Rusher Roger’s weekly wrap-up report on what’s happening in the world of Rusher Rogers, our clients, our candidates and the recruitment market. The importance of accepting decisions especially if they are negative, with grace, has really resonated with me this week. Accepting decisions and learning from that experience is a real skill and not easy when you weren’t expecting a different outcome or disagree with the decision.  So what can you do to make the best of it?  Take the...

Another busy week, well month actually, as activity continues to pick up speed from the holiday break.

Melbourne gets back to work quickly.  Second week of January, the trains are fuller, the roads are busier and Melbourne is full of visitors with the Australian Open starting on Monday. We have had a flurry of new roles in pretty quickly, already indicating what sort of year it's going to be. So we are keen to speak...

Rusher Roger’s weekly wrap-up report on what’s happening in the world of Rusher Rogers, our clients, our candidates and the recruitment market. I LOVE my job. This is not always the case though, but the last couple of weeks with the lead up to Christmas has meant that I have been out and about, in front of clients spreading some Christmas cheer and importantly reconnecting with all the people we have placed over the year/s.  This experience always reconfirms in...

Rusher Roger’s weekly wrap-up report on what’s happening in the world of Rusher Rogers, our clients, our candidates and the recruitment market.   This week I was fortunate to be able to attend Australia's National Not For Profit Leaders Forum in Sydney. Two info crammed days listening to and discussing the key challenges facing NFP’s nationally plus a couple of more focused workshops on the third day specifically dealing with digital implementation and attracting and retaining talent.

Rusher Roger’s weekly wrap-up report on what’s happening in the world of Rusher Rogers, our clients, our candidates and the recruitment market. First impressions really stick with you don’t they?  We all know the importance of making the right first impression in an interview situation, and certainly when we meet a potential new client for the first time…it can be make or break.  So first impressions after our first week settling into our new CBD based offices have really leapt...

Rusher Roger’s weekly wrap-up report on what’s happening in the world of Rusher Rogers, our clients, our candidates and the recruitment market. Last week we were invited to attend an informative evening for Good Shepherd Information at their Mornington office. It was a great opportunity for potential candidates to get some one on one time with influential members of staff, and as recruiters we found it invaluable to be able to talk to the team about what they enjoy about their roles...

The countdown is on for the Not-For-Profit People Conference and there’s plenty to get excited about in addition to the bar and canapés networking opportunities promised on the first evening… Aimed at educating not-for-profit leaders on how best to attract and retain talented people for their organisations, it’s unsurprising that health and wellbeing in the workplace is one of 6 focus points of the Not-For-Profit People Conference and a subject of some of the talks and sessions made available to...

Every now and then I come across an article that really gets my attention. 'Companies with women in leadership roles crush the competition' from Business Insider is one such article. It tackled the importance of gender diversity in corporate leadership. Despite the evidence of studies showing the positive change in having more women in executive positions, and how this leads to better performance, "the percentage of women in leadership roles is still frustratingly low, and it isn’t changing." This got me thinking. How do we get...
