Updating the CV is one of the most important things that a candidate must…

Finding entry-level jobs is seemingly the most daunting activity for a fresh graduate. Armed with a degree, mostly theoretical knowledge and measured practical experience that in most real-life situations count for nothing. More to fret about if you took a gap year or more to explore other interests, now you feel like fish in fresh waters who's lingered in the shallow end for far too long. All the more reason to dive in the deep, dark and frightful waters quickly…

How to become a more successful recruiter is a major concern of today’s modern recruiters.

The war for talent is raging on, and recruiters are facing new challenges. Do you have what it takes to thrive in today’s highly-competitive recruiting…

When it comes to interviews this is one question you will more than likely be asked ‘why are you looking for a new job?’ or ‘ why did you leave your last job?’ and is definitely one that you should be well prepared for.

The particulars of this answer are to uncover why you left your previous position voluntarily or on…

Joanne McDonagh, blogger at Rezoomo, won First Place in the Talent Acquisition Category of Human Resources Today’s 2017 MVP Awards. Our judges and audience at HRT had hundreds of nominated articles to read through, so her article, 2018 Trends in Candidate Experience – What You Need To Know, really was the best of the best! Now that it’s been a few months since the conclusion of the awards, Shelley Trout, editor at Human Resources Today, has some questions for…

As a bootstrapping startup in the competitive space of job boards and recruitment, it’s hard to get noticed in a sea of established companies with recognised brand names and big budgets. We should know, we are the proverbial Jack Russell snapping at the heels of the Great Dane (but say ‘hello’, we don’t bite!).

Likewise, as a job seeker it is equally hard to get your CV seen by the right people and land your dream job. So how do you stand out from your fellow grads and the…

When you’re a young start-up, you need to maximize the aid of passionate, capable people while carefully managing your meager Series funding. Fractional work is a valuable tool that allows you to bring in in-depth experience and tested leadership into your company.…

Company culture is something that describes the company in the best way. It shows the qualities of an…

The sector of green technology serves two areas of development and implementation that require specific recruits. The practical application of the green technology sector is being followed by many businesses to support this new method of saving energy. It ranges from simple weatherising to energy saving lighting including a solar panel system. These projects are not DIY projects since; it requires firms with expertise to manage such tasks. With the availability of such works, specific…

When it comes to employer branding think of your business as a glasshouse, giving potential candidates a sneak peek at what is going on inside.

Recently I wrote about how recruitment is marketing and how the role of HR has significantly evolved over the years. The main ‘pain’ today in recruitment is attracting quality candidates and although this is a ‘pain’, is your company…

You check references to see what you can find out about a candidate that you are seriously considering. How hard do they work? Are they reliable? Skills, Character, History. What does their overall brand say about them?

If there are problems or red flags you are more likely to pass. If the brand is strong, a positive compelling story, you are more likely to hire.

The story is the same from the…

Building up the employer brand is a very tough task to do. It takes up a lot of hard work of the people to build up the brand, and maintaining that is essential as well. The interview is the first impression that the candidate has on the organization, and it is very important for the employer to make sure that it goes perfectly.

There are a few recruiters that make mistakes during the job interviews, that spoil the image of the employer brand in the…

The work-from-home option for the candidates is something that has become a trend now. There are a few people who do not have enough time and resources to go to the office daily but need to work for money. Not just this, there are students and home-makers who are not able to lend time to the organizations physically but can contribute to them sitting at home.

There are a few things that the organizations must know about the people working from home, and…

Recruiting firms and HR recruiters agreed that they prefer hiring a candidate who possesses the right attitude and good work ethic rather than a glowing CV. No doubt, knowledge of the job is important but it can be learned while working especially at junior level. But to find someone who fits perfectly according to the work culture of an organization is very difficult. Culture fit is very important for the hiring process.

Organizations are investing a…

The asset management industry in Scotland – and the rest of the UK, for that matter – is grappling with a problem that cuts to the very heart of its existence. No, it’s not the pressure on fees. Nor is it investors growing love affair with passively-managed funds. 

Fund managers are suffering from a dearth of fund managers. If not tackled robustly, the problem may persist for many years…

I began as the personnel administrator. I was the organizational fireman. But times have changed and now I am the gatekeeper to the organizational talents, attributes and skills. With that responsibility comes the need for me to assist the organization with the retention of current human capital but also to plan for the future talent needs of the organization.

It is from that perspective that I ask…
