“a new trend”
One example is not a trend.
It might make your story sound sexier, but it is a lie.
Their theory must be - they want good people, good people have jobs already?
Its only unusual because they are admitting it. Its always been harder to get a job if you aren’t working. Its especially true if you’ve been unemployed for a long time.
Are You Looking For A Job?

Say hello to your new foreign masters. Sony-Erickson is a bunch of foreigners. So is BP for that matter and they are sending our coasts and our people there into ruination.
When a country weakens itself the outsiders come in for the kill. I know I’m being dramatic but I speak the truth. Say someone is a veteran of our military, is unemployed, and applies to Sony-Erikson. Are you dumb enough to think they care?
why take somebody off teh street when you can take somebody from your competition, thereby weakening them, and giving you access to their way of doing business?
I am working now in my chosen field. But that has not always been the case. Previously, when I have been involuntarily out-of-work, I would spend a couple of days feeling sorry for myself and then I would take a job, any job, just to keep working.
No matter how bad the job market, there is always some kind of job available. It might be at a quarter of what you were making before, but it is a job. And if it is a job, it is a job you can do well.
And when you are sitting in that interview, for your next “real job”, and the guy-with-the-tie asks what you have been up to recently, you can say that you are doing a great job at a really lousy job, and you would really like to get back in the game. That will sound a heck of a lot better to the interviewer than telling him that you are sitting on your couch watching Oprah.
Interestingly enough, the old HQ for Sony is here in Research Triangle Park. I commute by there daily.
The Yankees who worked there are now manning cash registers in Trader Joe’s in Cary. Lots of New York’s and New Jersey’s finest...
...finest unemployed...
Sony wants new college grads to replace them. Most of those kids are still living with mommy, and will work cheap.
Should we make it the government's job to dictate to a business who they must hire?
Get over it. Private individuals and companies have the right to make decisions you don't like.
A couple of points. A recruiting company does not find people jobs. They find the most qualified candidate for their client company, for which the client company pays them a fee, usually between 25% to 35% of the starting annual salary.
Second, having just come from a conference on this, there are a lot of people looking for work, but not necessarily a lot of talent. Therefore employers are screening on any number of things, some of which may be unemployment, degree, what have you been doing since your last full-time gig, etc.
If somone applies to the company I work for, I don't mind that they may be unemployed, I do mind that they have sat on their ass for a year collecting unemployment and in that time did nothing to improve their skills. I'd rather take the unemployed person who went back to school to upgrade their skills.
The best people I ever hired my entire career were some ex-Apple guys who lost their company after the venture capitalist was scared off by a patent troll shakedown scam. They had been out of work for about six months when I hired them.
The company I retired from fired some of our industries top talent as private equity schemers ran the company into the ground at terminal velocity. In those days head hunters were paying kickbacks to find out who had been fired and was therefore on the market.
HOW'S THAT HOPE AND CHANGE WORKIN' OUT FOR YA?
