I was in Sydney for a couple of days around two weeks ago now and I was surprised to hear IT Recruiters and Employers talking about the way they source candidates.
The two recruiters I talked with very rarely would use www.seek.com.au but relied purely on their database, www.linkedin.com and getting referrals from people.
From what I can see within New Zealand the likes of www.seek.co.nz website still plays a vital part in the recruitment game (more vital than in Australia) and would get used alongside getting referrals and using the Linkedin portal.
There will always be a place for the Internet job boards but it will be interesting to see whether the trend in Sydney comes to New Zealand?
Regarding referrals people (agencies) were offering up to $1,000 AUD for referring someone to them that they placed into a role. From what I can see the most an agency is offering in NZ is $250 NZD - it might be time to increase the stakes?
