I was able to relax and observe as the candidates were put through their paces by the staff, mentally noting the potential stars of the day.
I had arranged a rotation of three stages, having sp
Tomorrow is a busy day for me, and several of the staff in my organisation.
Tomorrow, we will be holding a shortlisting day for our trainee selection process. We've whittled down from over 100 applications to 30 that we think might be right for the ro
You may have already heard from CIPD direct about the changes they are making to the upgrading process- from student member to associate membership? But I wanted to make sure all DPG participants had been given this great message as soon as CIPD perm

As I sit here after 11pm after two days on the @DPGplc stand at a buzzing #CIPD13, I can’t get away from a few thoughts and feelings. It’s niggled me all day so I’m just going to put it down and see what happens.
This morning I attended HR Unscramble
We have a situation at work where we employ relief workers as and when required. I just wondered if anyone could help me out; do they need a zero hours contract, and if so what goes in and what doesn't? Thanks anyone.
