The Sound of Death
I recently was asked to help people recruit some developers. I said sure but i’d like to get paid like any recruiter would. I’m not a recruiter nor do i offer the service but the once in a while where i’ll do it, i expect to get paid. Mind you this executive said “money is no object” and that they were intrapreneurial in a big company and that they can’t find any good developers themselves. Meanwhile they have an internal HR department and when it came to signing the paperwork, they said their internal recruiters were happy with their existing external recruiters and don’t need any help. Meanwhile their recruiters can’t find anyone! This is a sign of death. If you’re peoples’ heads are bureaucratic and up their own asses, how do you expect a startup to have a shot? They can’t find anyone but can’t admit they don’t know what they are doing. Yay!
