getstaffed is recruitment 2.0

I’ve been a bit slack on the blog postings, sorry! Lots of other stuff to do, and I just seem to drop the ball sometimes, like an all black in a world cup quarter final.

getstaffed is building up steam, we have some new companies on board, and we are getting a much clearer picture of what motivates those companies. Some are cost driven, which means they use seek a lot, whereas others are not so motivated by cost, so they utilise recruiters a lot.

So now we are just working out how to pitch things correctly, to let these guys know the value of getstaffed. We have both our member and business side to keep happy, and one won’t grow without the other. And vice versa. Like a super chicken/egg story, not quite sure which is which! We also need to let our members know that a lot of our companies don’t post jobs, but prefer to search and contact directly. And, we need to do it in such a way that people don’t get pissed with our communications and start flagging us as spam!

In any case, we’re definitely trying to make things better/easier/faster. We are looking at raising some cash to be a bit more aggressive in growth terms in NZ. So we will let you know how that goes. Shes a hard road, finding the perfect business plan/execution strategy/etc!

as always, let us know if you love us/hate us/have suggestions/have criticisms/just want to chat about the market/have a nice cookie recipe!
