Advertising¹ Jobs on the Internet

Wendy: I just heard that you’re not going to use a recruitment agency to fill the new position. 

Pedro: No, I’m not. There are so many Internet job boards out there that I think we can find good candidates without using headhunters. 

Wendy: But headhunters do a good job of weeding out people who don’t have the right experience or qualifications. 

Pedro: Yes, but they also charge a large commission. I’m going to post an ad on a few major job boards to see what happens. Most of them don’t charge a listing fee so there’s no harm in trying. 

Wendy: I predict you’re going to be flooded with applications, and it’s going to take a lot of time to separate the good from the bad. 

Pedro: That’s where you come in. 

Wendy: What do you mean? 

Pedro: You are my assistant, aren’t you? 

Wendy: Yes. 

Pedro: And your job is to assist me, right? 

Wendy: Yes. 

Pedro: Good. Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a busy week!
