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.

Temping vs benefits: Is it such a tough choice?

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 […]

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….. […]

Recruiting with (& without) an Accent!
If we start by saying I’m a Geordie. I talk like a Geordie & can’t say ‘phone’ in that posh way that everyone else does. I’m not quite as Geordie as Cheryl – but I’ve an indentifiable Geordieness – & it’s innately in my personality & not just my in voice

Tins of Beans blog
In my first ever interview for my first recruitment consultant job, back in the day when recruiting was funky, fresh & new & no-body used LinkedIn & an iphone would’ve seen you tied to a Ducking Stool, I was told that ‘selling candidates isn’t like selling tins of beans….’ Obvious you say…..but in the span of a 19 year long career in recruiting – this sentence resonated with me time & time again.
