As Heather said there has been lots of discussion (here, here, here, here, and here) recently on recruiting metrics and the quality of a hire.

Resume tool follow up
A one of the features in CVOz that I originally did not fully appreciate was the email alerts. Steven Hair from CVOz responded to an email enquiry I had about the product and provided some additional information.

Advice to job seekers
Steven Kempton (The Asia Pacific Headhunter) wrote an interesting letter to NZ Herald with some very important advice to job seekers, you have to work at it to find a job. (BTW I am really begining to like the change to WordPress.)

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”
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”
