Is this job Part Time or Full time? Let’s see what turns up.
My blogs are usually focussed on imparting advice & offering up comments on job hunting, but this one, if you’ll forgive me, is a little indulgent musing on something I’m starting to see creep in since late last year on the jobs market. In Liverpool & Chester. I’m getting super jobs in, but as I’m […]

Real life graduation. Into work
I interview Graduates & I really do know how tough it is out there for them. The long term view isn’t all that bright & I can’t give Graduates a heap of platitudes. There are too many candidates – Grad & non Grad on the market looking for the same jobs to do that. But, […]

The dreaded Client / Recruiter VISIT!
This quick little blog is aimed at clients. Employers. Bosses….whatever you choose to call yourselves. And its aimed at your relationship with me: the Recruiter. I take vacancies from some really nice, responsive clients & I have to say lots of my clients know me, know how I work & I know them. But businesses […]

What can happen when you circumvent the Recruiter….?
I choose to work with a certain type of candidate & believe me it works the other way. Candidates choose to use me. On speaking to me, reading my website & my blogs, it’s immediately evident I’m very different & don’t use the much over-used high street ‘recruiting’ speak from the outset, but I guess […]

Why bother giving feedback?
This blog is about a very real & current issue – it’s a ‘hot potato!’ Due to the position I’m in, I see the disappointment when candidates tell me yes, they went to that interview & no, there was no feedback. Rubbish. I & many other Agencies & employers see it as part & parcel […]

Candidates: when you apply for a job, be ready for a response!
Tenacity, speed & decisiveness – again – wins the day. Last month I placed some smashers & some I just knew I was going to place from the get go as I spotted them a mile off & they proved to be whizzy at getting back to me & responding. So once I’d found them […]

Is there a place for the word ‘nice’ in a job spec?
So we all know I recruit. Permanent staff, temp staff, first jobbers, close to retirement candidates, part timers & £50K+ Senior Roles & lately, more than ever, I’ve seen that ‘nice’ candidates win the day & get the job. You might read that as a subjective, twee word & think it’s nonsense, but all I […]

Temping vs benefits: Is it such a tough choice?
I’ve recently moved into the exciting world of providing Temps after a few years’ break & wow – has it changed. Not only because the Agency Workers Regulations that were introduced in October 2011 gives agency workers (temps) entitlement to the same basic employment & working conditions as if they’d been recruited directly. It’s also […]

Candidates & their ‘Curriculum Vitea’s’
I read yesterday that three quarters of candidates CV’s get rejected if they contain mistakes. And my honest response is….really – only that few? This blog is borne out of hearing of this statistic on the same day as receiving a CV that seemed to go against everything that’s happening ‘out there’ in the […]

In praise of the choosy candidate
So I’m in recruiting. Its going well thank you very much…but it just feels about time I put right some perceptions that I’m coming across day in & day out. So everyone thinks its DREADFUL out there & nobody’s getting anywhere & no-one’s getting opportunities & there ‘are NO jobs.’ STOP….because that’s not right….. […]
