I was a planner for a long time (Toronto, Leagas in London, then NY) before becoming a planning/creative recruiter and I recall the hounding I got from recruiters back then. So when someone finally calls out all the lazy asses in my industry I just have to say thanks. It reminds those of us who take this job seriously to stay focused and think before we speak. Not a common practice for the mass email/Linked In type headhunters. Mike Maurer 760-598-5955 Seth,

This does some justice to all who've been found on linkedin and battled with recruiter sales calls, while at work (by the way). I've "learned more" about a fair share of amazing B and C-level opportunities in the past. I like the idea of a secret password system. Good read! Gaff comes back swingin!
