HR and Social Media

On Friday I attended a breakfast which was organised by Robert Walters (FYI they have an AWESOME view of Sydney from their office- check it out if you get the opportunity). It was called ‘HR & Social Media’ and it was presented by Richard Spencer from the Daemon Group. It was set-out and explained in [...]

Shades of grey or should I just get over it?

Ok so just one last thing after the Digital Citizens Event earlier this week. I posted the question below: and here are some of the responses: Part of me wonders if these responses were just a knee-jerk reaction to someone questioning personal freedom on social media (hey guys you are preaching to the converted here! [...]

Do you trust your employee’s commonsense?

Last night I went along to the first Digital Citizens Event in Sydney. You have heard me mention Social Media Club Sydney before and how I admire the way in which people in the media industry network. Well a few of their members broke away from the group and wanted to start something a bit [...]

This morning, I try my hand at Video to bring you the latest from HR Club Sydney

Inspired by the folks at #Trulondon I thought I might try my hand at some more video content even though I hate watching myself on camera. I seriously didn’t realize the weird way I talk (has everyone else noticed this?? LOL). Anyways, if you can’t view you tube at work the upshot is that I’ve [...]

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. However [...]

We’ve all watched something on youtube (ok perhaps not for work reasons) and we’re seeing a big shift from print media spend in recruitment advertising to the use of video online. Instead of trying to build brand presence by buying ad space in prominent newspapers, companies are giving people insight to the organisation and what [...]

The Australasian Talent Conference: Social Media- A Recruitment Revolution

On Thursday 3rd December, I was fortunate enough to attend the ATC on Social Media: A Recruitment Revolution which was held on Collins Street in Melbourne. Earlier this year I first met Michael Specht at the HR Futures Conference and since this time, I’ve been enthralled about the possibilities that Social Media has for us [...]

I’m back! MC Hammer wrap up, AHRI Awards, Thailand and more

Wow what a whirlwind the past two weeks has been! I have some explaining to do so here goes. So I last left you with MC Hammer. Now, some were disappointed that MC Hammer didn’t come out wearing hammer pants, dancers and music playing in the background. He is still going by the name ‘MC [...]

Can’t touch this!

Tonight I’m a bit excited because Social Media Club Sydney is hosting an event tonight with special guest- MC Hammer! Social Media Club Sydney is the local chapter for http://www.socialmediaclub.org/ and it’s essentially a place for a diverse bunch of people (including people like me who don’t work in marketing or advertising) to get together [...]

Are you encouraging people to be less effective? Theory X and Theory Y perspectives on employees.

There is so much going around the HR circles at the moment about social media and what HR needs to do to be prepared. I love working in HR but sometimes I feel like we (and our legal counterparts) get our knickers in a knot about things when really we should just take a chill [...]
