Now we are more back into the swing of things we're working on our Directors events for 2014 and starting to look at our technology event which will be in June. We're continuing with our bi-monthly #rechangout and this week's (Wednesday at 1pm) is on the subject of 'Should recruiters be using Google+?' with the brilliant Andy Headworth.
We also launch the first in our new features this year with our new 'Confessions of a Recruiter". If you wish to contribute to this or 'Recruiters Inspiration' please drop me a note.

This was in the early days of the internet when emails weren’t quite instantaneous so I rushed down to the ‘Server Room’ to unplug everything.
