Old Dogs and New Tricks: my take on social media in recruitment

October 28, 2011 by Tracey Dunn

  I have attended two recruitment in social media events recently and although I thought I was fairly social media savvy – I definitely learned some interesting new stuff showing that you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks! The first was the UK Recruiter and  HB RIDA Directors’ Networking Event. The first presentation [...]

Is good customer service dead and buried?

October 20, 2011 by Steph King

You only have to glance online to hear nightmare stories of poor customer service, and like most of us I have had my fair share. Only last week I had the ‘pleasure’ of flying Ryanair and experienced its awful service. Whilst I understand the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’ – surely speaking to [...]

There’s a drumming inside my head …and it’s social media

September 2, 2011 by Tracey Dunn

I have just returned from just under three weeks away.  I had a great time travelling around the States.  And as I always do when I am on holiday, I take my blackberry but I turn off data roaming. No e-mail, no Twitter, no Facebook…. and definitely no logging on to free wifi ..nothing.  And [...]

When PR is more important than principles

August 26, 2011 by Sara Doron

This week, David Rowat was fired from his job at Argos for taking to Facebook to have a moan about a bad day at work. Now, we don’t need to tell you that it’s inadvisable to badmouth your employer on social networks. It’s about as subtle as writing “I hate my job” on your forehead [...]

Why people power did not close The News of the World

July 12, 2011 by Tracey Dunn

I bought the last copy of The News of The World last Sunday. Not because I supported the paper in any way shape or form but, from a professional point of view, I wanted to own a piece of publishing history. I can’t remember a time in my whole life ( almost half a century)  an instance [...]

Etiquette

Connectiquette

July 1, 2011 by Andie Hill

Having just heard the new phrase ‘Connectiquette’ I decided to look into the etiquette of managing connections online. Technology has brought us all closer together.  Social networks have provided platforms making it easy to connect with long-lost friends and family, new friends, business colleagues and other people who have similar interests, aspirations and goals. They [...]

Unmarketing & sexy thinking – my take on Jobsite’s Fresh Thinking event

May 27, 2011 by Tracey Dunn

I had the pleasure of being one of the guests at  Jobsite’s Fresh Thinking event on Wednesday. I wasn’t sure what to expect.  I see myself as fairly social media savvy and so wasn’t sure that I would learn anything new. What I forgot was that sometimes you may not learn anything  new – but you  [...]

People take Facebook very seriously

Are we headed for a brand backlash?

December 8, 2010 by Sam Woodward

The internet is a wonderful thing. Online shopping has enabled me to so far buy all of my Christmas presents without physically visiting a single shop, and thanks to Facebook I know that my friend in America is having a baby and has put up her Christmas tree. But when it comes to businesses and [...]

Insult your boss on Facebook, and then take them to court!

November 12, 2010 by Steph King

I blogged recently about candidates ruining their chances of securing a role due to their actions on social networking sites – namely Facebook. We have also heard about employees being fired due to theircomments on social networking sites. But now it seems that the tables are turning and employees are fighting back. But is this [...]
