A day in the life....

Never EVER let anyone tell you recruiting is dull... :-)

I have 4 current open positions (see: www.wsybd.com and click on open jobs) that are brand new. I received another position on Friday, but now the client is not sure they want to pay a fee for a candidate. Not paying a fee..... seems to be a trend, but we all know what we want to pay for and the things that we think we can "do it myself". In most industries and professions, if our ego would just let the experts in their field do their job, and let us do our job, EVERYONE would be more productive, we just all have a price. However, most of us, try it ourselves (ever tried to fix a toilet?), then make a bigger mess and have to call in a professional to fix it, thus costing us twice the time and money. In reality, if we called a "professional or expert" in a field when we needed something, that project could be completed and we could spend more time being productive in our own field of expertise = more money to spend or more free time.
