well, here is the deal, yeah hire who want, but have an idea of the greater good, it is not just a scramble, you are trying to influence for the good by having a good company with integrity, every person you are in contact with is in contact with at least 6 others, if you hire just some operator who will stay with you for a year and then move on because he is a careerist ooh, so “cool” where does that get you, if you hire someone who is simply building their resume, or if you hire someone who will actually appreciate the job because they know how vicious things are. Also, ask if you pay extra would they be willing to buy their own health insurance because I have an idea that is why these older folks are getting passed on, but the older ones are the ones with experience, who actually know how things work, remember how to work and not just screw around on the computer to make it look like they are working. Just something to consider.
Passing over the best candidate for the job, to select the person longest out of work, does not show integrity for the job I was hired to complete.

Not relative to the point we were discussing.

Not legal.

That is why we pay more for experienced people in our business. But some people gain 20 years of knowledge, some other people gain the 1st year of knowledge 20 times over. The difficulty can be discerning the difference in an interview; that can make reference far more important. One comment I keep getting from my boss lately is I sure take a lot of time talking to the candidates. I think he means it as a request to hurry up; I take it as a complement and a goal to keep hearing that.
