If you've not spotted the Wayne Kerr character fromRecruitment Juice's DVD series then you HAVE to check him out. Come on, we've all worked with a recruiter just like Wayne in the past or maybe you're sat next to one right now!
Recruitment Juice have a nice little competition they are running at the moment (with Vine Resources) … "The Beat Wayne competition is challenging recruiters to send in fun, inspirational videos of their placement celebrations, with prizes on offer for the three best entries."
To enter you just need to make a video of your placement celebration and submit it by 13th August. Winners will be announced at www.beatwayne.com on 1st September. The first prize is £500 and a cameo appearance in the next Recruitment Juice series, plus a full suite of the award-winning Recruitment Juice DVD training programmes worth more than £1,800 (second prize is dinner for two at a top restaurant in the winner’s local city and the third prize is a copy of the Recruitment Juice Live DVD worth £199).
Back in the 90s when I worked for a recruitment company we used to have a bell which was in the main office – when someone got a placement they got up and rang the bell. Sadly after a couple of years it was deemed too cheesy and there wasn't a "proper" celebration mechanism (although standing up and shouting YES whilst punching the air seemed to be pretty standard). I love the idea that people celebrate placements or retainers (or in some dodgy firms – even a candidate turning up for interview). So, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the winning video.
