getting your act together
I don’t know what it is lately, but I’ve been getting a rash of calls for temporary help where the client only has the vaguest idea of what they need. The moment I start asking questions about the position, such as, “So what will this person be doing?” they start stammering and telling me they’ll have to firm up the requirements and get back to me next week.
I’ve got more clients than I can handle right now- don’t waste my time.
Further, what’s up with the client who pulled this same thing, put me off for two weeks, saying they were still working out ther requirements internally, and then posted the (temporary) job to an industry mailing list to which I subscribe? If you want to try to fill it without an agency first, just say so. You won’t hurt my feelings, and in fact I’ll be grateful that you chose not to waste my time in following up with you.
