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 [...]

Recruiter Q&A

June 15, 2011 by Andie Hill

For some recruitment businesses, the decision to undertake PR can be a hard one. Recruitment is hugely result driven and ROI is easily measurable. PR is different, and can take some time to see results. With this in mind, we thought we’d feature a Q&A with a recruiter who uses PR, and why they do so. [...]

Facebook – damaging candidate’s chances. A true story.

August 19, 2010 by Steph King

I came across an article on HR Zone recently claiming that social media is feared by some graduate recruiters. Why?

Recruitment and corporate image…yawn!

November 29, 2009 by Tracey Dunn

I look at loads of recruitment websites – and loads of recruitment brochures. And most of them are deadly dull. Now I know, as someone who has a lot of involvement in producing content for such things, that’s a pretty controversial statement. But it’s true.  And it’s mainly because a lot of recruiters all say the [...]

TECHNOLOGY – FRIEND OR FOE ?

November 1, 2009 by Tracey Dunn

If I read one more article about how technology is going to put traditional recruitment firms out of business, I think I might weep (with frustration). I have a few grey hairs ( well quite a lot actually) and I get so bored with the same old scaremongering thats trotted out during every recession! Now [...]

WHO CARES ABOUT CANDIDATES

October 26, 2009 by Tracey Dunn

I was chatting to Alan Whitford recently of RCEuro . To any innocent eavesdropper it would have sounded like an episode of grumpy old men/woman. You see Alan and I are from the old school of recruiters – before technology, before faxes – hell even before electronic typewriters. But during the last twenty odd years [...]
