A Note from the Editor
Last week, Louise did a live chat show with Firefish about recruiters attending and running events. They covered things like:

  • Why face to face networking still has a place in Recruitment
  • How to get recruiters to attend/share their knowledge
  • Whether corporate entertaining is making a comeback in recruitment
  • Whether a small/start-up agency can/should host events
  • How do you decide which type of event to run
  • and what is the ROI of running events

You can find out all about it here.

This blog from Mitch Sullivan really made me laugh this week. Thank you Mitch! Talking of things that made me laugh, check out The Poke's "What not to do at an interview: the 11 funniest tweets" in the articles below.
