Thanks for the balanced tone of this post. One point of clarification though. The pay-per-performance idea implemented in Houston was the collaborative effort of a number of individuals. In particular, it’s important that recognition for that event be laid at the feet of Joe Rinaldi, our Houston General Sales Manager and his team. They developed and executed a flawless plan that resulted in a tremendous event. Also I feel it’s important for your readership to understand that we are not abandoning our traditional job fair model. As an organization we are focusing on innovative ways to drive and deliver results for our customers. We look at this event and this model in those terms. The recruitment landscape and expectations of our customers are changing rapidly. I believe we’d be foolish not to recognize that and try new things.
