Last night I had a lot of fun with Jan Rosa of Harvey Nash discussing technology and recruitment and some of the tools he is using in his daily job. Jan is one of the most technically savvy recruiters I have met in the Irish marketplace. After a quick discussion on technology related topics it's obvious to see that he comes from a technical background. What I like about Jan is his passion for recruitment innovation. He likes to self-learn, tinker and play with technology and is a definite cyber gypsy crafting new sourcing strategies constantly. He understands the software lifecycle in depth and is at home talking about "the stack", mobiles, servers, and a variety of coding languages.
I conducted a quick down an dirty amateur video interview with him and the below video provides some answers to questions such as:
Which he prefers Firefox, Chrome, Explorer or Safari?
Google, Bing or Yahoo?
What is his favourite phone?
Is he a cloud recruitment believer? and,
Why he likes Twitter?
And there was plenty of more that he shared which I'm sure a lot of Irish Recruiters will find very interesting.
Apologies for the poor lightening and terrible camera work but at least the audio is half decent! Tip: don't shoot film in bars at night with dodgy little handcams!
You can expect some more videos from some of the winners in the coming months which the individuals who subscribe to the the new Irish Recruiters newsletter will have access to.

Dreamjob.com.br - brillant ad!
For those of you that don't know me too well let me tell you that I have worked and lived in Brazil on many occassions and I consider it very much my second home after Ireland.
I like to monitor the job market in Brazil as much as possible and I've been paying attention of late to a lot of the pay for job searching services that job seekers need to use when searching on niche job boards in Brazil. An interesting business model that doesn't work in Ireland but is quite often the norm in Sao Paulo and Rio. A bit like a job seeker in Ireland having to pay 50 euros a month to use Irish Jobs and register their CV online.
In looking at some of this research I came across a really funny video for a new job board, that would give the big budgets of Monster and CareerBuilder a run for there money:www.dreamjob.com.br.

Irish Recruiters TV - Meet Jonhathan Campbell of Select People
As part of building out the Irish Recruiters Network I have decided to get the camcorder out, dust it off, wipe the lens and start meeting some people on the road to put some faces behind the names and learn about what products, services and innovation some of the members are offering. I also think that this is a great way to get people's opinions on the recession and how technology is so quickly providing a plethora of tools to allow recruiters get more efficient and effective at most elements of the recruitment process.
Forgive me for my poor light management, framing, audio balancing, post production editing and the terrible orangey tunsun lighting in the background but as time goes by I hope that the productions can become a little slicker.
First up is Jonathan Campbell from Select People Limited. Jonathan talks about some of his searching techniques as well as using Xing in Germany and cultural differences when recruitment across Europe. He also talks about the way recruitment is changing in the recession and the rise of the "smart candidate".
Don't forget to the hit the HD button on the bottom of the YouTube video to get a better visual.
