When a Candidate Hates Pakistanis, Indians and other H1B Visa Holders

Posted on October 27, 2010 at 2:12pm 0 Comments

I left a voicemail for someone who looked darn attractive on paper; this is what I received back via email - really...

Dear S. Levy:

I got your voice mail today.

Please provide as much details as you can about the company (including a link to its web site).

Also, please research unless you know, if this is a stable and…

Phishing for Desperate Jobseekers

Posted on October 27, 2010 at 1:56pm 0 Comments

The recent closure of SpamIt.com in Russia has successfully reduced global spam by 20% over the past few days. It's bad enough that spammers are shilling ED drugs - as if sexual potency were the solution to the world's ills - but I've recently seen an uptick in jobseeker spam. This is simply insidious and unconscionable because the senders…

Welcome to the WhitePro Job Board!

Posted on July 20, 2010 at 3:00pm 2 Comments

Hispanics have their LatPro; Asians can learn “…to survive and succeed in America’s workplace” (thx); and the incredible Moss family has HBCUconnect. But where do white people go? I don’t see any “White” job boards or sites that build communities among historically white…

No so fast on leaving New York State

Posted on June 9, 2009 at 7:05am 1 Comment

Back on May 22, I noted that Tom Golisano, founder and billionaire owner of Paychex, decided that New York statutory environment was driving businesses out of the state. Under the now - and hopefully single term - Governor Patterson, New York is becoming a place that is unfriendly towards business; unfriendly to business means unfriendly to recruiting.



Yesterday saw an old fashioned coup up in Albany… Continue

Oh Lord take me now! What is a recruiter to do???

Forbes wants people to reinvent their careers

Posted on May 22, 2009 at 8:45am 0 Comments

Eight people who were once big earners before seeing pink are profiled by Forbes as an indicator that anyone can reinvent themselves and become more fulfilled.



We see a Senior Vice President at Wellpoint who refused to relo from New Hampshire to Indiana - and the company acquiesced; a web development consultant who fiddles with code on his cell while the barber trims his locks;… Continue

Involuntary P/T workforce - a leading indicator

Posted on May 19, 2009 at 11:30am 0 Comments

Involuntary part-time workers account for "...almost one in three of all part-time workers. Almost all the new involuntary part-time workers were formerly full-time workers accepting cutbacks in hours. Part-time employment invariably rises during recessions, but...the magnitude of the rise in this recession has been unprecedented since records were first kept in the 1950s. It also suggests that the jobs numbers and unemployment rate underestimate the extent to which employers have cut costs… Continue

Sung to Pat Benetar's Heartbreaker.



Your thoughts are like a tidal wave, injecting into my mind

Takin’ me to another place where, recruiting isn’t maligned

You're a leading recruiter, you’re someone who I want to be

Will you be my tutor, and take me on a thinking spree

Ann Taylor cuts the fat

Posted on May 14, 2009 at 7:03am 0 Comments

Ann Taylor claims there aren’t any overweight – sorry, big boned - fashion conscious women anymore who can afford the company’s size 16 couture so they’ve made a decision to stop carrying the clothes in their stores only online (sure, women who pay $200 plus for a blouse will happily order it online without first trying it on for fit). Analysts on the other hand see an obvious strategy –… Continue

You have no idea how to really interview candidates

Posted on May 1, 2009 at 9:30am 5 Comments

Kris Dunn wants to waterboard candidates and as a mutual fan of 24, I say it's high time we Jack Bauer potential employees (you'll notice my Jack Bauer facts on the right side of my RBC page).



I just don't call it asking for negative information as Kris puts it; what he's referring to is… Continue

Nice meeting you by phone, Steve. See you around.

Yes, that's a yes. If you wouldn't mind sharing my website with her, or her contact information with me, that would be great. My contact information is on my website. It might be better if she saw what I do first before she contacts me. It takes the pressure off if she's not in the fan arena for my style of work. That's very kind of you. If something works out, that means you get some free art. I always scratch the back of the hand that extends towards me in this regard.

I appreciate it.

Yes, this is really me! It's the other part of me, the artist that HAS to be creative. Thanks for your compliment. I also appreciate the suggestion of a contact at Christies, although I really don't believe I'm in the arena/category of artists that they sell. Don't they typically sell work from World famous and/or dead World famous artists for zillions of dollars through auction? That's my understanding. And I'm certainly not in that category. I'm collected around the World. But there are tons of us artists out there, that no one will ever know on a grand scale, but who enjoy success, but will never be in the publics eye. We're just as good as those that are, but not everyone can fit on the head of a pin!

Thanks again. I always appreciate an art fan and an art compliment. It's almost better than selling a painting. Not AS fun, but almost!

Enjoy your weekend. And thanks for the banter on the "other" topic this week. Hopefully no hurt feelings. I have none towards you. I hope you have none towards me. It's a big World out there and we're all entitled to our opinions and it's okay to have the hair on the back of our necks stand up from time to time. It's always innocent. Right?

Hi Steve, Just got your VM. Yes I noticed the HTML link was not showing up on there. I guess the 'add-link' tab is not working properly. I've added the link since then on the original message. Thanks for noticing.
