(June 24, 2003) - The British market continues to surprise. There are more (11 Million) interactive TV installations, than homes with PCs tied to the net. The historical strength of the third party recruiting industry (you need these skills to successfully run an empire) has led to a flowering of small shops and job boards.

We've taken a fancy to the RecruitmentConsultant, a small e-zine that covers news and techniques in the arena. The site offers an interesting level of depth with regular coverage of the press release flow. There are several items worth perusing:

• The Winter 2003 National Online Recruitment Audience Survey results which detail skills spreads and traffic for a variety of job boards.
• Candidates On The Web, the current feature article which gives a clear impression of how far behind the UK is in adopting the net as a recruiting tool.
• A good article on PR Planning to counter 'suck' sites.
• An archive that provides clean insight into market evolution

We loved the following short piece:

Workers who continually complain about work may have a similar condition to post-traumatic stress disorder, scientists in Germany have claimed.

A two year research programme about workplace anxiety has identified an illness which the scientists have dubbed post-traumatic embitterment disorder.

Symptoms of the condition include feelings of depression, aggression or helplessness and sufferers are likely to take more days of sick and have phobias about people and places linked to work.

Employees susceptible to the condition are likely to lead lives that revolve around work and being passed over for promotion of feeling under-valued is likely to aggravate the disorder.

People who focus on activities outside work such as hobbies and family are much less likely to be affected.
