Hey Everyone, Welcome to another week of On Hiring! Firstly, massive thanks to you all for your support for this newsletter. I heard from the Revue team last week that we’ve made the Explore section of the Revue main site, which is effectively the Recommend section of their site. This is amazing progress for a newsletter that has been going for less than half a year and it should mean more recruiters, getting recruiting brainfood! Secondly, many of you have been asking if I am willing to feature your original content on the newsletter. The answer is - of course! I am very keen to see your original content, so please do email me if you think more people should see it. Please understand that I won’t feature it if it is a) off topic b) self promotional or c) below quality threshold. Finally, sharing is caring folks, so if you are getting value from this weekly digest and think others in your team could benefit, please do recommend via email or social share. Thanks! Hung Hung Lee is the founder of WorkShape.io - the revolutionary hiring platform for Software engineers

LookSee Wellington
Who else needs to hire in difficult locations? Superb initiative here from Wellington, New Zealand, where the city, employers and tourist board have come together to make the location a strength rather than weakness.

This can’t be excused and has to stop
Back in my agency days, this was called ‘reverse marketing’ a candidate into a prospective client. With a lot of research, consideration and a clear mandate from the candidate, this might just be ok. But there’s no way this approach is going to work. Doesn’t help agencies, or their reputation. Good post from blogging newbie Richard Saunders. RECRUITMENT AGENCIES
