why recruitment has changed for ever

I recently wrote an article about how recruitment has changed and thought I should share some thoughts about what has changed and why it will never be the same again. The Net Natives online recruitment business model thrives because the nature of recruitment has changed in 4 incredibly important (but rarely mentioned) ways. Clients do not [...]

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 [...]
