If you’ve ever been involved in the hiring process you know how frustrating the process can be. One of the toughest parts is getting candidates’ to accept a position we know they're perfect for or they interview only to be offered a role for them to then take it to their current employer to get a counter offer/salary increase to then either blank the recruiter that has put hours of work in o
In the world of recruitment, we can be mistaken for being serious sometimes. But beneath our corporate coverage, we do also have a laugh. From bad interview experiences to job horror stories, we’ve heard it all. What at the time seems like the most embarrassing story of pure humiliation, often becomes a hilarious anecdote for future interviews. After all, it’s important to laugh at yourself,
Do you wake up on a Monday morning with no idea what you need to do - plan for - schedule etc - well have you tried a Mind Map? We often find that doing this helps process anything you are uncertain of to get in place and to give you some sort of reassurance. Our brain tends to rose-tint our ideas.

It really is amazing how so many of us connect just from blogging. I think it’s amazing to see the connections that are made. So many people love to read and write blogs because of the community. They may start out writing a blog as a way to express themselves and find a creative outlet, but I think they quickly find out what an amazing community it is. That’s why I love to

Happy Friday Everyone!! Why do we feel so guilty about taking our mental health days? What does it mean to take a mental health day? A mental health day is a day where you prioritise your mental health and take off from any commitments or responsibilities by indulging in some self care! Why is this important!? Much like a cog in a wheel the moment that gets stuck everything stops! We are advoc
It’s just another manic Monday… or so the song goes. you can understand why people up and down the country are today reaching for their second coffee by 9am! Why do you ask: The job market is really up in the air at the moment. Employees are unhappy that they can’t find work and employers are complaining that they can’t find talent. You’d think it would be as simple as matchmaking, and yet, we
It happened again this morning - my first conversation with a client said, “Happy Friday.” How often do you hear this greeting on Fridays? How often do you find yourself saying it? Have you ever wondered―like I do―“why is that?” Why are so many people excited for the weekend? If you love what you do you should be waking up saying "Happy Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday & Friday" It seems
