Tuesday, July 1st, 2008on flowers and recruitment
Thursday, June 5th, 2008Even though I have been delving into online retailing in the last few months, this has not distracted me enough to forget about recruitment. I explain:
When a florist delivers a bunch, it means that it has dispatched the product and that the courier has come back with a confirmation that it reached its destination. Now, you will want to think that this is proof that the intended recipient has received the flowers and is already feeling pretty special, right?
Fact is, sometimes the flowers were not received even though they were delivered in absolute good faith, e.g. the person could not be found and the flowers were left at the back of the house, or someone who was not the recipient just got them, etc.
Delivery and Receipt are not the same. This being the case, Is the service you are delivering being received?
- Are you delivering traffic, churn, eyeballs; whilst recruiters want placeable candidates?
- Are you part of a recruitment service delivery team who is so far removed from the client (because of the way your company is organised) that you cannot see its impact on them
My mini-quest for the foreseeable future is to change from ‘we deliver flowers’ to ‘we ensure flowers are received’. I am sure logistics technology can help with this.
Do you have a mini-quest of your own?
LinkedIn usage in Australia
Monday, July 2nd, 2007My first foray into empirical research as part of LatinOcean. It is really more a brief compilation on how recruiters are using the system in the region in an attempt to transcend the hype and the buzz.
Don’t go too hard on me re. sample sizes and statistical relevance; nevertheless I hope it is of benefit to some of you out there, and feel free to pass. Enjoy
adding to our services portfolio
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007I have given the What We Offer section a very small update, as I have now included a LinkedIn master class session and the management of recruitment advertising campaigns on Google (AdWords) in our offerings portfolio.
I have been very suscint in what I have included on the site mainly because every time I have delivered on these services, they vary substantially depending on the client requirements. I might need to expand on the basics perhaps, as newbie clients come on the site and they need a bit more handlholding, which I am more that happy to offer.
Feel free to pass these details around, there will be a referral fee for you. And even better if you want to take our services up.
more on recruit.net
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007I had the chance to be email-viewed by Brett Iredale from Nowhiring on matters recruit.net. Give it a read, it might help understand a bit more the difference between a job board and a job search engine; you can also get the scoop on how it is partnering with one of the top three job boards in Oz.
And just to ensure that you know this has more than sentimental value, there is one hot lead out of the post.
