Seemingly out of the blue, I’ve lost all my frequently used extension icons, which typically appear to the right of the address bar. Where I used to see icons for things like HootSuite, LastPass, and Screen Capture, now there’s just a little double-arrow I have to click in order to see a drop-down list of...
In recruitment, we have become used to technology that performs at least some of the tasks we need, and then trying to match that solution with other technology we might use, to fill the gaps. In an industry which once relied entirely on paper based systems, we have always been keen to use tech solutions...
I don’t believe in SEO, at least not in the way I’m supposed to. The very best Search Engine Optimisation is website activity, not the black arts of keyword stuffing second guessing Google’s algorithms. The central premise of SEO is not specifically to optimise your website for search engines. Rather, it is to put in place a...

Everyone in the recruitment sector will have at least some experience of this subject, and yet the views of so many people will often be wildly different. There really is no universal understanding of Profiling. The term psychometric profiling actually refers...
So many logos I see these days are absolutely terrible, and have clearly not been designed for use online. I’m no designer, but have had occasion over the years to produce product and company graphics for a variety of purposes. The skills and talent of design professionals is not in any doubt, but as a...
This is an article I’ve had published in the March 2012 edition of Recruiter Magazine. What does every recruitment firm have in common with social media platforms like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and Google+? We all maintain a large, and growing, database of individuals. Doing so confers a list of responsibilities which we share, and...
