Recruitment Nick

Well the polls are closed, the votes are in and it looks like some people are finding what I am doing useful!
Hopefully some of you will have noticed the poll that was running in the top corner asking if this site was of use to you.
Unfortunately only 20 people voted. Whilst this blog hardly [...]

Before you rush off and do what on earth you want, DO YOUR RESEARCH.
That goes for websites and blogs as much as it does what I considered more ‘real’ business activities. As I just said I have bought recruitmentnick.com and recruitmentnick.co.uk which is great. I have bought them so I can gain some [...]

Exciting time for me today, just went off an bought myself some domain names!
Bought the names needed for my small business, but also decided to splash out a little and buy a couple of more (aided by the huge $11 I have made off google adverts in the last 3 weeks).

Networking is the current buzzword of recruitment, from blogs (like this one), to twitter, linkedin, facebook, myspace and the whole web 2.0 thing we are hearing how it is revolutionizing recruitment.
Meaning I must be completely behind the times then. As I said it has been two years [...]

Once again thanks to Vicky at Skala marketing we have some more free marketing info for you all.
If you remember she gave us a free marketing guide before that laid out the basics that any marketing plan should follow. Well this time we have a number of pamphlet type materials that explain a number of [...]

As I said previously I have been investigating the uses of twitter and how it can be used in a business context.
