I am one of those guys who likes to celebrate achievement. Society today can be too quick to judge something like the Oscars as sycophantic, narcissistic indulgence for the elite. But I disagree, in a world of 24-hour news that makes the heart sink, a night in front of the Oscars can really make you smile, especially now they cut the acceptance speeches right down!

So following Meryl's 17 nominations it sparked a thought as to how many people take part in a recruitment "production". Please allow for some dramatic license here! But the best part is when a recruitment production goes well, everybody is lauded, everybody gets a clap and sometimes even an award (let's call it commission). Similarly in the movies when a bad production is released it is critiqued and lambasted from every tree top, it is made fun of and sometimes people even walk out mid way through. 

Again back in the recruitment production have you ever thought what like for like awards we could have and just how many awards we could give here are just a few:

Behind the scenes

Best Researchers

Best Administrator

Best Data entry

Best Marketing

Best Consultant

Best Manager

Best Director

Best pitch

Front of house

Best headhunt

Best team move

Best negotiation

Best salary increase

Best new career

Best team building day

Best advert

Best website

Best acceptance

Best employer

Feel free to add your nominations above and we will start the "feel good" movement of the Recruitments Oscars! Apologies for the ramble but I guess I just want to remember all those who in my recruitments productions have been amazing and continue to inspire, you know who you are. Also I want to thank my mum.... Ok enough now.....music and black out...
