After lots of conversations with candidates and employers using Chinwag Jobs during 2007, it appeared that a dearth of high calibre candidates was causing headaches to many companies across the digital media sector. To get a fuller picture of the situation, the Chinwag Jobs Digital Skills Survey 2007 was undertaken in December 2007 and with over 200 respondents, a clearer view emerged.

We've just put out a survey on Chinwag Jobs to guage what's happening in the recruitment sector. It'll be interesting to get feedback on the problems (or perhaps not) of recruiting and retaining digital people over the last year.

Much attention in the office is being focused on the shiny new Xbox 360, complete with extra control pad and games that's sitting in the corner of the office. Sadly for the Chinwag crew, it's destined for a lucky entrant to a Chinwag Jobs prize draw.

Getting anything done when you work "on the web" is pretty tricky these days. Well, apologies in advance for adding to the virtual social whirl that so many of the Chinwag massive inhabit.
