I received an email from a Human Resources Consultant and friend of mine who got an email alert about a Human Resources opportunity. It came from a group called Retired Brains. She sent the note to me and said:
Hello, Matt:
I hope that you have had a wonderful 2009 so far. This year promises to be another challenging year for HR professionals. I'm forwarding this email to point out the oxymoronic nature of the recruitment process. I received the following job alert from Retired Brains. I clicked on the HR Mgr, Chicago role only to find that it was a Ladders listing and it was imprinted broadly w/ "Must be currently employed to apply".
The Ladders listing requires you to be a paid subscriber.. What else to do? Here is a trick you can do with a job description that sometimes works when it has "unique language" in it.
The first bullet of this job posting is:
- Partner with Corporate Executives in leading enterprise-wide functional groups to develop and implement talent development programs. Provide leadership and direction to the JM people planning process.
The unique language here is "to the JM people planning process". You just don't seee too many position descriptions that contain that exact phrase.
Copy and paste "to the JM people planning process" into a good vertical search engine like Indeed or Simply Hired and see what happens. I did it in Indeed and I found that there was an additional posting. The job was listed under a free site called http://www.diversity-jobs.com/
