recruiters that blog
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007Talent scouting in the US west coast, powered by Google Australia
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007When I mention I’m an engineer in our Sydney office, I’m often greeted with looks of surprise: it seems many people aren’t aware of our Australian presence. Thus, it is with great pleasure that we are inviting engineers from Silicon Valley (or anywhere in California) to the Googleplex in Mountain View next Tuesday, 8 May for G’day Google: an evening (6-9 pm) open house event showcasing Google Australia…
… Working in the Sydney office is lots of fun and incredibly challenging. My desk looks over Darling Harbour, so it can sometimes be difficult to spend all day looking at a monitor.
from G’day California, organised by Google Australia, and intended to leverage off a particularly strong regional employer brand to reap talent for the co’s worldwide offices. My guess is they may recruit more yanks into Sydney than get expats to come back. Where’s your money on?
opening day at cebit 2007
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007I was lucky to be invited as a blogger to cebit this time around. I had the opportunity to confirm a few things:
- there is in fact a blogger dress-code
- there is a blogger demeanor (”i must have been a journalist in a previous life”)
- wifi is never fast enough
- there’s never enough jelly bellys, i meant jelly beans to go around
Other than that boththe host and the idea sponsor were gracious and accommodating. Ah yes, and the show… lots of telco, voip, network, some rfid, some tablets, old-ish software all round, web hosting…
Exhibitors that had to do with recruiment/people/hr:
- recruitment systems who are launching a new version of their integrated management system in the next few months (no specifics, maybe we’ll catch with the GM and get a deeper scoop
- jobserve, maybe it was too early but there weren’t too many people around them
- support resort, get an hour of .net development out of India or the Philippines for 5 aussie bucks (!)
- ford and james, candidate assessment circa 1980, that was my impression after hearing the pitch anyway
i trust there’s more upbeat posts from the blogger peer group at bloggerzone.com.au
.. and a handful of pics

if you want to know more about corporate blogging
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007When you are no longer aligned with your customers is when the company starts getting into trouble. When you start saying your gizmo is great and your customers are telling everybody it sucks, then you have (a) serious misalignment.
So how do you keep misalignment from happening?
The answer lies (in) the cultural (corporate) membrane that separates you (the company) from them (your customers). The more porous the membrane, the easier it is for conversations between you and them, the internal and external, to happen. The easier for the conversations on both sides to adjust to the other, to become like the other.
And nothing pokes holes in the membrane better than blogging.
