'The word “algorithm” still makes me shudder, even 25 years on from when I reached my limit in the mathematics field. I’ve always found basic maths pretty easy and managed to complete GCSE Maths (UK version of NCEA level 1…I think…) in a year rather than the usual two, getting a grade A to boot.

I have a new daughter, and she is amazing! I love having a baby in the house again. My two sons are six and eight, full of energy, and involved in everything. But having an infant in the house has reminded me to slow down and enjoy life a little bit more. Although my husband and I are often sleep deprived, we’ve learned to appreciate the quiet times and enjoy the first smiles, snuggles, pretty dresses, and bows.

'Recruiting and talent acquisition— is where the whole talent lifecycle begins. It’s the first—and depending on whom you ask—the most vital step in the lifecycle to really nail.

'I was recently sent an email from a contact in the Australian recruitment sector that I think raises some interesting questions about the value of true sourcing activities. It also takes a dig at “rec-to-recs” such as my own company, which is another matter but one I obviously need to address too. Did anyone in NZ get this email with the title Are you struggling to find good recruiters?

Once you find, interview, and hire that new employee, it is time to get started with training. But first, that new employee must complete the new-hire paperwork. Sign this release, pick your benefit package, here is a state form, a federal form, and few more things. That should be all you need until enrollment rolls around again. Then, in the middle of training, here comes that HR representative, bringing even more paperwork.

'Entry level jobs can be especially tricky to recruit for. Unlike recruiting for roles that have a more seasoned candidate base, hiring managers often have to read between the lines and determine if a candidate will be successful based off limited work experience and how the candidate presents themselves in the interview process.
