Top industry voices (HR/recruitment blogs) in Australia


Laurel Papworth highlighted Australia’s most popular bloggers. The list is dominated by writers who focuses on marketing and technology themes. A quick scan of the blogosphere reveals a paucity of blogs in the HR/recruitment space. Hopefully things will improve in the future.

Here’s a list of Australian HR/recruitment blogs I read regularly, some I only stumbled into recently.

  1. Uber blogger, Michael Specht is probably the most prolific in the recruitment/HR space in Australia. His reach is international.
  2. Sheryle Moon, MD, RHD, started with Talking Technology. Currently, she is Talking Talent with a new gusto.
  3. Popular blog on online recruitment, written by Geoff Jennings.
  4. Liam Ovenden, CEO RPO Group, shares his insights on Talent Fanatic.
  5. Brett Iredale’s blog focuses on the job board space (No RSS feed facility)
  6. Kelly Magowan, from Sixfigures , is a new and regular commentator on talent issues.
  7. Clayton Wehner dishes out insights, with a regional perspective on Capital Jobs
  8. Latin Ocean, contributes recruitment nuggets with a  marketing slant.
  9. Allison Denny-Collins writes from Canberra, discussing public sector recruitment, under Shifted HR

Let me know the ones I missed.

    Hi Phil,

    Just wanted to let you know about a site that may be of interest to you. It’s designed to allow users the opportunity to critique their experiences with the recruitment industry and scores all agencies accordingly (Australia Specific). It’s web address is www. reviewrecruiter.com.au

    Have a look and let us know what you think.

    Rick.

    Hi .. I was very interested in reading up on Sheryle Moon’s Talking Talent, but the URL seems broken? Is it the right place? I can’t find her on google either?

    Steve, I believe Sheryle has stopped blogging. Hopefully she will be back.

    Would it be too cheeky to add my own name to a list of blogging professionals? I came across this post after a Google search on recruitment bloggers. I must admit I enjoy blogging because it works on so many different levels and what I have done with my site has pulled together a whole bunch of work that I have previously been doing. So even though I am new, it’s a continuation of what I was trying to do with a static page previously.

    On a more serious note, it seems like a few of the bloggers above have stopped blogging. I know blogging is a lot of hard work, but I would be very interested in your thoughts on why this happens.

    Karalyn, thanks for dropping by. As you can tell, this post needs a major update.

    I am not sure why some people stopped blogging. From personal experience, I can tell it’s a lot of hard work. Perhaps, time and changing circumstances are big factors. I know people who struggled to stay fresh and then give up.

    The good news is new blogs keep sprouting up. The HR/recruitment sector is a lot richer then it was before.

    Anyway, in my book anyone who can blog consistently deserves a place in any list.

    Phillip

    One of the things I find most enjoyable about blogging is that there is a real sense of community. I’ve made contact with people all over the world. On that note. Thanks for the interesting posts Phillip. I am about to subscribe, now.

    Hi Phillip,

    I discovered your blog after discovering a backlink from a social media article you did by one of your readers to our site. After reading what you had to say I was hooked on your content ! The thing I very much enjoy about your blogs is just how rich they are in genuine and practical content! You don’t seem to blog just for the sake of having a need to say something!

    I also very much enjoy reading Michael Specht’s blog. I believe you and Michael are the greatest contributors in the Australian recruitment sector.

    Any way, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your work !
