Recruitment is no longer just about recruitment consultants, thankfully…

November 5, 2009 – 9:57 am

I saw a blog post by the MD of a major recruitment company discussing how it was the preserve of recruitment companies to find people jobs. The comment was, “People find people jobs, not job boards”. I thought it worth while reposting my thoughts here because it is basically all we are all about as a company… Agreed, people find people jobs, not job boards, but those “people” no longer have to be traditional recruiters, but the hiring managers and the… Read More »

Can Twitter end the recession?

August 19, 2009 – 8:25 am

Twitter’s is never out of the news, whether with rallying cries against those damn Yankees criticising the NHS or the power of citizen journalism helping mobilise radical thought in Iran. But I can’t help feeling its mighty PR machine has missed a trick by not ascribing Twitter’s influence over the gradual global recovery from recession.

April 3, 2009 – 12:22 pm

The constant theme in these posts is that recruitment advertising is not going to come back as it was before, what is needed now is to look at alternative ways to increase revenues from a decreasing space. I hope I have added food for thought with previous posts about lateral revenues, outsource and out-placement opportunities, and headhunt services. In my first post I touched on online recruitment fairs. I want to return to this in more detail as an excellent opportunity to extend the job board… Read More »

Recruitment advertising – how to sell when the client says "we're not recruiting"

February 12, 2009 – 11:57 am

Posted 12th February 2009 Recruitment sales has had it pretty easy – there I said it. I am not saying it has been all rosy (I should know, I launched a “not very successful” job board for a legal publisher a few years ago), but the sector has benefited from year on year growth since its inception.
