I got my first piece of apparently serious recruiting spam today, from a certain “Denise Moore” of “DHI Partners” or perhaps “DMSearch” (a Google search produces no results for such a person). The alleged client, “Irving Oil,” is seeking a Senior Manager of Marketing. I’m flattered, Ms. Moore, but I do not meet any of the qualifications listed, including interest.<\/p>\n
Hey Irving Oil, are times so hard that you’ve turned to spammers for your executive search? You’re better off selling shares in you Nigerian operations, don’t you think?<\/p>\n
Dear Gene,<\/p>\n
I am an executive recruiter with DHI Partners. We are currently retained to find a Senior Marketing Manager for the Residential and Commercial Energy Services business of Irving Oil. A position description follows for your review. Energy experience is not required; they would love someone with a consumer durables background. I am hoping that you might know of someone to refer, and any referrals are greatly appreciated! <\/p>\n
Sincerely,
\nDenise Moore\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I got my first piece of apparently serious recruiting spam today, from a certain “Denise Moore” of “DHI Partners” or perhaps “DMSearch” (a Google search produces no results for such a person).
