[Histonet] RE: Offended

[Victoria Baker]

Hi

Between symposiums, memberships or subscriptions it is possible for
vendors and recruiters to get your home address.

Sometimes you will be asked if you can refer someone to them as well
if you are not interested.  My dealings with
recruiters/headhunters/vendors has always been pretty good and if or
when I'm asked if I can refer someone - I always check with that
person first as they may not want to be contacted.  Everything in
today's work or even private environment is not always so kept
confidential or given the right to privacy that many of us are
accustomed to and at times can be both intrusive as well as personally
damaging.

In business or work environments getting contacts is currently the
catch-phrase 'networking' and do they ever work the 'net!

>> I Wanted to obtained opinions of Managers/Supervisors in the histo world and how you handle situations regarding recruiters calling directly into Pathology Labs to specific tech's and stating they are seeking referrals for job placements. I recently had an AP staffing solution company call one of my labs to talk to any "histologist"  I felt was to recruit staff.  I feel this is an unprofessional practice to call directly into the laboratory and to hide behind the wording "referrals" when actually it appears they are trying to get information from the tech on the phone seeing if they are looking for a "new job".  I feel that this is an intrusion as well as inappropriate in our line of business and we are not in the business to give referrals to companies in the staffing solution arena for their monetary gain as well as trying to entice  our staff. What the staff does with these types of companies on personal time is their business, however, I think it is offending for companies to demonstrate this behavior.  If anyone would like to know which company and person called into my lab I will personally inform you on private email!
