Recruiters (sometimes) do stupid things
RateMyRecruiter.net lets job seekers narc on the incompetence of certain recruiters. They name names and list phone numbers; so, should you be concerned? Recruiting is not separate from HR, its all intermingled and we can prove it in 30 seconds or less. Plus, sometimes people say things in online forums that can land them in legal hot water. Karen calls them stupid people, but Jim is a bit more kind.

Workplace Violence and Misclassification
Jim starts off with shocking news about workplace violence, but is more shocked that its not uncommon. Karen rants about how easy it is to get a gun and bring it to the workplace. Did you know that sooo many companies misclassify Recruiters? And if you signed a contract that said you could not work in your field for a period of time, would that be a legally binding document? Umm... not so much.

Racial Politics In The Workplace
Why am I called African-American when I ve never been to Africa in my life? Karen and Jim both want to know. Should companies be compelled to create prayer rooms for their employees? (Its almost happening in the UK.) And if I am checking my blackberry in the check out line, I should get paid for it. Right? If you use a company phone to send text messages, does the employer have the right to read them? (The answer may surprise you.) All this, plus, a few shameless plugs for new websites!

Lies, Discouraged Workers and H1-B Only Jobs
Karen is ecstatic when she is right and Jim can only grin and bear it. Did you know that there was a minimum wage for IT Workers? (Jim didn't know either.) Want a government spanking? Advertise a job for H1-B candidates only. (Duh! What were they thinking?) Fussing, fighting and general bickering occurs between Karen and Jim, but how is that different from all of our other shows? Plus, belated birthday wishes for Jim.

Hey You! Your training sucks...
The topic of this podcast is Training, Recruiter Training to be exact. Some of the Recruiter Training out there is good, but a lot of it us sub par. So why does the bad training persist? Jim suggests good marketing is the reason, Karen thinks its all about the emperor's new clothes; but leave it to a special guest to set the record straight. (I wonder how certain people would react if Karen started naming names? Only the guilty and the vain need be concerned.)

Government Fibs, No Need For H-1Bs and Recession Proof Jobs
Jim is sleepy, but Karen is hyper as she rants about Government Fibs on the Labor Market. Guess where all the Recruiter jobs are? (At least those that are not in the USA) As much as you possibly can, spread the love to China (via the Red Cross). Why is Microsoft (and other big name brands) lobbying for more H-1Bs when there are so many Americans out of work? (What a debate that is.) And last (but certainly not least), 25 recession proof jobs. Tune in for all of the above and more in the latest edition of The Recruiters Lounge Podcast. Oh! Did I mention that Jim and Karen bicker like little children throughout this podcast, but make up in the end? **This episode of The Recruiters Lounge is sponsored by: SGA Executive Tracker Pro (www.sgaexecutivetracker.com)** Connect to Jim Stroud on Twitter!

Strippers, Ministers, Hell's Angels and Guns
A Minister introduces a bill and gets some heat in Canada, which makes it hard for hardworking strippers and club owners who have to umm... import foreign talent. Good thing they have Hell's Angels to "lobby" for them, or at least they did, back in the day. Want to talk Guns in the workplace? It could (legally) happen. Plus, the story of "Oh." Its quite interesting. (Plus Karen has a potty mouth.)

Recruiting GI Joe
Jim Stroud chat's with Otis Collier, an Alternative Sourcing Manager for Wachovia. What does that mean? It means he dispenses HR justice for US veterans by creating programs that get veterans (and their spouses) hired by Wachovia. Yooo Joe! If you recruit for a company that does not have a plan in place for recruiting Veterans, bring this podcast to the attention of the powers that be.

LinkedIn loves you
