Don’t do dumb sh*t (like I did) as a recruiter in your 20s

By Ross Clennett | Nov 24, 2021

The untapped labour pool nobody is talking about

By Ross Clennett | Oct 28, 2021
Have you noticed that there is no ‘labour shortage’ of professional footballers? Have you also noticed that there seem to be few obstacles to talented players remaining employable despite setbacks, such as a criminal conviction, that would significantly derail the job prospects of lesser mortals?

Hays look bullishly to 2022 with surging September quarter

By Ross Clennett | Oct 21, 2021
Hays has long been the bellwether of the Australian recruitment sector because their presence is omnipresent across the nation in both temporary and permanent recruitment and, as a public company, they release quarterly and half-yearly trading updates, along with comprehensive annual reports.
