Recruiting Scientific Employees
A member writes: "Does anyone have
fresh ideas about recruiting scientific
employees—not people just out of
college, but with at least five
years of experience? Specifically,
I need geologists and environmental
engineers. We've tried niche Web
sites and have had a limited response:
mostly very underqualified people
fresh out of school applying for
project manager positions. Not quite
what we need!"
