Great article.
As I work in rec 2 rec covering the Singapore and Hong Kong market I would completely agree with this. I do think however, having spoken to a number of recruitment agencies and search firms in the region that in a lot of cases locally…

Dee Allan commented on Pierre Gervois's blog post 'The art of hiring a Chinese Market Sales Manager'
Interesting article. Some decent tips in there. Although i would argue that having Mandarin proficiency is fairly important to navigate the Chinese market on a holistic level. Having recruited for this market, there is something to be said about…
Dee Allan commented on Bill Boorman's blog post 'Social Learning - The Future Of Training?'
Good blog Bill. I agree with your comments about social learning or classroom web 2.0 being a major medium to deliver training and resources. It will be interesting to see the 'up-take' of e-learning in recruitment (which by the way is not…

@Gerry - I was half expecting an Alanis Morissette-like production from you after your recent trip to India http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUmQXnBPeb0 ;-)

Thanks Dee, interesting post. I would add that a Consultant who has the opportunity to work in another country expands and develops their skill set, which ultimately benefits their clients. Having worked in the US, UK and Australia means I have…

I couldn't agree more. And the more separate you are from other countries and cultures the greater the disparity. You inferred but didn't actually state #11 that when you, return having faced those challenges you spoke of, your persepctive…
Home Based V’s Overseas Recruiter
Irecently interviewed a Consultant for a position based in our Singaporeoffice, and that interview provided inspiration for this blog. Recruitment is recruitment right? On the face of it, it’s as simple as finding the right person for the right job. However, it’s the person behind thistask who plays a vital role in either increasing or decreasing thechances of that ‘right fit’ being made.I have come to the conclusion that a Consultant who recruits for overseas markets, and/or is based in…See More

Tru Unconferences reach Africa
I’m not a tree hugger, well I am, but not in the ‘protest and chain myself to a bark for the day’ type of tree hugger. However I do believe in karma of sorts. Allow me to take recruitment down the spiritual path for a sentence or two.So we are all connected, from the small ant to the great white. Indeed someone told me once that if it weren’t for ants, the human race would not exist (something about the biological ecosystem community, I have no idea, and haven’t got round to wikapedia to see…See More

Career Planning…. New Years Resolutions
For those who read my blog, you'll know I've recently changed jobs, and I've been pretty slack in posting here in the last year. Some will say "again?" others have been congratulatory, I have to say it has been an interesting experience. I'm 37 years old and I'm into my 5th professional job (not counting the moss farming, kitchen hand and service station attendant during University and high school). Being the new boy again, facing those nerves of the unknown, will they like me? will I…

5 Recruitment Career Killers...
I meet with a number of Recruitment Consultants every week who are looking to move on from their current position, or step up to their next opportunity… I probably speak with a further 10, or more on the phone….
And, to be perfectly honest I’m lucky if I meet with one a week who I consider a good, old fashioned ‘A’ Candidate…
It’s not to say that these candidates are not fantastic on paper… On paper most of these candidates look great…. On…

If I could turn back time...... or, re-create history....
Conjures up images of Cher and that song - that charted at number 1 in Australia and Norway, number 3 in the United States and number 6 in the United Kingdom.
And that music video set on the USS Missouri with Cher straddling a cannon, and wearing a fishnet body stocking…. But that’s not what I want to talk about…
I was representing a candidate to the market last week. A candidate that I thought was very strong… You know the type: a walking…
