As I write, his post has had almost 200 comments, some very angry, some very passionate, he really has ‘stirred Read more

I am at my most animated when watching a great game of rugby or watching Ed Balls being interviewed.

To try and suggest the size of a company implies the ethics of an individual, or that small Read more

Lots of booze, mince pies and mistle toe? The Top Billers I have worked with hardly ever switch off, they are always thinking about how they can do better, how they can bill more, earn more and outperform more.

Finding the right balance

Earlier this month I attended the UK Recruiter End of Year Conference. CV-Library had a good presence there, as the main sponsors, and it was great to be out of the office and speak to people face to face. It was organised as a conference rather than an event so I found I learnt Read more

As my first article for the Genius Team Blogs I’d like to give a little perspective to my areas of expertise. Whilst I do indeed run the National Online Recruitment Awards, and AlljobsUK, this work is informed by being, first and foremost, a recruiter.
