alstin communications

As VP of Client Development for Alstin, I (happily) find myself on the road a lot, talking to clients, prospects, people in the media, etc.–and I attend numerous industry functions each month. On Alstin’s blog, I’ll let you know where I am and what I’m hearing in the wonderful world of recruiting.

Okay folks, our regular “Where’s Tony” segment is pulling off to the side of the road for an important rest stop.

Kanye West, Serena Williams, Joe Wilson, talk show hosts, and many, many others. Okay, so no one says we should take cues on civility and decorum from politicians and celebrities, but recent events do raise some interesting questions about how we conduct ourselves today. I for one am so grateful that I’m part of an organization where passion, creativity and an informal environment are valued, but we treat each other, our customers and our vendors with respect (at least I think so; I don’t remember anyone yelling out, “You lie!” at our last manager’s meeting).

I know people in recruitment are often not so lucky–and we want to hear about it!

Ever have a candidate send a text message during an interview? Been in a meeting where someone said something so inappropriate you still can’t believe it? If you’re reading this, chances are you’re in some way connected with human resources, so I know you have some real doozies when it comes to stories about lack of civility in the workplace.

Share some of your best stories on boorish or unprofessional behavior that may still make you cringe right here on the blog, or send an email to: blog@alstin.com. We’ll share the best of the bunch in a future post while keeping your identity 100% confidential. 

Until next time, see you on the road!
