The Hub latest..........

I know its a bit of a cop-out but I have been adding the below to the various Linkedin Groups this morning to generate some more Hub conversations. I do find Linkedin very useful for posting to a large network qucikly although I always receive a mixed response.

Yesterday, I also had my first meeting based on a lead from Twitter! I still need convincing about Twitter but as its quick to use then why not.

On the topic of social and professional networking tools, I look forward with great interest to Google Wave when it is launched and can see a wealth of opportunities for recruitment businesses. Especially to communicate and share information with a large network swiftly. There are of course plans for The Hub to make use of this technology!

In preparation, I have been purchasing some URL's which we have plans for such as -

http://www.jobwave.co.uk/ and http://www.recruitment-wave.com/

These have received hits already despite them being pointed to adverts on Sedo. I get 4p if you click on one of the adverts!

I really think that if it does what it says it will, the Google Wave could transform the way that we communicate as a business. - Watch this space!

Finally, I have got around to adding Google Analytics to this site so can see how many are reading. Fairly modest numbers but double figures each day so don't be shy and leave a comment!

Anyway, here is what i was posting earlier -

A recent poll, published in a recuitment industry magazine, indicated that 78% of polled recruiters were considering or were actively working in collaboration with other UK recruitment businesses. Is this an area that you are considering as a business?
I am interested to hear from any UK Recruitment Business Leaders interested in collaboration.

The Splits model is growing in popularity in the UK recruitment market but we are behind other countries. From our feedback and comms so far, it seems that the slower growth of this market in the UK is due to a lack of awareness rather than a reluctance to work with the model. Some recruiters will always be reticent and of course the model does not suit everyone but what has had the greatest affect on growth of this model? (Good and Bad!)

We set up The Hub as part of a UK based £120m recruitment plc to specifically cater for the UK market.The Hub provides the small independent recruiter with the delivery capability of a large recruitment plc rather than a network of similar independents as in other models. Being a larger recruitment organisation, we therefore have our own large mature databases together with greater access to online resources and work across a range of industries.
