Had to write about this. We have all been there, bored of listening to clichéd stuff from people who think it’s impressive to use jargon when simple words would be better, and more interesting. Have a look and see if you are guilty as charged, or know someone who is!! www.londonlovesbusiness.com/lifestyle/london-culture/are-you-social-not-working-or-blue-sky-drinking-the-uks-worst-office-jargon-nick-hewer-video/7274.article?utm_source=Sign-Up.to&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=17719-208628-24%2F01%2F2014+Subscribers+newsletter Well, were you?

Rec-to-Rec, R2R, Recruitment Jobs…What do you expect?
We consider ourselves recruiters. Whether we are recruiting in London, Cardiff, Liverpool or Newcastle, what we do is the same. Deliver a good service to our clients and candidates alike and treat them as we would want to be treated. We have been in both situations. As an hiring manager, we have had rec-to-rec’s spec

Strange reasons for losing your job!
None of us really want to lose our job, despite how much sometimes we might not enjoy it, at least it pays the bills. There are some unlucky souls out there who their employer just felt that they could no longer employ them, but for some very strange reasons. So for a bit of a
Rec-to-rec in Cardiff
There’s quite a few rec-to-rec agencies out there, across the UK, and they all do what they do well. But what if you’re a recruitment professional looking for a local rec-to-rec in South Wales?

Job titles – Best or Worst (depending how you look at it)
We all have a job title, most are self-explanatory, Cook, Driver, Shelf Stacker, Manager, you get the picture. But over the years, there has been a rise in creative titles for jobs that really don’t need them. For instance, if you were to go and get lunch from Subway, you would be served by a
Classic excuses for calling in sick…
Every now and then, we all get ill, it is unavoidable and sometimes we have to take the day off work. We rest up, get better and return to work healthier. No big problem there. Our employer can cope and it’s better than you spreading your germs all over the workplace. But there are some
The rise and rise of Permanent People…
Just over three months ago, I ventured into the unknown to start Permanent People, with the idea of trying to make a small difference in the world of recruitment. That does sound clichéd I know but after working in the industry for over ten years, I thought it was time to try to shake things
