Welcome to the Blackman Mansfield Recruitment Blog!!

Welcome to our new blog!

Joanne and I are really excited to have the opportunity to share with you our experiences, tips, insights and stories relating to Recruitment & HR, Management & Leadership as well as South Australian business and other related workplace news. Subscribers to our blog will also receive invitations to the various events and workshops we hold and other exclusive promotions and offers.

Anyone who knows Joanne and I would understand it didn’t take long for us to come up with a good 20+ topics we’d like to cover [we do love to share a good story!], plus a few amusing/slightly shocking/entertaining experiences we’ve had during our time in recruitment and management. We will also have ‘guest’ writers from time to time – industry experts, leadership coaches, organisational psychologists and perhaps a story from a candidate or two.

So now the hard part begins – actually getting this stuff down on paper! So bear with us, we’ll be back shortly with some cracking blogs!

In the meantime we’ll be sharing a bit of background information on the two of us [Joanne Blackman and Melanie Mansfield] so you can get to know us, and what we’re all about.

Please feel free to make suggestions on what you would like us to cover and we encourage you to share our blog with friends and colleagues.
