How to write a job brief that gets the right applicants
Most briefs describe the last person. Here is how to describe the next one.

What a good recruiter should tell you about your salary
If the number is below market, you want to hear it before the search, not after.

Contract or permanent: which one does the role actually need?
A twelve-month project and a seat on the team are different hires.

The first ninety days: why placements fail and how to stop it
Most resignations in year one are decided in month one.

How to prepare for a second-stage interview
For candidates: what the panel is looking for, and the three questions to ask them.
