Hide recruiter job adverts? No thanks1:29pm Thursday 18 December 2008
Tags: Hippo http://www.hippo.com.au sneaked in this update to the search function about a month ago. You can exclude adverts from recruiters and your advert is highlighted in the search results.

Recruitment Agency Discrimination?

Tags: I am very fortunate enough to be informed daily about new products, innovations and technology from job boards, recruitment agencies and ATS providers - some of that information can be publically talked about, but most (approx 80%) can't be divulged due to various confidentiality agreements. Today I was sent a number of screen shots of an iphone recruitment application in concept development for a [company] in the Australian market. It was very flash, web2.0... but I am not really sure if it will take off (10,000 apps already created for the iphone)

Tags: How many times do you have to tell people that your website MUST BE SECURE?? I have reported this previously to the owner of this leading Recruitment Agency, but it has STILL not been fixed.

Tags: There are 2 main HR community forums in Australia - HR Buzz http://www.hrbuzz.com.au and AHRI's HR Connect http://www.ahri.com.au/hrconnect These forums are a great chance to have your say on subjects, or talk about a problem you are facing. I have used both forums in the past, and would recommend users to try both. AHRI's is very limited - as there are no "social" functions for profiles, connecting users, email follow ups etc. Where as, HR Buzz is a community driven site built on a forum platform with integrated social tools.
