Play More Beach Volleyball to Bill More FeesTwo weeks ago, one of my favourite recruitment bloggers, Jonathan Rice, posted on his blog The Whiteboard, a smartly written post, provocatively entitled Smoke More Cigarettes to Bill More Fees. The essence of Jonathan’s post was that when he worked at Hays, a large majority of the biggest billers were smokers, but it wasn’t the actual smoking that lead to more fees. More so that the smokers Excerpt from: Tags: Cigarettes, hays, Industry Chat, Insight, motivation, profit, result, targets, time-management, Whiteboard Expertise, Capability, Good Corporate Citizen, New Markets and Profit: The Hays juggernaut rolls onOn 28 October, 2009 in InSight #105, the lead article was The Best Run Recruitment Companies in Australia (part 1): Hays which listed the reasons I believed Hays was so highly regarded by other recruitment industry owners and CEOs. Although no comments were posted to my blog about this article, I received a few emails that suggested I was being naïve or irresponsible in highlighting or endorsing Read more here: Tags: article, australia, Ceos, companies, hays, industry, Insight, lead, result best recruitment agencywhich agency is the best. i have used a few and have found the big ones that are in every different state like(hays, talent international, peoplebank, ambition, robert walters etc)provide low quality service (I have used them in the past as both a client and candidate in the past) and then the more boutique ones like (sirius, interpro, milestone, exclaim) provide a much better service and work much harder but the problem is the big agencies have all the clients. I don’t understand it. The big companies (Clients) should give the boutique agencies the jobs knowing they will get better service. Those big recruitment companies are just like fast food service.

I loved almost every minute of my time when I was recruiting. For most of my 14 years running a desk (full time as a consultant, part-time as a manager), I was young, without significant life commitments and hungry to achieve. So what do I miss from More here: Tags: answer, desk, greg savage, hays, honest, Industry Chat, leadership, life, result, Ross Agencies are far from dead: 2010 in reviewYes, I am pleased to confirm that the Australian recruitment agency sector, after a near-death experience in late 2008 and early 2009, is alive and well. Reports of the industry’s irrelevance were proven to be well off the mark as growth and profitability rebounded strongly in 2010. That doesn’t mean it was a year without challenges. In fact, for the pessimists (realists?), there was plenty of See the original post here: Tags: agency, challenges, death, experience, hays, Industry Chat, irrelevance, pessimists, psas, realists, result, talent2 Talent Tidbits – Tackling Gender Inequality;Dream Employers; Information Overload; Work-Life BalanceGender Equality in Workplaces: Consulting firm Bain takes a look at gender inequality in Australian workplaces and offered three views (inhibitors) on why this culture persist. I think setting targets, rather than just paying lip service to the issue, is the right way forward. Information overload & work: Information overload is making us less productive.

I was a very ‘green’ 22 year old, living away from home for the first time, trying to make a go of working life in London. I was employed as a permanent accounting consultant in the Victoria office of Accountancy Personnel (now Hays).

Given the sale of Packer’s interest in SEEK recently it’s a fair bet that it was the last such ‘knees up’ for the heavy hitters of the recruitment sector, to be hosted by the Packer family.

The first significant step was separating temp and perm recruitment. Smart business owners realised these two aspects of recruitment required slightly different competencies and as a result the more process, detail and transaction-oriented people were better suited to perm and the faster paced, more emotional and relationship-focused Here is the original post: Tags: business-owners, denis waxman, hays, more-emotional, more-process, people-were, recruitment trends, result-the-more, separating-temp, sourcing, the-faster, two-aspects The 2010 Intergenerational report – some thoughtsIn case you weren’t paying much attention, in the first week of February the Federal Government released the much-leaked 2010 version of the Intergenerational Report.
