Got something worth saying about hiring or job hunting in NZ?
We'd love to hear your real experience, real insight, no fluff and no spam. Posts from either side welcome: what it's actually like hiring right now, or what it's actually like looking for a job right now. Submit your idea for review, and if it's a fit, we'll run it here and give you 3 free job listings on EMeetE (for employers) or a $50 Prezzie Card (for job seekers (when this gets busier!)) as a thank you.
