Ad mixed in with resumes on Employment site

[John Gough]

I agree.  As a separate test, Andy Rogers could weigh in.  He typically 
operates as an individual but (I believe) subs out on occasion.  He used to 
have a listing on the Agencies page, though I don't see one now.

All listings on the resumes page should be resumes.  What that means is 
that the person whose name is on the resume is offering his or her 
individual services for hire...to Cheri's point, hiring managers make 
decisions on whether to engage individuals or agencies.  It is important 
that we support that decision by keeping those listings separate.

I would not have a problem with each of the two-person shop's principals 
having a resume on the resume page *and* a listing under their company name 
on the Agencies page.  They would need to understand that by listing on the 
Resumes page they are offering their individual services and that they 
would not be free to sub out or switch if they listed this way.

If I heard a complaint that the resume was being treated as bait and that 
subcontractors were hired to do work, I would de-list the resume on the 
grounds that it did not meet the intent of the Resumes page.

Hope that helps.
John
