At Chameleon-i we understand how important reputation is and how hard you have worked to grow and develop this. Your logo serves as the visual representation of your company and is the thing that most of your clients and candidates identify you with, and recognise you buy.

We all now that LinkedIn can be an extremely powerful tool in the right hands. With its vast reach, search technology and the long-term nature of its members’ profiles, LinkedIn remains one of the best ways to effectively source and vet candidates.

IT is one of the hottest fields to work in as a recruiter, considering there is high demand for it, it is needed in just about every sector, and it tends to give you well-paid roles to fill. Many successful IT recruiters are people who previously worked in or studied IT, but found they preferred a more people focused job or a competitive sales environment for their career, rather than using their IT knowledge to work on projects or in the IT departments of companies. Others are people whose aspirations have always been in recruitment, and wh

Social media has changed a lot of things, and the amount of knowledge available to strangers about a given person is certainly one of them. This is definitely something people are using to do much more than check up on who their ex is dating – a recent survey found that 60% of employers research their job candidates on social media as part of the interview process.

Back in the day, if you knew someone who worked in one of those trendy offices that had a table football game and a PlayStation in a corner somewhere, it was a huge source of envy. How different, it seemed, life must be, if your working environment was a little bit fun, rather than a sea of battleship grey, livened up only by a noticeboard where every post had dodgy Microsoft Office clip art on it. Then, as we headed into the early 2000’s, more businesses started trying to make their work sites feel a bit more fashionable and fun, and in som

If you work in recruitment, you probably have a fairly wide mix of ages on your recruitment database when it comes to candidates. The generation known as ‘Millennials’, which depending on which definition you look at, usually includes people born between about 1982 and the early 2000’s, is now a huge feature of the working population, and older millennials – people now in their late twenties and early thirties – are also increasingly filling senior professional positions. Whether or not you yourself are a Millennial, it is likely you have a

Working from home is something that many jobs can now offer, but not every business has caught on to the benefits yet and many still tend to be reluctant to let people work remotely. There are obvious benefits to working from home for employees, reducing their cost in both time and money for getting to work, and allowing them to be more flexible when it comes to things like childcare, but what a lot of employers don’t consider is the benefits that they can also gain by allowing, or even encouraging, home working for people in roles that can

We recently announced the release of our new contract module, an addition to our cloud recruitment software that allows agencies to track contractor time using online timesheet management. This new module in the Chameleon-i recruitment management software suite was developed in answer to a common problem – paper time sheet systems are a pain for everyone involved. Time reporting is crucial when you have contractors, but filling out paper time sheets, getting them signed off by the employer and submitted to the agency is a chore, and far from
