Online Recruitment company lists
It seems Seek had a reasonable first day in the Australian Stock Market, which is good considering the overall market went south. In the long term I wonder how they will perform and what impact being a public company will have on their day to day operations. Seek has been a leader in the AustralianContinue reading “Online Recruitment company lists”
New Visa arrangements in Australia
Just noticed that DIMIA (Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs) in Australia have released changes to the infamous 457 Visa’s. I wonder if it will have an impact on the offshoring process that is happening within Australia? Or even the whole skills shortage issue.

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”

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.
