What's that?

"Oh, sorry... I mean I'm a recruiter!"

Name someone you most admire

George Carlin, Bill Hicks, John Lennon, Ghandi - in no particular order

Which blogs would you recommend people read?

Do you have time to follow blogs? I don't... although I wish I did - I just don't have the luxury of a big bank account, giving me the ability to sit on my ass all day and follow lots of people gossiping about this or that.

What recruiting tools can you not live without?

My ears - Remember to always listen to what your clients and candidates have to say - that's the most important thing!

My mouth - I have to communicate don't I, and try to sound like I know what I'm talking about at the same time. Although I'm currently trying to train myself to become telepathic - We're all getting lazy aren't we - and soon we all won't have the energy to make the sounds that form the words in our mouths!

My legs - Got to walk in order to go out and meet my candidates and clients. Ok - sometimes I drive or get the train - but I still need my legs to do that. Soon we'll all lose the use of our legs anyway, as we'll be stuck at home on our computers all day long, still praising the advent of social media and technology!

Anything else? My brain I guess... but then again - people are finding ways to make technology an answer for everything... what do you need us for? I say leave the computers to employ other computers, and they can all run the world for us. We can instead just go out and play all day long - as long as the computers don't get too clever and try to destroy us just like in the Terminator. Either way, our country leaders are doing a pretty good job of destroying us all right now - I don't think the computers need to worry about us getting in the way!
