What I�ve learned at Qandidate the last 2 days

ralph@qandidate.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 00:00:00 +0100

This week I moved my desk to the other side of the office to sit with our development team. Within my Marketing responsibilities at Qandidate.com I work closely with the development team, when it comes to product design and scope, so I decided to move my desk from one side of the office to the other, to sit in the development area.

When I say development team (or SCRUM team), think about a bunch of bright people, almost all of them are Gen Y. They are eager, smart, fun and real [...]

paul_newman@live.com — Fri, 03 May 2013 00:00:00 +0100

Online dental recruitment agencies are perhaps the newest addition to the industry right now in terms of looking for ideal posts and submitting applications with ease.

However, despite the fact that the concept has only been around for a short time, a number of competing services have already emerged with their own unique takes on what ‘service’ actually means.

And not to put too fine a point on it, their actual potential for getting folk where they need [...]

The Risks of Poor Employment Screening

sara_wells80@hotmail.com — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0100

When most think about the concept of employment screening they of course think of the basic, perhaps remedial background checks carried out on any and all applicants before being considered for a post. More often than not, any standard business or recruiter will be insistent on verifying things like education, qualifications and relevant experience by requesting documents and perhaps written references.

However, given the way in which it’s not exactly difficult to produce any nu [...]

How Modern Communication is Impacting HR

derin@further.co.uk — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0100

In the last decade the world of HR has changed drastically. Once HR departments were a hive of activity that bridged the gap between employers and employees. It was where relationships between the company and its workers were built, where staff could go when they had a problem and where managers would drop by to keep updated with their team's progress.

Today, HR departments are being scaled back and HR Directors are more likely to be emailing and updating LinkedIn than making phon [...]

Why Recruiting Talent is Good for Business

derin@further.co.uk — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0100

We are at the Recruiter Magazine Smart Resourcing knowledge sharing event taking place on 28 February 2013 at The Kings Fund, London.
