I can't speak to this recent job posting but it does sound consistent with the job postings where links were posted earlier in this thread (post #70, for example) was found on maxhire.com which is a legitimate job search site. It has since been taken down, however a Google search of DL and FBATR finds several job agencies where the Google description has a snippet of job descriptions for this new rollout. Many of the specific job descriptions have been removed when you look further.

Except maxhire.com isn't actually a job search site...

Actually, they do host a job/career search engine (see: http://www.maxhire.net/cp/searchjobs...r_no_results=1) which is where the job posting listed in post #70 was originally located.

Actually, they contract their services and software to recruitment companies. Accordingly, the credibility of the posting is really dependent upon the company placing the ad, not the company producing the software or hosting the web service. Tell you what. Go to maxhire.com (or maxhire.net) and point me to where I search for jobs.

In the case of the ad in question, the issue is how credible JDC Group is, not the company providing the software.

Out of curiosity, do you habitually try to pass off readily verifiable statements as fact without checking, or do you restrict that to discussions of "legitimate job search sites"? A little tip... it doesn't help your credibility.

You are correct that maxhire.net or maxhire.com provides recruitment software. They also search engine host, which is why the link I posted is attached to their domain name. But in fact, I didn't post that link at all, I copied it from post #70. As far as "legitimate job search sites." Maxhire.com shows up on a list of 1,171 employment search engines that we as a firm provide to clients every day which is why I called it a legitimate resource. I even have the directions for how employers enable their software and post jobs to their search engine housed on their domain if the site alone is not quite legitimate enough for you. When it comes to job recruitment, that's something my firm does every day, so yes, I think I know what I'm talking about have some expertise here, as I've been doing it for about 25 years! So calling someone out on what they do every day, is not good for your credibility!

You are also correct that for any job listing website, the listing is only as good as the company posting it. I don't see any other DL listings on that website which is why I suggested you do a Google search of Delta and FBATR where you will find several other job sites with, at least a history and description that Google has snipped, that refers to the job descriptions this thread has referred to or variations on that theme. Maybe those sites will be a bit more legitimate for you.

1,171 websites? It is hard to imagine what kind of screening you are doing if that is the kind of whittling you do for your "clients". Might as well tell them to use google. But again, since it is such a great "employment search engine", where does one go to search the site?

And FWIW, I know I am correct. And, to be clear, I'm not claiming that you intentionally misrepresented anything, but rather that you misunderstood the nature of maxhire.com and erroneously ascribed credibility to the posting based upon that misunderstanding. Look, I'm sure you were just planning on slipping something in there without actually checking - hoping nobody would call you on it - but somebody did. Sorry.

Quit digging the hole. You may have 25 years experience, but that doesn't mean you aren't wrong.

I did a search. Pretty much all hits are on random, no-name job boards that picked up the same posting. Again, the credibility lies with JDC Group. Now, I don't think they fabricated anything, but they do seem like a pretty amateurish outfit, so who knows what was lost in translation.

You don't usually set up focus groups to be representative of an entire population but rather some subset with one or more common traits. When you drill down far enough, one or more groups of 15 could be reasonably representative of people with those traits.

Do comic books still only come out once a month?

Now that is the funniest thing I've read here in a long time

+2. I'm surprised this hasn't been locked up yet. Put it out to pasture.

mother-

This reminds me of disturbing TV ads for a local car Dealer (Bob's of Milford)- the catch phrase of which are people repeatedly explaining that

"He just wants to get you a loan"

or is that

"He just wants to get you alone"

Were some posts here deleted? At 15 posts per page, I am on page 138 and when I click to go to page 139, it bounces right back to page 139, despite the top and bottom of the the page saying that I am on "Page 138 of 139."
