain a license to practice? I guess the problem with that approach is, taking a driver's license analogy, just because one has their driver's license doesn't necessarily mean they will always be a good driver...

I'm sure you would have tried internal referrals for this role. Perhaps you can take it one step further... Internal referral schemes as they are usually implemented within organisations have an inherent flaw such that employees only refer extern...

I appreciate your perspective Andrew... I suppose I should clarify my point as well... on occasion, we recruiters are labelled as "job board posters" because we can't understand or appreciate a client's requirements which certainly impacts our ab...

Hi Richard, It looks like a great beginning... it might be a good idea to turn this into a case study to inspire some of the other recruiters. Some regular information about what sort of usage you are seeing and how it is constantly helping you a...

Kunal Malhotra replied to Paul Jacobs's discussion 'Sources of Talent in Australia report findings - do you care?'
Interesting to read with a few caveats of course... I must say I'm a little confused about how you attribute placements just to the "internal recruiter" without also attributing it to another source???? I mean where does an internal recruiter find...

Kunal Malhotra replied to Paul Jacobs's discussion 'The Future of the Job Board?'
social recruitment? but isn't recruitment already social? anyways, in my opinion job boards will continue but will become less relevant as other mediums become more effective such as Linkedin and Facebook (not twitter at this stage I think... jur...

Kunal Malhotra replied to Paul Jacobs's discussion 'Are Passive Candidates better than Active Candidates?'
Not always but may be... This depends on different factors including the credibility of the source of the candidate, how much research has gone into headhunting passive candidates, the current state of the economy, track record of the candidate et...
