Father Xmas is a Girl ;-)

Here at Elfland we have been inundated with CVs for the Father Xmas role. In fact so many CVs that we have had to close our applications early. A copy of the ad can be seen hereA worrying factor was that over 40 of the responses to our Trade me advertisement were “serious” ones.However, the stand out winner by far was Allison Doody and I am repeating her job application in full.

Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose

There has been so much chatter and twitter about Social Networks replacing job boards, recruitment agencies dying out as technology takes over, and candidate care (or lack of it) that it has made me stop and think and, while thinking, that French phrase – in English “the more it changes, the more it’s the same thing” came to mind.30 years ago, I was a young London based accountant and applied to Michael Page (recruitment agency) for an auditing role they had advertised. The consultant saw…See More

Job Seekers have beating hearts

I was fortunate to attend a Recruitment Association lunch recently - not because the food was good and the orange juice and coffee flowed, but because the speaker was Nan Carroll, who has been part of the Recruitment Industry for many years, and who gave us food for thought.It was not one of those "Oh my goodness, I never knew that" revelation type presentations, but it reminded those attending of some fundamentals of growing and retaining good recruitment business.The title of her talk was "Is…See More
