WKMG ^ | 6/1/10

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Job hunters are facing a new trend: businesses asking recruitment companies to keep unemployed people out of their job pools.

Peter May, of Atlanta, said he was hoping Orlando-based recruiter "The People Place" would help him find a job with Sony Ericsson. The company is moving its headquarters to Buckhead, which is located outside Atlanta.

May said he was mortified when he read the message on the website. In all caps, and bold type, it said, "No unemployed candidates will be considered at all."

In this case it comes across as a knee-jerk “management is always right” missive rather than a thoughtful statement.

No, they're not always right. But they're always in charge, so it's pointless to whine about it.

If a company has a policy you don't like, don't work for them. ...or start your own business and run it the "Right Way".

These types of issues aren't so much about being right, but about having the right to control your company the way you choose.

Not a soul has said otherwise, but in their industry especially that is stupid.

I apparently have the right to marry and sodomize other men, but were I to do such a thing I would expect some major criticism around here.

When I was hiring, it was still hit or miss. Sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you don’t. (federal comms contracts)

Why would anybody employed jump into CE now? Big mistake

Well, they have 400,000 newly employed Census workers to choose from.

Certainly, it may be my right but it is distasteful to any right minded person.
