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 [...]

Recruitment is no longer just about recruitment consultants, thankfully…

I saw a blog post by the MD of a major recruitment company discussing how it was the preserve of recruitment companies to find people jobs. The comment was, “People find people jobs, not job boards”. I thought it worth while reposting my thoughts here because it is basically all we are all about as [...]

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.

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 [...]

Job Boards and the passive job seeker

March 3rd 2009 What’s the silver bullet for attracting the passive job seeker online? Now more than ever, there is a distinct difference between the active and passive job seeker and I want to talk about some ideas for how job boards can attract and sell the concept of “passive” seeker sourcing and headhunting services through their sites. [...]

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 [...]

Posted 2nd February 2009 a4curv3gw6 “It’s not the strongest or most intelligent that survive; it’s those that are willing and able to adapt and change.” How many times are we now going to hear this quote now that we are so close to Darwin’s anniversary? Today I am going to appropriate it to use specifically [...]
