Don’t anger your staffing company, redux
Some of you may remember the talent from a few weeks ago who was offered a job at an insultingly low salary by a company who dodged my calls, circumvented me, and told the talent that they were having trouble making payroll. I did eventually find him another assignment, but yesterday…
I got a call from the other office which works with that client to inform me that the person who had been responsible for most of my difficulty with that company was no longer there, and his replacement was willing to meet my talent’s salary expectations.
Long story short, the whole endeavor came to an abrupt halt when I reminded the new person that the talent was going to want to know if they were reliably making payroll before considering accepting a job with them.
Watch me shed tears over the loss of a client who doesn’t pay their bills and can barely manage to pay their own people.
