Some recruiting firm is paying whoever Zachary Graham works for to write this story. Dead giveaway:
"...said Matt Derp of recruiting_company.com, which brings recruiters together to collaborate in finding jobs for candidates..."
- stephth 16y agoYou mean "Matt Deutsch of TopEchelon.com".
- lurker17 16y agoNo, parent poster did not mean to provide more free advertisting.
- stephth 16y agoWhy so cynical? I didn't mean that at all. I thought the parent poster was showing a typo and I figured it'd be relevant to show they had fixed it in the meantime. (It does help to use square brackets to indicate change from the original quote.)
- nhangen 16y agoYou're right, and that's what makes this incredibly disheartening.
- astrofinch 16y agoI'm confused. Is Matt's company going to benefit because unemployed people will want to use his site or because recruiters will want to use his site?
- mattdeboard 16y agoMatt's company is going to benefit because news.yahoo.com mentioned his company's name.
