Greg Savage When it comes to public speaking, preparation saves perspiration

For all my blog posts on recruitment and staffing please visit 'The Savage Truth" Currently I am speaking to large groups of recruiters at RCSA events around Australia and New Zealand, on the topic of ‘Riding the Recovery’. Feedback has been good I am relieved to say, and on several occasions people have remarked how ‘relaxed’ my presentation style is, and how lucky I am that public speaking ‘comes so easily to me’. Well, as the famous… Continue

Hassan Rizwan Should recruiters develop their own assessment tools or outsource the task?

A few days back, we ran a discussion on several social networking platforms to reach out to the recruiting community and asked them if recruiters should develop their own assessment tools or hire the services of assessment specialists. A strong majority shared the same idea – focus on what you do best i.… Continue

Dan Nuroo Celebrity Spotting

Interesting week here in Melbourne town this week. A mid November heatwave, the likes of which have not been seen before I wouldn't think. Seriously in the pool this week, unheard of! Not complaining mind you. Britney Spears arrived in Australia, to lipsinc her way through a National tour. Great strategy arriving, with decoy Britneys, body guards and a gratuitous amount of press coverage. Both good and bad. Tiger Woods hits our fair shores, causing golfing havoc and traffic bedlam. Rarely have… Continue

Saleem Qureshi Are you starting to make money in recruitment again?

I don’t mean the nickels and dimes, I mean are you starting to make some serious money that you made earlier in this decade? If not then, maybe you should see how to reposition yourself. The first thing you should do when repositioning yourself is understand where the economy is heading and what the economy will demand in the coming quarters. One of the best resources for recruiters who want to follow recruitment trends is the Monster Employment Index. This is a real-time review of millions of e… Continue

Hassan Rizwan Experts or Performers? Make a choice

Just last week, a friend asked a question about the way I classify employees with respect to what they deliver to their organizations. So I decided to write a post about it. When thinking about the candidates organizations may be interested in hiring, I like to keep things simple and classify them… Continue

Dan Nuroo Sleep when I'm dead

Driving in my car today, in what turned out to be a drive down nostalgia lane. I'd hit THAT radio station, you know the one which somehow talked to me... it kept playing song after song, which just reminded me of my younger carefree days. This song came on, merging my current reality with my willful past... Magic. Here I was signing out loud, probably scaring my son for life, and then I started hearing the lyrics, and my mind started tying them in with tweets and emails about… Continue

Hassan Rizwan What is Professionalism and how to Judge it?

Professionalism, a term commonly used for managers and has difficult meanings in the dictionary (Don’t even want to go through them). I derived a completely new definition of professionalism based on my experience. Ok, I know, many of you may not agree but this is the best definition to me and helps to… Continue

Although the survey is only a small sample of Recruitment Agencies across Australia & New Zealand, I have grouped together the past 2 survey results, to better represent any trends over the past 6 months.

Thomas Shaw Rejecting Candidates based on IP Address

We now rely on using technology in the recruitment process more than ever. But should we place 100% of our trust in rejecting candidates based solely on their IP address? While browsing a number of job sites this morning, I spotted an interesting function on an overseas job board. The underlying job board software pre qualifies candidates based on their location (IP address).

Greg Savage Job Boards don’t find people jobs. People find people jobs

For all my posts on recruitment issues please see 'The Savage Truth' We are going to recover from this downturn, and when we do, the talent shortage is going to be more severe than anything we experienced a year or two ago. Finding talent, connecting with those talent and building talent communities is going to be what separates the winners from the losers in the recruitment industry, in my opinion. Sourcing talent will become far more… Continue

Aaron Dodd A Heart-felt Thank You to Contingent Recruiters Everywhere!

Much has been written of late about the many flaws in the contingent recruitment business model. Last week I experienced first-hand just how seriously poor the model is. Those that promulgate it and try to run their recruitment businesses with it will ultimately fail their businesses, clients and candidates. They also act as the best advertising money can’t buy for those recruiters who operate with better proven exclusive and ideally, retained models. The case story follows; Preamble; Mindset o… Continue

Greg Savage Why clients give out orders in competition… and why it’s wrong for everybody!

For all my blog posts on recruitment please visit The Savage Truth There is an elephant in the room when it comes to the basic business model of our industry. People don’t talk about it much, yet it’s a fundamental flaw in the relationship between client and recruiter, and it drives poor service and lack of satisfaction for all parties. Multi-listing of job orders across multiple agencies, and recruiters accepting briefs on a contin… Continue
