'Who am I to tell you how you can describe yourself? Nobody. So ignore me at your leisure. On the other hand, I can tell you for free that the words you use in your résumé, your LinkedIn profile, your Twitter bio, your cover letter, and in spoken language, create a response in the reader, […].

'Twitter’s been around for nearly 8 years and has always been popular in recruiting circles, but there are still plenty of recruiters who don’t use Twitter to its full potential or are simply new to using Twitter for recruiting. For example, just the other day I noticed in one of my Hootsuite streams a recruiter with 3 followers tweet about a job.

I ask for two reasons: Last week I popped into the expo stand area of the HRINZ Conference at the Viaduct Event Centre. It was lunch time, looked good, was well organised and set up well.

'We’ve been dispensing a lot of CV and résumé advice over the last couple of weeks, mainly because we believe that better CVs benefit everybody. I think it’s fair to say that as recruiters we’ve seen our fair share of badly written, hideous looking and just down right awful CVs sent to us by hopeful candidates, in our time. But on the flip side we’ve all also seen at least one immaculate, easy to read, visually pleasing, gem of a CV that was a pleasure to read and resulted in us making a g

'As independent recruiters, it is difficult to keep up with the rapidly changing industry and not get caught up in the standard pitfalls that come with the territory. In order to stay ahead of the competition, it is easy to make promises you can not necessarily keep, take on more than you can possibly handle, or let those tasks on your list fall off without completion.

'An increase in demand for skilled workers, especially in operations, engineering, IT, and sales has led to a completely different job market, where companies are forced to compete against each other to attract the talent they need. And most recruiters expect that competition will be even greater in 2015, so they are planning to invest more in social and mobile recruiting as well as referrals.

'Somewhere along the line, recruiting technology became ‘self-aware’, allowing organizations to mindlessly post all of their jobs to job boards globally, big and small. It was in the late 90’s and it was pegged as the solution to our sourcing challenges. For the first time ever, candidates could ‘easily’ and quickly apply online for just about any job.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

'Hands-up if you subscribe to the theory, ‘Facebook is rubbish for recruiting’ Well you won’t be the only one, the majority of recruiters I come across seem to adopt this approach to the world’s largest social network.

'When I first started interviewing as a manager, I rarely included my team on the interviews. However, at some point I decided I would give it a try and it changed my interview and consideration process.

An era of uncertainty has arrived in recruiting. The unpredictability that exists in the labor market can make it difficult for employers to know how they should respond in this environment.
