... by fitting in exercise.

The frantic corporate & social whirlwind that many professionals find themselves living in Britain in 2012, it is no surprise that physical activity falls down the priority pecking order… but as all the evidence suggests, it can play one of the most important roles in...

New Year, New Career…

Were you one of the many not looking forward to 4^th January this year?

You're not alone. Some view January as a bad time to look for a job, some make a New Year's resolution to find something new, some are daunted at the prospect of leaving their comfort zone, takin...

Social recruitment is not just searching Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter for your perfect candidates. The social aspect of recruitment is using those people to find connections, reaching potential candidates or connections efficiently using social media. Not all people are comfortable tweeting (me included), so you will need to go to even...

I opened my eyes to a bright sunny morning, couldn't resist a brief look at twitter, Facebook and linked (sad I know but up early with the kids!).

If you are recruiting a Marketing Director/ Sales Director / Head of BD are most clients more comfortable in the knowledge that their role is in the hands of a big well known brand or a smaller niche specialist?
