Why PSAs suck. Compelling reading from Ross Clennett.

If you haven’t read Ross Clennett’s latest blog post titled ” Why PSAs Suck ” then you should.   As anyone who has sent us a tender document will know, I share Ross’s view when it comes to software tenders for most of the same reasons.

QLD agencies up in arms over Govt recruitment contract going to a Vic firm

News Ltd’s Courier Mail is today reporting that Queensland recruitment agencies are up in arms over the Queensland Government engaging an interstate recruitment firm to fill lucrative key QLD Governement roles. A spokesman for Premier Anna Bligh said the Victorian agency was selected “because they offered the best value for money, but also they offered the opportunity to open up new networks and contacts, both within Queensland, interstate and overseas, which have not been used in our previous CEO recruitment campaigns.” The article can be read here And incensed reader’s comments here

Telstra fibre optic cable severed in the UK – job sites go down

On the 4th of April contractors working on the Olympics Venue project in East London bored through a major Telstra fibre optic system, taking down many Telstra services and services of Telsra’s competitors. Story here . Unfortunately it looks like one of the world’s largest job board networks, Jobserve has been caught up in the outage, including their much touted JobG8 job distribution network. Jobserve.co.uk , Jobserve.com.au and Jobserve.com all appear to be down today, some 2 days after the accident first occured. Jobserve.co.uk is the UK’s leading IT job board so an outage like this must be devastating. Unfortunately for local Australian job boards who are using the JobG8 network for job content their jobs all appear to be affected with the “apply now” button leading to a page load error or timeout.

Get the horse before the social media cart

An article today discussing the pending demise of Second Life (the online refuge for those with no first life) served to remind us yet again that just because something is hyped and trendy does not mean you should rush out and invest in it. Second Life has been touted for the last 2 years as being “the next big thing” and “the future of the online world”.
