UNBELIEVABLE

Yes it has finally happened, although I thought it would be a while yet before these ‘dramatic’ measures started! In conversation with a company this morning, he made me aware that several household name high street retailers have been recently approached by multiple professional level job seekers offering their services for free. They offer to work for a month for free, to try and prove their worth to the organisation and therefore generate a job out of it. The difference is that these job seekers are professional Corporate Recruitment Managers!! 

Has the corporate recruitment sector sectors really got it that bad from an employment perspective, that they need to resort to this? Should we applaud the ‘bravery’ and boldness of these individuals, obviously desperate for a new job? For me it is certainly a creative idea, but not one that I would condone for a job seeker, as it gives off desperation signals, and can put the individuals on a negative footing from the start.
