HR Club Sydney

Are we being too PC these days?

As you might already know, my partner works in the media industry and I like to hear about what he does when he comes home just as he listens to me and my HR adventures for that particular day. He’s accompanied me to HR events and I like to go along to some of his [...]

How far would you be willing to go to get a job?

So this is a guy in the U.S. and he has targeted Razorfish because he really wants to work there. Facebook advertising is quite cool in the way you can actually target the ads on really specific data on the users. You can target people based on the standard things like age,location and gender.
