Ok this is just a rant and I am picking on Hire Desk only because they are the most recent company to do this. Many technology focused companies require you to register before you can download their white papers, this gives them some great lead data, which I support. But WHY WHY WHY do IContinue reading “White paper registration!”

The truth about blogging
Heather Hamilton provides a great summary on what I feel makes blogs such a wonderful communication tool.
There’s more to life than just technology
I touched on the subject during my quick Jobster review last week and previously, technology alone will not save you. Well, today I noticed that the Jobster Blog provides a great overview as to what else needs to be done when trying to track down passive candidates. Many a time I have sat with endContinue reading “There’s more to life than just technology”
Just updated my Blogroll
I have just changed my blogroll to more accurately reflect who I am reading. I was using BlogRolling but found it very difficult to keep in sync with Newsgator Online and as such as I added feeds I was not keeping the BlogRoll listing up to date. I was also using BlogRolling to track static/newsContinue reading “Just updated my Blogroll”

Naill touches on the different disruptive technologies that are entering the workplace, blogs, cameraphones, IM, P2P, CD/DVD writers etc. Each of these “new” technologies (I sayContinue reading “Blogging policies”
Workflow vs HRMS
Dubs from the HR Technology Discussion board provides a great primer on workflow. As Dubs said workflow in HR is HUGE, I could not agree more. The ROI that can be demonstrated by an effective workflow solution can pay for itself very very quickly. It does not even need to be a top of theContinue reading “Workflow vs HRMS”
Blog anonymously
(Via blog*on*nymity) The EFF have published an interesting item on how to blog anonymously. The post has some good tips and some not so good ones, many are also only relevant if you live in the US which while might be good for a lot of bloggers does not cut it for the rest ofContinue reading “Blog anonymously”
Quick Jobster Review
Just a quick post before I leave for work. Yesterday I had lunch with Dave Lefkow from Jobster who was in Australia on evangelising-type trip, and thanks again to Dave for picking up the tab. After lunch we sat at a bar in Southbank and he gave me a quick demo of the product. UnfortunatelyContinue reading “Quick Jobster Review”
