Over the last two weeks I have been isolated from the Fuse business, working from home. In this time, I haven’t had much choice other than using Microsoft Teams video calling to make my daily calls and catch ups with the team. It quickly became apparent to me that a) video calling and conferencing is going to be absolutely vital to the sanity, engagement and survival of our ...

My week actually started on Friday 7th of February with a Team Lunch. Great way to be introduced to the team in an informal setting with plenty of banter and laughs. Monday 10th of February: Super excited after meeting everyone on Friday I jumped right in. Mathew ter Haar gave me the run down with a tour of the building and essential information followed by an over view of t...

As a Recruitment Resourcer, I can confidently say that cultural fit is always considered when conducting new hires. An organisation’s work culture is essentially the glue that holds employees together. From the hiring manager’s perspective, knowledge, skills, and abilities can be taught through training and mentoring. However, when it comes to a candidate’s morals, values, a...

It was a grand opening, the team made me feel special and I could sense great vibes from the first few minutes. Everyone here is very approachable! I’ve had great extensive training both system and practical and they’ve been really supportive. I am looking forward to my adventure with FUSE and I can’t wait to meet the rest of the team across the country! Monday 11/11/2019: -...

As a Recruitment Resourcer, I read countless amounts of resumes daily. So, I feel like I can say that there are a lot that go by that could use a face-lift and maybe a nip and tuck. So, you’re either unemployed, employed and seeking a new challenge or something along those lines. I mean kudos to you, applying for jobs is a time lengthy process that takes it out of you both p...

We’re not in Kansas anymore. And we're certainly not in 2010 anymore. The world has changed and so has our preferred method of communicating. Face to face communicating or even verbal for that matter has been de-prioritised in favour of written correspondence – emails, texts or messages via LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram. Heck, even chats using images is now a thing (fully ...

As someone who was a recent graduate and essentially new to workforce it’s difficult to sum up how months worth of experiences have shaped who I am and how I work now. Like many students I’ve only had one other job not relevant to my studies at university. By the time final semester rolls around you start applying for jobs you spent the last three years learning about, but w...

Monday Today was a public holiday. I spent the day with my family, JetSkiing and tubing. I didn’t take into account how much sun I was actually getting and as a result, was severely sunburnt by the end of the day. Tuesday I arrived on my first day as a Fuse employee - red and swollen in the face from my sunburn - to find my desk decorated with chocolates, a card signed by th...

Have you ever had that moment when you try a type of food you’ve always thought you hated and are surprised to find you actually like the taste? The same thing can happen in your career. Be open to taking on new opportunities, new challenges, and new roles. Every new opportunity or experience is a chance to identify what you love and what you hate. Trying new things may lead...

Like many working parents I breathed a sigh of relief this week when holidays ended and school went back. It’s always a juggling act to balance a healthy dose of fun for the kids whilst maintaining some semblance of a constructive work routine. I’ve been doing this juggling act for eight years now and felt like I had it down to a fine art until I found myself without a babys...
