Never Work for Free

jimstroud@jimstroud.com (Jim Stroud) — Wed, 06 May 2009 19:12:14 +0000

In episode #125, Jim Stroud and Karen Mattonen debate the shady (?) practice of companies who solicit free consultation from jobseekers too eager to please. How far should a jobseeker go to please a potential employer before saying "enough is enough?" How much longer will companies ask interviewees for solutions to present-day issues, not hire that applicant, but still use their intellectual property to their benefit? (If you think it only happens during a recession, think again.) ||| Follow Jim Stroud on Twitter (www.twitter.com/jimstroud) and Karen Mattonen on Twitter (www.twitter.com/hirecentrix) ||

HireVue.com presents The Recruiters Lounge: In this episode, Jim and Karen interview Carol Miaskoff, Assistant Legal Counsel for Coordination at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This one is a doozy!!! These are some of the questions asked during the podcast: What is a Recruiters responsibility when it comes to the EEOC? (And should they care?) As a client company, should I be concerned about the activity and behaviors of my external third party recruiters? Can I as company hide behind my recruiters and have them discriminate on my behalf? What does co-employment mean? Karen heard that using the internet ONLY for recruiting can create a possible "disparate impact." Is that true? (Jim asks,"What does that even mean?") What is the E-Race initiative? How hard is it to prove hiring discrimination? * Does the EEOC (really) have time to investigate claims brought to them?

Jim is sleepy, but Karen is hyper as she rants about Government Fibs on the Labor Market. Guess where all the Recruiter jobs are? (At least those that are not in the USA) As much as you possibly can, spread the love to China (via the Red Cross).
