My Experience of…… The ‘WEIRD’ 2023 Jobs Market
At the time of writing this blog, employment is running at 76% And no matter what market you’re in, as an employer, you’ll feel & very much sense that tangibly when you recruit. It makes recruiting tough, competitive, very fast paced & caution does not favour a hesitant employer. So this short blog aims […]

Have ‘things’ really changed?
This is my first blog in 2yrs. I just lost my mojo for it. But I couldn’t seem to keep a lid on this one. Short & sharp – lets have it: It’s all I know & I seem to be OK at it (after 30yrs) but recruiting is so much less enjoyable than it […]

Post Lockdown Recruiting in this Jobs ‘Market’
Nu-Recruit, Jobs & the very different jobs ‘Market’….. I’m the most ancient of Recruiters. I’ve done this job for over 29yrs & since April 2021 I am still finding my feet & in fact its fair to say broadsided with the state of the jobs market since the Pandemic. If this is indeed, ‘Post’ pandemic. […]

Lockdown 3, The Permanent Jobs Market & Me!
Nu-Recruit, Permanent Jobs & the current fragile jobs ‘Market’….. I’ve got a smashing little business & as you’ve visited my jobs page (thank you), I thought I’d do a short – very honest – blog to explain why I’ve not many jobs on at the minute. I have thought lots about posting this but in […]

When You See That ‘Perfect’ CV……
My last blog was about my experiences with snappy, fast reacting, sharp candidates who reacted fast & made sure they got there first in the queue for the best jobs in the best employers……. ….and so it made sense to blog about the opposite side of recruitment: employers. Just what goes on ‘out there’ for […]

Candidates: Speed & Tenacity Wins The Day – Again!
A blog for candidates: Tenacity, Speed & decisiveness – again – wins the day. I’ve just placed a BELTER of a candidate. I place some absolute smashers & some I place fast (once discovered) as I can spot them a mile off (erm quite important in this job!) & they’re whizzy at getting back to […]

Life Lessons…..10 Years in Business
In July 2009 I decided to do something I honestly hadn’t wanted to & didn’t have any yearning for – but a confluence of events made it really my Best Option. So registered my Company name with Companies House & sat at my iMac (on a PC now ha) & wondered what the hell came […]

If You’re Gonna Do It, Do It Right!
This week is a first. I’ve recruited for 25yrs & yesterday I offered a job to a candidate & the subsequent offer of employment letter I was copied into knocked me off my feet. It was generous, warm, amusing & cooperative. It was more than a statement of fact….it was a truly ‘welcome to the […]

The Hanging Around Bit
So you’ve got the job spec, you’ve submitted the candidates, the interviews have gone really well & your client loves one particular candidate & we’ve given over that indication as we were instructed to. They want the job too…& its all systems go & then….it goes dark…. This gap, this halt, this stumble is one […]

Was it me…..?
Forgive me for going all truthful & non ‘Recruity’ on you but today has really taken me aback. Today (after 27yrs of doing this job & of course I’ve had disappointments along the way) I was let down by a candidate that I thought was the most perfect, friendly warm & most of all good […]
