About

I own and operate two businesses 1. A hospitality staffing and recruitment company called Staff Finder www.stafffinder.com.au Staff Finder is a jobs board, a recruitment agency and a consulting firm all focused on the hospitality industry 2. An online magazine called Hoodies that is all about common sense, authenticity and accountability. hoodiesmag.wordpress.com Both were set up at the height of the COVID crisis one in response to hospitality staffing shortages and the magazine because we need better accountability in society for the people that make decisions that affect all our lives.

Hoodies media

Founder

Hoodies Media is the publisher of the successful online magazine, Hoodies and the newly launched Hoodies Magazine Podcast.
When was the last time you watched the nightly news and thought gees, that all seems fairly balanced and doesn’t focus on the sensational? Well probably not for a while, but how did our most popular media outlets get like this? Greed, power, government and ratings. Now ratings are important because they generate revenue, but are corporations now so devoid of actual humanity they back the rubbish we see on our screens?
It is true that a great portion of people get their news from social media nowadays and a lot of it is garbage, but what we aim to do is to give people honest, direct and common sense views and reports on issues that genuinely matter to the world we all live in.
We believe the world is screaming out for a media company that tells it like it is and doesn’t pander to governments or corporate paymasters.
