it's in the headline: "staffer"
- wizee 4y agoStaffer means member of staff. For example, engineers are staffers.
- komadori 4y agoThat just means a member of staff.
- Matthias247 4y agoOk sorry. Then it was a misunderstanding of my side as non native speaker. I always assumed it means recruiter since I’ve so far never seen the word used in another context
- komadori 4y agoNo worries :-). To be fair, it does sound, "staff-er", like someone who produces "staff". I've never it used as a reference to recruitment, but perhaps in some contexts it is used that way.
- waych 4y agoThis may also mean "someone who finds staff" aka a sourcer. The person in the article seems to be talking about the placement of others that were sourced through the program they were in.
- jimnotgym 4y agoDoesn't that just mean she was on the staff? I wouldn't understand staffer to mean recruiter. Is it different in the US?
