Employee resigns and then asks how much his severance pay will be. What?

Check the location of the recruiter you have found on LinkedIn. Do they recruit in your area?

The work you do now for your job hunt will pay off next year.

Don’t stop looking for work now. Keep on until the end of the year.

If you are trying to attract excellent sales people, but you can’t put together a proper commission structure, what are you doing?

If you apply to a job and they reply saying you need to send your CV in a different format and they know a guy who can help for a small fee, it’s a SCAM!

Never put your ID or passport number on your CV.

There are lots of scams targeting job seekers so be careful.

Don’t slow down on the job search, even though it’s near the end of the year. The work you do now will bear fruit early next year.

It’s great to have ‘cocktail’ Fridays and ‘bowling Wednesdays, but what staff really want is more money.

Last quarter of 2026 - how many companies will decide to stop recruiting and look again next year?
51
Instead of rushing to fill a vacancy, take some time to think about how that role fits into the organisation and how it impacts other people. Sometimes companies just fill a role without thinking about the long term.

Treat people well during the recruitment process.

Just had someone reply to a LinkedIn message after 3 years. Amazingly, it turns out they are now looking for a job.
