A Note from the Editor


I had to share this exchange I came across on a neighbourhood Facebook group that has 2,200 members from the local community. Why, why, why would you put this on a post looking for employment?! And don't even get me started on the initial question! Is there a way to make yourself more unemployable? 

In other news, early bird registration for our November Recruitment Conference ends on the 30th September so do book now. During the course of the day we will bring together the UK’s leading recruitment experts to cover a multitude of topics relevant to our sector; technology, client development, candidate engagement and experience, agency/in-house relationships, social media and sales/driving results. As with previous events most sessions will be a mixture of speaker lead learning and group led debate and discussion. Whilst some sessions will be more focused on in-house and some more for agencies the audience will be made up of anyone from within the recruitment space. You can find out all the details for the day including all the speakers, here on our booking page.
