The recruiting and human resources services that are being provided to American Corporations, large and small, and the American people are in disatrous shape. This is due to no oversight by Corporate America and the Bush administration not being a role model for following rules and regulations.

The recruiters who are assisting in the recruiting process, whether in an agency or in a corporate settting, are not educated, not experienced in the HR field, are HIGHLY THREATENED by other HR people who are at the Masters level (one candidate told me that she was told "The people with Masters Degrees need a secretary". When I heard this, I almost fell out of my chair.) Not hiring people who are really well educated is a HUGE problem. They have been squeezed out of Corporate America. The recruiters and companies are threatened by the very well educated. It's part of "The Race to the bottom"), are UNBELIEVABLY ARROGANT to the candidates and don't know how to look at the large picture long term, meaning..."How are my actions and words going to affect the company in the long run???" Alot of this behavior is encouraged and festers due to no oversight, arrogance and corruption from the level above them. In addition, the mere fact that this profession is involved with moving people in, around and out of employment, (which is really quite powerful in a person's life) adds to their feeling of "being in power".

The arrogance towards the candidates in terms of the tone that is used, the words and body language leaves an impression with the candidate who then goes out into the community and talks about the recruiter and/or the company that they interviewed with. This is where all recruiters forget that their behavior and actions have an impact on their own career, the image of the company AND IT IMPACTS YOUR SALES AND BOTTOM LINE. In the Moral, Christian Family Values language: You reap what you sow. To bad the Bush administration HAS NOT learned this and THEY NEVER WILL!!!!!

1. There are 3 types of "Hires."

"Must Hires"
The Jim Guckerts/Jeff Gannons
(Someone makes a call and says, "You must hire the guy I'm sending over."

"Should Hires"
The experienced and educated.

"Luxury Hires"
Those candidates who may or may not be qualified, but damn! Ain't s/he cute?

Sounds like BushCo ignores the "Should Hires."
