Buggers With Large Lies
In recent weeks, I’ve been working with an organisation on some recruitment activity, which has proved to be eye-popping candy. Now, I’m well-conversed with the approaches of recruitment charlatans; in fact, their peccadilloes were once the object of intense personal curiosity. The UK recruitment sphere has long since been a social large intestine. But now…

No-BAME Culture
‘Diversity and inclusion have never been more important’. They’re at it again, all those boorish recruitment consultants, so-called brand specialists, and advertising gurus churning out whatever toss they think might snag them a hatful of clicks. And it’s always been important. Not more so now. It’s the concept of diversity that has never been more…

Unfurling the Freak Flypaper
Earlier this year, Boris Johnson’s chief adviser launched a recruitment campaign ‘seeking weirdos and misfits’. He’s patently never worked in the recruitment sector, because that is indeed longhand for ‘launched a recruitment campaign’. Every campaign attracts weirdos and misfits – it’s one of the rules. The modus operandi of the switched-on is that such weirdness…

A Crisis of Competence
As the dust begins to settle, both Labour and Liberal Democrat parties in the UK are contemplating their imminent leadership changes. So, you can well imagine an army of potential superstars waiting in the wings, right? Wrong. There is of course no dearth of volunteers for both posts, though both parties are afflicted by a…
