I'm a secret agent

August 07 2006

I got a promotion at the recruiting office where I work.


I'm now a spy!


That's right. 


If we don't hear from a buisness that interviewed one of our candidates, we become suspicious that they hired them without telling us, thereby cheating us out of money.  My job is to innocently call these companies and ask for the candidate in question.  I have to hide the fact that I'm from a recruiting company; these corporations hate recruiters calling their employees.  If all is well, I will be told that I have a wrong number or that no one by the candidate's name works there.  That means the company was honest, and just didn't hire the candidate.  If, however, I get put through to the candidate, I still have to try to hide who I am (which is harder in this step, since candidates can be suspicious and even hostile), but I have to try to figure out how long they've been working there, and then I alert my boss, who contacts the company to tell them they're cheating us out of money.


It's pretty exciting.


But I still only make 6 dollars an hour.


Whatever.
