My Fab15 for the week

1. Come here you! (Pucker up) Mmmmwaah… 2. I don’t care if you’re qualified. I’m hiring you because I like you that much. 3. A manager who fuses professionalism with humanism in much the same way as Winston Churchill did, when he fused professionalism and humanism in defeating the Nazis. 4. First there is fascination, followed by hostility, followed by superiority and finally acceptance. What stage are you in? 5. “How impotant re typos in yor resum?” 6. Nobody likes the way you interview, follow-up or hire in general. 7. We’re getting beat-up by the Swiss? 8. On average, Sourcers make 12% more money than Recruiters. 9. Letting me know how much money you make is what’s best for the company.

10. India recruits Australia. 11. When replying to email, sometimes its best not to hit “reply-all.” 12. Hmmm… I like how this guy is thinking. (Although I disagree with his 4 guesses.) 13. Do you have trouble concentrating? I do, its because… um…. what was I saying? 14. We are not arrogant, simply correct. 15. A recruiting blogger blogs. Same recruiting blogger blogs officially for company. Company fires recruiting blogger. Company (now) upset that the recruiter blogs about it. Go figure…
