Marketing Me, Marketing you.

Welcome to the blog site for IMM Recruitment's specialist recruiters!


The aim of this blog is primarily to assist graduates and job seekers in marketing themselves effectively in the job market, and secondly to further open the channels of communication and learning between ourselves and our candidates.

This IMM Recruitment blog is intended as a mouthpiece for the Recruitment managers of IMM Recruitment as well as our candidates; it is dedicated to learning, sharing and growing among ourselves. It can be viewed as a training ground where job seekers are able to pick up and share tips and experiences, comments and constructive advice to one another. It is essentially a forum then, as much as a blog; a forum for sharing and learning and walking alongside one another during this time of global recession and beyond.

We hope, as recruitment managers for IMM Recruitment, that this will remain a place of honesty and integrity so that we may all grow as individuals and members of the labour force as we continue to build on South Africa's future.

For a long time now, both Isabeau and myself have counselled students, graduates and professionals on their career path, their approach to job hunting and a variety of topics related to work life. We have found that wether our candidates are in Gauteng or Kzn or Cape Town for that matter, there are a number of common needs when it comes to recruitment; namely information, understanding and guidance. For these newcomers to the profession of marketing we have created the blog category  "Marketing Me" where we will post tips, tools and the odd anecdote about things that happen (names witheld) during our walk with these vibrant, dynamic and enthusiastic youngsters that are our graduates.

Between Isabeau and I we've spent, cumulatively, hours, weeks, months, and yes, years growing in  understanding our candidates, our graduates and our niche in the recruitment industry. We hope that on this blog we will be able to share some of our accumulated knowledge with the reader so as to further guide and assist professionals entering into the marketing and sales professions. Since there is no end to knowledge this will also be a place where we can learn from readers. So, if there are any articles you wish to submit, we will most certainly review them towards publishing right here.

We welcome your comments and questions, which we will attempt to answer on this site as far as possible and as much as time permits. It is as much our blog as that of our readers.


Finally, we hope that through this blog you will gain an insight into ins and out of IMM Recruitment's drive and passion to fulfill the vision to Effectively position marketing talent.

In the words of Seneca; "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult."

We hope you enjoy this walk with us.

Happy Job Hunting!
