‘We source, Headhunt and assess top professionals through social media that are a match for the positon you are looking to fill - saving you time and effort in your search’

Translation:
We have a Linkedin Account!

LOL! Brilliant

Nice one, Peter.

And steady with those exclamation marks, eh?

Oooops, forgot about your campaign Mitch - it will never happen again.

Mitch,

In the interest of fairness I think you could easily apply this to every industry across the board. Let’s face it whether it’s advertising, branding, presentation material or terms and conditions the whole business world rely, actively encourage and in some cases seek to deceive by the use of uneccessary jargon, terminology and bullsh*t.

HOWEVER! I wholeheartedly agree that it may be totally uneccessary. I would actually welcome any critique on my own profile on linkedin in regards to this subject matter. I have always been an advocate of clearly defined language and demystifying the recruitment, executive search, talent acquisition service sector.

Hi Darren

I can only concern myself with an industry that I know.  I think it’s unreasonable for me to be expected to save the entire business world.

Mitch,

Now come on, don’t be so coy! I’ve met you and like me you are one of those recruitment professionals who knows intimately their client and related business sectors. That is the beauty of being a professional recruiter, I can hold a conversation on the market, the sector, the development and competition within it on just about any business I’ve recruited for. You want to hear me wax lyrical about retail analytics and the emerging market in Europe, or Gas Turbines and Power Generation / transmission and the challenges the National grid face…..

For Executive Search Consultant read ‘Know it all’

Thats it, Im never commenting on your posts again as much as I am drawn to them.

recruitment is not a bullshit.. and that too if it has been done by an outside recruitment agency. Mullins Cuddihy & associates have years of experience in providing <a > online recruiters</a>

Haha - like this Mitch. It could roll on… I saw one yesterday.

Agency recruiter:

“I’m looking for a recruitment partner to help us source amazing roles for our top notch clients”

Translation:

I can’t do my job very well, and will get fired on my next monthly review. Can you help me?

I’ve come across a few -
“high performance culture” = “hire and fire business”
“We are seeking an entrepreneur” = “we are seeking someone we can target and drive business our way, and will sack you if you don’t fall in line…”
“Developing business with new clients over the phone” = “Cold calling the data base in conjunction with KPIs”

“Maintaining working relationships with existing clients and spotting opportunities for further business” = “if you have time, because you will be busy doing new business…”

” Sourcing candidates to match your clients recruitment needs” = “Spam CVs”

“Advertising vacancies in a professional and attractive manner in order to attract the best candidates” = “Copy & Paste client job specs”
