Guys,<p>Not sure how it got picked up, but i don't think it's a creppy stalking of my profile...in fact i am flattered. Thank you for your feedback.<p>Couple of things that I think is worth adding here:<p>1. This article was the first article i ever wrote for Oxford Knight 2 years ago. The date refresh on our website is wrong. My intention was to give something back to the community I serve, and also learn from feedback. Some of it does look like I am stating the obvious, but at the time it wasn’t obvious to everyone. Furthermore, recruitment isn’t designed to be open-source. It’s all about protecting IP at the lowest level, so to open up even a little bit is a big step for us/recruiters….i hope some of you guys can appreciate that .<p>2. The article was written looking at how I used to recruit in 2006. Shallow, buzz word chasing, educational profile chasing etc. I like to think I’ve evolved a bit since 2006, but do understand I still have a lot to learn an certainly won’t let my non-technical background get in the way.<p>3. If you guys are interested in seeing some of my more recent stuff I’ve written, it maybe worth jumping on to my quora profile where I write more actively about the technology trends in london….Quora (Abdul-Muhit).<p>4. Finally, I do feel the pain of how recruitment operates now. Changing a £4 billion industry is not easy, and no technical innovation is going to make a sector of that size disappear anytime soon. I founded Oxford Knight with the view of creating a legacy not a transaction service business. For a boy that was raised by a single mother on benefits I have all the little things I need now! For me it’s all about creating a legacy….something built to last. Therefore, if we have upset anyone of you guys with below par service then please do feel free to email directly, and I promise I will do my upmost to fix it.<p>Best,
Abdul co-founder of Oxford Knight
