Looks like the SHRMers are getting to witness the crappiest weather DC has had in a while- 5 inches of rain since Friday!

Much like mail carriers, third-party recruiters don’t get much of a break when the weather is crappy and has screwed up transportation around town. We’re expected to report as normal. After all, someone has to be at the office to make phone calls like these:

“Hi, this is Tiffany from [MISF]. We’ve got a talent scheduled to be out there with you today in your creative department… Yeah, Joe will be a little late this morning. He lives in a basement apartment… yep, it flooded last night. So as soon as he’s done moving all his stuff up off the floor, he’ll be in. Thanks!”

Be sure to take an umbrella to the conference today. Oh, and I’ll buy the first round for anyone who manages to score me a Yahoo! Hotjobs Captain Candidate. My boss has a Super Recruiter and I must continue the collection, but our Hotjobs account is national, so our action figure will be at HQ somewhere… (Why yes, I did somehow get on Yahoo! Hotjobs’ PR list, why do you ask?)
