Net Natives – so what exactly is it that you do…?

I’ve been involved in recruitment for 16 years and set up my recruitment business nearly 2 years ago, yet I still struggle to know what to say when people (alright, my Mum) asks, “So, what sort of business are you?”. Our unique way of looking at recruitment is so pioneering it’s hard to put us [...]

10:10 We’re committed. Shouldn’t you be?

A slight tangent to the usual online recruitment stories and thoughts is the fact that we have signed up to the 10:10 Project to commit to cutting our carbon emissions. We are now a… You can follow any twitter activity with the #1010 tag. We are a small online recruitment business, so our impact is already [...]

Can Twitter end the recession?

Twitter’s is never out of the news, whether with rallying cries against those damn Yankees criticising the NHS or the power of citizen journalism helping mobilise radical thought in Iran. But I can’t help feeling its mighty PR machine has missed a trick by not ascribing Twitter’s influence over the gradual global recovery from recession. Twitter [...]

Are 700+ job boards too many?

We’ve recently expanded our job board reach at Net Natives and we now post our clients roles across our network of over 700 job boards. Quite frankly this figure is so large that it sounds a bit ridiculous… But look closer… Jobsite’s network = 474 boards, including their partnerships with regional press through Northcliffe  and Jonston Press, [...]

thoughts on setting up an employee referral scheme

I wanted to put down some thoughts about employee referrals as there doesn’t seem to be a lot of information or help out there for businesses. Probably because it erodes the revenues of recruitment companies and the agencies charge a fortune to put something in place. Well, nuts to that. If it’s worth knowing, it’s worth sharing… [...]

I am going to expand on some of these points later (especially the effective referral schemes and social media strategy), but wanted to get out there some simple recruitment tips and advice that we know help in the hiring process and will keep costs down. There is a lot to take in here, so feel [...]

the new home for our online recruitment blog

We have bitten the bullet and finally migrated across from typepad onto here – seduced by the smoother app intergrations and increased functionality. The only annoying aspects were that we have lost all of our lovely comments (my fault) and that all of the posts seem to have been posted on the same day (again, I hold [...]

joining up job boards and face to face events – extend the brand

Posted April 3rd 2009 The constant theme in these posts is that recruitment advertising is not going to come back as it was before, what is needed now is to look at alternative ways to increase revenues from a decreasing space. I hope I have added food for thought with previous posts about lateral revenues, outsource and out-placement [...]

The future of recruitment; where do we go from here?

Posted 20th February 2009 Simple points reiterated; recession and a massive decrease in employment growth means that… Employers are finally able to take a breath and look at strategic recruitment and recruitment strategies rather than ongoing reactive growth. Recruitment budgets are being cut from advertising and consultancy fees. Suppliers will have to become creative to [...]

Recruitment advertising – how to sell when the client says "we're not recruiting"

Posted 12th February 2009 Recruitment sales has had it pretty easy – there I said it. I am not saying it has been all rosy (I should know, I launched a “not very successful” job board for a legal publisher a few years ago), but the sector has benefited from year on year growth since its [...]
