Sometimes in recruiting you can sit on the sidelines predict and watch a
train wreck happen.  Then follow the steam to its origin and ask the source,
“Why?”  Why there were over a dozen different firms chasing the same role
and no one able to fill it?  Why in the same forums on LinkedIn were these
same agencies stepping all over each other trying to beat each other to the
same pool of talent and still unable to fill the positions?  There must have
been dozens of capable candidates out there in this rush to turn every stone
that were left in the lurch.

Sanity?

In the past few months while this Three Stooges like rush to no good end,
was taking place some good candidates were disused.  The red flag has been
waved and still some of the madness continues.  I guess a few have not even
gotten the word that this search was called off for a bit.  While this
craziness was going on I followed the mayhem up stream and spoke with the
companies that sent the flotsam of requirements downstream to the waiting
hands of all the sub agencies, creating the turbulence.  I was asked to
throw in and at first I gave it some consideration but decided that throwing
in would only cast my team among the lot already thrashing about.  So I took
a seat once again on the sideline and answered calls for my help with a,
“Désolé No Habla Englez”.  

A smart move was made by Cisco to call off the hounds and start fresh.  Wow
that was a good call.

Green Flag

So here we are starting again.  I was asked to play a role now because my
team has earned some credibility by saying “het” when called on so many
times before to help the agencies spinning their wheels.  Now I can say, yes
these roles are for Cisco and yes if you were mishandled before my team will
help you get thru the dizziness you might have been treated to.  Provide a
professional dose of Dramamine to help you regain your composure and queue
back up for real this time.
