Domo Recruiting Billboard: Offensive? or Just (Really) Bad Taste?

Robert Merrill — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:54:10 +0000

A recruiting billboard from Domo along I-15 in Utah County is either offensive or just really (really) bad taste.

North-bound travelers on I-15 through Lindon, Utah will find a recruiting billboard from local tech startup Domo that many will find either shocking, offensive, oddly funny or just downright lame.

Odd billboards from Domo’s chief, Josh James aren’t a new thing. It’s kindof his schtick, hailing from days back at Omniture (now Adobe) and even using secretive billboards to attract people to his newest, then-stealthy gig, which turned out to be Domo.*

Designed to read like a classified ad (in the personals section), the ad reads:

Sexy young startup seeks hot engineers
4 a good time, go 2 www.domo.com/jobs

Initially, this ad is clearly trying to play a joke on the idea that Domo is putting out ad after ad to hire engineers, something akin to putting a personal ad out or joining an online dating site (insert golf clap here). This is something that’s not lost on me or the recruiting industry in-general, but I have always felt this conversation that “recruiting is like dating” just lends itself to the wrong kinds of allusions. The last thing we need in the world today are more hiring managers going about hiring staff like they would try to find a date for Friday night.

However, thinking just barely beyond the initial impression, it becomes clear that this billboard is, at a minimum fairly tasteless, but in the extreme, highly offensive to both women as well as any self-respecting professional looking for work.

Are Domo engineers hotter than other engineers? I mean, if this is what’s being recruited for, they should have an unusually attractive workforce…
Are candidates measured by hotness? Is there a technical term for that? What programming language(s) do hot people write in?
If your hotness quotient should diminish over time, are you passed up for promotions or does your percentage in the bonus pool shrink? As an analytics/dashboard company, are these rankings published (with photos, of course) on the internal intranet?
I’m not sure – Is this an ad for a long-term relationship or more of a one-night-stand type thing? Would you want to work for a company that just wants to NCMO?
How would you feel after being hired to find out that the next engineer hired is actually getting all the attention? Would you be jealous? Is this a precursor to an episode of Sister Wives?

All jokes aside, while the billboard isn’t technically sexist (It doesn’t specify that the sexy startup is masculine or feminine or that said sexy startup is seeking a preference of males or females), it does lend itself to a pretty cheap kind of relationship between the employer and the employee. If being hired is like being selected for a date, what kind of experience should a candidate–or employee–expect to have in that environment? I’m not going to lie, I am pretty shocked that Human Resources didn’t step in and squash this billboard pretty fast.

Look, if an employee in a company I worked with put up a sign outside their office saying exactly this when they began hiring for a specific job to fill, it would be taken down pretty fast by either request or by force. Even if there’s, perhaps, nothing immediately harassing about what this sign says, it sure smacks of it and that’s pretty plain to see. I wouldn’t recruit on a job being advertised this way. If the company is just looking “4 a good time”, then what does that make the recruiter??

* Disclosure: I used to work for JJ at OMTR. Have no idea if this matters, but since there’s a connection here that might not be readily apparent, I figured I should say something.

What resources do you use?

Robert Merrill — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 00:12:39 +0000

As we enter 2013, I’m thinking of additional ways to improve the Utah Tech Jobs website. I’m thinking it would be great to add list of resources that would be valuable for people who are seeking new or different employment.

So, what job resources do you know about? I’m interested in profiling companies, job clubs, Networking and user groups, and other tools that may not be readily apparent to the casual job seeker.

More Flexibility in the Workforce: A Catalyst for Growth?

Robert Merrill — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:18:28 +0000

Sallie Krawcheck poses an interesting question on workplace flexibility in LinkedIn’s 50 Big Ideas for 2013:

The US economic recovery is tepid at best, with growth in short supply. At the same time, progress on gender diversity has stalled, with the number of women in senior roles plateauing.

Solving the second challenge can help the first. Fully engaging women in the economy can increase GDP by as much as 9% … but it will take some very different thinking.

Company Introduction
Fusion-io is the pioneer of a new storage memory platform that significantly improves the processing capabilities within a data center by moving process-critical, or active data closer to the CPU where it is processed. Called shared data decentralization, this significantly reduces latency while increasing data center efficiency. Fusion’s integrated hardware and software solutions leverage non-volatile memory for enterprise-grade performance, reliability, availability and manageability.

Founded in 2006 by a management team with experience in transaction processing, high-performance networking, storage, superclusters, and computing and image processing, Fusion-io recognized that mechanical storage architectures do not keep pace with advances in digital processing power. This meant that despite major advances in technology, data processing was limited to the speed of legacy storage infrastructures. Without a solution designed to maximize their capabilities, modern CPUs sit idle while they wait for data to process.

Fusion-io solves the data supply problem with a new purpose-built solution. By combining hardware and software to develop a reliable storage memory platform, Fusion-io gives servers native access to data to accelerate enterprise databases and applications. This allows enterprises to significantly reduce complex and expensive high performance storage, high performance networking, and memory-rich servers. In addition to accelerating performance, Fusion’s storage memory platform also reduces energy consumption and total cost of ownership.

The Bad ‘Employment Brand’ Video from Vimeo (That Actually Tells the Truth)

Robert Merrill — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:48:35 +0000

Vimeo, the video sharing company, posted (like lots of companies) a video promoting what it’s like to work there.

But, unlike most company “work here” videos, this one is full of odd, awkward moments and is likely pretty realistic.

It’s somewhat like watching The Office, when that awkward moment happens and normal tv shows would stop filming, but they just keep rolling.

But, the big win? This video is actually likely telling the truth of what it’s truthfully like to work there.

Good work.
P.S. I found this researching the new path.to service. Cool.

New Feature: Apply For Jobs with Your LinkedIn Profile

Robert Merrill — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 20:01:20 +0000

Some time ago, LinkedIn created a tool to let job applicants apply with their LinkedIn Profile. I am pleased to make this available as an option to companies looking to post jobs with Utah Tech Jobs. This expands my simple goal to connect great talent with great companies and to reduce the “friction” in job application processes (See a recruiter’s tip: “Stop Working So Hard!“).

Why post technical jobs with UtahTechJobs.com?

A diverse, trusted community — I have been building this site’s reputation since 2005. As a former geek myself, I realized early in my recruiting career that Utah’s technical talent are discerning and suspicious of frivolous job-postings. In other words, Geeks hate recruiters. I allow geeks to note the savvy, in-the-know companies immediately by browsing for jobs in one place — utahtechjobs.com
Free postings for real companies — Look, finding great people are what this is about, not the job-posting. Job boards that charge money limit the companies that can post to just the ones that have the cash to fork out for it… which isn’t my personal favorite way to spend recruiting budget. I post jobs from companies I trust. No spam. No work-from-home scams. Just legit tech jobs from legit companies*.
Easy Sharing (for you and others) — Posters can easily share their jobs on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and other places right from this site. Want to post to Craigslist? That’s easy too.
Easy Applications — Drop in your ATS application URL? Apps will go there. You can also use email and LinkedIn to get applicants quick and fast, securely, and right to your email box.

Domo Recruiting Billboard: Offensive? or Just (Really) Bad Taste?

A recruiting billboard from Domo along I-15 in Utah County is either offensive or just really (really) bad taste.

So, what job resources do you know about? I’m interested in profiling companies, job clubs, Networking and user groups, and other tools that may not be readily apparent to the casual job seeker.
