In almost all competitive or sales based environments various methods can be used to reward excellence and incentivise staff to go the extra mile for the business, and recruitment is no exception. Different agencies use different ways to dish out rewards and appreciation to their top performers, and while there is no ‘one size fits

While there may be new rules on the horizon, currently it is pretty common practice when you want to know more about somebody the first place to turn is social media.

While LinkedIn is the first port of call in a professional environment – Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are also used by a lot of employers to research potential new hires online. Some reports suggest that as many as 60% of overall employers do this, and you can expect this amount to be higher in the tech industry or in areas like marketing where employers tend to be ver

Many of us are heading off on our summer holidays soon, and sadly many of us still haven’t achieved that beach-bod we promised ourselves after the Christmas break.

This can be due to a number of reasons including long hours spent behind a desk and the temptation to eat less healthy convenience foods rather than use your rare free time shopping and cooking better things. Unfortunately, as well as taking its toll on your weight, the sedentary lifestyle that comes with most office jobs can also make you more vulnerable to stress, make it

We have now made it possible for you to seamlessly track and store all email and diary activity with our Gmail and Google Calendar Synchronisation Module. The Chameleon-i email and diary integrate with Gmail enabling you to track email and diary communications whilst storing them automatically i

It’s that time of year again and both the roads and offices are a little quieter. The summer holidays are here and this notoriously slow part of the year can be quite frustrating with most teams and HR missing important players for two weeks or more.

When you find a potentially interesting candidate for a role you are recruiting, whether they are someone you find online or someone who is already on your recruitment database, but who you haven’t personally spoken to, you are obviously going to be keen to get them on the phone and pitch the job to them. What many recruiters forget when contacting new candidates for the first time is just how many recruitment agents an acti

As a recruiter, you see more CVs than just about any other professional and have a pretty good idea about what works and what doesn’t. However, one thing many managers find surprising when they are hiring for a new role is the low quality of the writing and layout of the CVs of even quite senior and experienced people. As one manager in the IT industry once told me, ‘Don’t people get taught how to do this in school anymore?’.

Well, whether they do or not, there is plenty of advice online from professional writers and employers about ho
