Short tip for my recruitment network.

Good candidate's may open doors, but so will great questions.

One approach may lead to sugar hit, they other will likely lead to something far more sustainable & healthy!

Something to ponder.

Actions over Outcomes: The Key to Success (today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year)

We all know that results are important. But what's often overlooked is the importance of the actions we take to achieve those results. In fact, I believe that t…https://t.co/TX4u7yPHn9

Last week was Men's Health Week, I had very little to say on the matter as I have been in a funky place with a newborn and a lot happening professionally! But here is my message to men everywhere and something I reflect on daily.

The WFH Debate: Is it Working or Not? I've been pondering this question for a while, and I'm eager to hear your thoughts.

When it comes to assessing the impact of remote work on your business, should we solely rely on the data from the last 2-3 years to…https://t.co/e0tGozchEz

There is nothing more frustrating than the lack of accountability on individuals when it comes to publishing lies through the media or online.

I've been reflecting hard on the top qualities of leadership in today's world compared to pre COVID.

I recently picked up the below from a fantastic whitepaper prepared by @NerylEastComms for The Executive Connection (TEC).

All content has the potential to be 'good content' in terms of reach, but what content works? Is it content that is 'above or below the line'?

It's a question I have asked myself a lot over the years. Whilst content that goes 'below the line' may invoke…https://t.co/NDdqx3eu6l

Have we as recruitment leaders failed in our responsibility in keeping our colleagues 'grounded'? I am starting to see & feel there are elements of this across the industry. And it is on my mind daily.

Of course as leaders, it's important to recognise an…https://t.co/Szp9aPygtF

I suspect this is going to be a touchy subject. If you are watching the clock on what time you start, and what time you finish to prioritise you over anything else then your success in recruitment will likely be limiting. Some examples of my own: -

The world remains talent short, and for most companies this will never chage. And from my perspective the 1 reason that underpins this is a lack of leadership.

Story telling in recruitment, something that I fear has been lost or ignored in more recent times.

As part of my role as a leader I regularly talk to my own experiences of when I encountered issues with clients and trying to break down (or in other word…https://t.co/8BkVXVGAmG
