JmartinCNE, be assured that this actually did happen, on the day that I posted it here, exactly as I posted. And this is just one of the hundreds of headhunter horror stories I've personally experienced over the 20 years I've been in HR.

I agree there are good, honest and qualified recruiters out there, however, based on my personal experience alone, they are most definietly in the minority.

Hey, I'm not only overweight, gray on top and missing a front tooth (cosmetically concealed), but also WELL PAST 55. However, I am also an extremely valuable -- and valued -- employee. You guys need to knock it off!

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
