Recruitment Yoga

Welcome to Recruitment Yoga – the Zen Shui of the recruitment world. Confused? Don’t be; the simple matter of the fact is that we have collaborated together to collate recruitment truths that help shape our professional career development. More than the facts, figures and practicality that is often all you will find on the internet, we hope to offer you a little bit more. What, we hear you ask?

Cognizance of our own personal development helps shape our lives more than the facts, figures and academics that most people rely on to get their foot in the door. Being able to speak intelligently when you get that opportunity is what matters. Our recruitment experts are here to give you more information than our competitors would really want us to, because by bettering those around us we believe our own business will benefit.

Here are some snippets from blogs we have posted to date. Hopefully this will entice you to read on!

Not only will candidates be able to search for jobs using the app and be automatically notified of new roles that match their ideal criteria, but it also has a live Twitter Feed, Google Maps and video from Nestlé’s YouTube channel incorporated, giving users a more interactive journey.

Ooh Ooh, Augmented Reality hits your CV!

So it turns out that CWJobs are doing something pretty nifty in the market and have opened a competition for all the budding job hunters out there to be the first ever person (certainly that I know of) to create an augmented reality CV. Sweet!!

Is It More Cost-Effective to Cut Out Agents Altogether?

I’m quite fortunate! Rarely do I come across a contractor that doesn’t feel working with a specialist recruitment agency is good value for money. I say fortunate…in fact I work very hard to give a service that I would want myself. There will always be times when contractors would prefer to find work themselves, and are more than capable of doing so – but is it cost effective to build your own network and cut out agents altogether? Let’s explore…
