Thanks for joining the panel last night, Matt. It was great to have you in our gang!

You're not kidding about scratching the surface. As chair, I dutifully prepared some talking points and I didn't get past the first two. We ended up going for an hour and 45 minutes. It might be the longest Chinwag Live ever.

I suspect we could've run on for quite a while, especially with so many good contributions coming from the audience as well as the panel.

It'd be good to have a look at this again in six months and see how things have (hopefully) moved forwards.

Matt,

I have to share your frustration with clients, who regularly moan about not getting the right calibre of candidates. Then when you dig deeper, you find that they are reliant on agencies, and have no strategy of direct resourcing of any sort at all! It is then surprising that when you mention direct recruiting, they then look at you as if you have two heads!!
They will only learn when it costs them shed loads of cash on fees!!

Well done on the blog results.

Andy
