Staffing Savior Prints

Captain Pointy No.44 - Thank heavens for Temps

"Boy, am I glad they finally hired more staff!"

"Three weeks until the pitch, LOADS of time!"

Recruiting litigation lawyers is ALWAYS tricky..my last one took me to court for the emotional and professional damage I caused him by NOT considering him for a position I wasn't asked to fill.

'Let's keep in mind that although quitters never win, they often manage to avoid litigation.'

'He's been brought in to save the company.'

"Well, sure. We could hire some Temps, but they only live about ten days."

'Yes I'm sure we can find an opening for you, Mr Smith!'

'Miss Finch, find out what she does over there and offer her twice as much to do it over here.'

If you really need permanent staff for IMMEDIATE cover then we could pull out all the stops and get someone by next October.

Getting through the week.

Ace headhunters.

Experience is important, so I'm inclined to leave questions of ethics to those who have them.

I'm going through your application as we speak.

'Henry has found his niche with us.'

"HR think we need to look again at your recruitment strategy."

'We're an equal opportunity employer and we do not discriminate against sex, race, religion, age, or astrological sign.'

'Are these billable hours?'

I think you should go after my job!

I'm willing to start at the bottom and work my way up to your job..

'Maybe we should have been a bit more specific in the ad...'

'Of course you're overworked and underpaid! Didn't you read the fine print in your employee's contract?'

"It got so bad that had to bring Jones in to turn things around."

'It's true that money can't buy everything, Caldwell, but it's not healthy to dwell on it.'

With the company's CEO headed his way, Don frantically tries to remove any bits of food from his teeth.

"We'd like you to join our valued team of department heads."

System failure - calling for sysadmin...

"Why have you called the new post 'assistant deputy administrative project support?" "Because it sounded better than 'skivvy'."

'I need to hire more people. I can't keep making all of these mistakes.'

'We need someone who can turn this company around in a hurry.'

"He's our newest partner, we can't afford to be as selective as we used to be."

'It's a terrific family business: We have about 53 staff-members...'

Minion of the month

'Of course it's not your fault, Smedley, but someone has to accept the responsibility.'

'So one of your hobbies is lying, how do I know you're not telling the truth?'
