Not just the symptom of an onset fungal infection or an early sign of diabetes. It’s the phrase we use to describe the want and desire to travel. I just took a small trip down a rabbit hole and discovered that Oxford Vs Collins is a very real thing in the dictionary world.

Kia ora whanau and m?nawatia nawatia a Matariki! We’re a little early with the big day being next Friday. However, for the first time in NZ we have a national holiday to celebrate! So, no blog next week. One thing I’ve always loved about New Zealand is how it acknowledges its first people.

Have you heard the good news? Jesus lived a life without sin on our behalf, and then died the painful death our sins deserve. In other great news, the RCSA Awards finalists have been announced for 2022. Woohoo! Those who read my musings on a regular basis will know that my excitement is in jest.

Like a prostitute being asked to spit into a John’s mouth, I’m mostly numb to the kinks of the recruitment industry. After nearly 15 years recruiting, 10 of which being spent recruiting recruiters, I’ve pretty much seen all the crappy behaviours contingent recruitment can create.

It’s the morning after the Seek awards! Usually, this occasion is combined with a stinking hangover and a few bacon butties from the Right Track. However, this year the awards were beamed virtually to 150+ screens across NZ. This occurred yesterday 1 pm which scuppered our usual process.

Last week my fellow blogger Scott Burnett took me down memory lane with his playful jab at the internal recruitment market. Once upon a time, The Rice Whiteboard was a hot bed of scandalous opinion, hearsay, and on occasion, facts.

What a time to be alive folks. Yes, petrol costs more than my bar tab and we’re on the brink of World War III, but work has never been more flexible. Once upon a time, recruitment worked like this: Firstly, we had to pick up a job. Now this is an easy task in today’s talent short world.

I’ve had a bit of a wobble this week. Don’t worry. It’s not so bad that you have to offer me a virtual hug, coffee, or catch-up via my Facebook profile so that the world can see how “kind” you are. And although I live under a self-imposed Level 4 (as should you probably), it’s not from being trapped between these four walls. I have a dog, a wife, and s**t-loads of wine – and between the three of them, they are catering to my basic needs.

As recruiters, we interview people on a near-daily basis. Candidates mainly, trying to assess suitability and matching the candidates’ skills to the client’s requirements. It becomes second nature especially when you have a checklist sitting in front of you.

Thank you Recruit Holdings. Or perhaps that should be “ Arigat? gozaimashita ” given their country of origin. It’s not easy nor fun writing recruitment blogs currently. To put down 700 original words on recruitment without repeating yourself when your actual life is so full of repetition is no easy task. Thankfully we have a snippet of NZ recruitment news this week which will stop me mentioning Covid or my hatred of David f*cking Seymour.

It’s been a funny ol’ week. I’m actually off back to Blighty for a wee while on Saturday, and the final week before leave is often a bit disjointed. Simultaneously hoping to get some more work in whilst also trying to close everything off, all set to the backdrop of a country who would rather procrastinate over email than pick up the God-damn phone and get a deal closed.
