Lately, many of you have asked me for details of the CRM system I use. This it... I highly recommend it. @Bigin is really excellent. It integrates seamlessly with Gmail, customising fields and pipeline data is easy and can be done on the fly, and it offers excellent value.

This week we explored the question: Is Geelong Facing a "Tech Talent Time Bomb".

Just where is the Tech Talent pool coming from now and into the future?

The expert Panel provided some interesting feedback.

[Harvest Talent Recruitment & People Solutions @HarvestHR]

Conclusion, we've come a long way BUT tech is changing quickly & skills need to keep up. Tech Talent is hard to come by & outsourcing can be average. Skills continue to be in demand, we need to take action. #geelong may not have a ticking time bomb but we do have challenges
