		<title>Don&#8217;t Believe All That You Read (Apart From What Is In This Blog)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a well worn adage that you shouldn&#8217;t believe all that you read. However, as the legal press is pretty conservative, I, like most people, generally take most of what I read on face value. People read these industry magazines to get an informed view of current events and from a recruitment point of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interesting Articles &#8211; Australia and Ireland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this job, I read a lot of articles about the world of legal practice. The vast majority are reasonably dull but I came across a couple this morning which I found to be very interesting. The first one relates to the Irish legal market.

		<title>ALB&#8217;s New Zealand Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a link to the ALB&#8217;s annual overview of the NZ legal market. It makes for very interesting reading. I get the feeling that the author was a little frustrated with how evasive some of the participants were, especially when talking about their firm&#8217;s finances. This sort of information is readily available overseas but is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are We At A Crossroads?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One phrase that keeps cropping up when I am talking to clients and candidates at the moment is that it is an &#8216;interesting time&#8217; in the legal recruitment market. What is happening in the recruitment markets is always &#8216;interesting&#8217; because it is a good barometer as to the overall health of the economy. In other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interesting NZ Law Firm News!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New Zealand legal landscape is not known for providing a huge amount of exciting news but in the last week or so, I have seen a couple of very interesting articles that are definitely worth a read.

		<title>UK firms remain wary despite elevated recruitment figures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The title of this post is the title of an article from the latest edition of the UK&#8217;s The Lawyer magazine which you can read here &#8211; http://www.thelawyer.com/1004112.article. The tenor of this article sums up for me exactly the uncertainty in the recruitment market at present and the influence that the press has on people&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the delay since my last post but sometimes life gets in the way of blogging and we have to deal with more important things than legal recruitment.

		<title>Where It&#8217;s At</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Where it&#8217;s at&#8217; is not just one of my favourite songs (by Beck incidentally) but is also a variation of a question that I get asked at least once a day. Everyone wants to know what the job market is looking like now and what it will be looking like over the coming weeks and months. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2010 has started off with a sense of renewed confidence in the legal recruitment market. There is &#8216;cautious optimism&#8217; that this year will see an increase in the amount of vacancies around which will bring a sigh of relief to numerous jobseekers who are keen (and have been for a while) to move on from their current roles.
