This company must really suck. The Huffington Post has on their front page, a company who advertised a job which demands no one should apply if they actually need it! From Disturbing Job Ads:

In a current job posting on The People Place, a job recruiting website for the telecommunications, aerospace/defense and engineering industries, an anonymous electronics company in Angleton, Texas, advertises for a "Quality Engineer." Qualifications for the job are the usual: computer skills, oral and written communication skills, light to moderate lifting. But red print at the bottom of the ad says, "Client will not consider/review anyone NOT currently employed regardless of the reason."

In a nearly identical job posting for the same position on the Benchmark Electronics website, the red print is missing. But a human resources representative for the company confirmed to HuffPost that the The People Place ad accurately reflects the company's recruitment policies.

"It's our preference that they currently be employed," he said. "We typically go after people that are happy where they are and then tell them about the opportunities here. We do get a lot of applications blindly from people who are currently unemployed -- with the economy being what it is, we've had a lot of people contact us that don't have the skill sets we want, so we try to minimize the amount of time we spent on that and try to rifle-shoot the folks we're interested in.

The article has more examples. Someone needs to inform the Huffington Post that discriminatory job ads are not new. Let them know of the thousands which say no American need apply or H-1B Visa holders only, or my personal favorite, requiring 10 years of experience in a technology that has only been in existence 5 years.

Obviously this headhunter site is poorly named as well.
