Recruiting For The Christmas Purple Squirrel Candidate ‘Twas two days before Christmas, when all through the recruiting arena, The recruiters had bolted left the office faster than cheetahs; The placement and invoices had all been submitted, On the searches that had been completed; All the candidate start dates had been established and confirmed, The staff’s thoughts of starting a new search unconcerned; So I sat at my desk to read the a recruiter training session, I was looking forward to honing my profession; I got jolted when the phone rang; My ringtone had startled me with a cling and a clang; I looked at the phone with some wonder, I saw the area code read North Pole not the land from down under; I answered the phone, the voice was curt and cold, It was HR from the North Pole, they said, Santa’s not performing his tasks, he may be too old; I said that statement may be discriminatory, The voice...
