ah, spring!
Spring is here! I feel it!
I’ve been a bit disconnected recently, with Andrew taking over most of the selling work and me just doing a few updates to the site. I’m blaming winter which normally has a slightly depressing impact, and now that spring is here, I’ve got a good feeling!
getstaffed is starting to pick up, both in terms of business involvement and placement activity. We are getting more jobs up, which is great because they were unsolicited, meaning the companies involved put them up without Andrew or I harassing them. And we’re getting a good number of responses so hopefully some more placements happening.
I mentioned in a previous post how people were looking at getstaffed and not seeing many jobs, because we only advertise real existing jobs, and we expire them every two weeks. Hopefully we are going to be picking up more real jobs as we head into spring. Andrew has been busy contacting CIO’s in Auckland and Wellington, and we’ve had several really informative meetings, including, who would have thought?!?, a meeting with a large (really large) government department.
So with a bit of luck and some prodding, we might prise open the conservative doors of government.
And www.ratemyagency.co.nz has gone really well, and we’re getting a good feel for the state (not so good!) of the IT recruitement industry in New Zealand.
With the coming of spring, and fwuffy bunny wabbits and bouncy lambies, I’ll be posting more often, keeping everyone up-to-date with getstaffed goings on! viva la revolucion!
