"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…"

"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…"

"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…"

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…"

Kunal Malhotra replied to Paul Jacobs's discussion The Future of the Job Board?

Kunal Malhotra replied to Paul Jacobs's discussion Are Passive Candidates better than Active Candidates?
