If Recruiters had to hire Celebrities!

I was thinking of something on the way home last night that made me laugh. Can you imagine if we hired celebrities? Someone does, and I feel bad for them. We have been very busy with many interviews and I was thinking of how time consuming it has been. I try to be optimistic and thought it could always be worse. It can be challenging to coordinate schedules, keep people on track, make sure the candidates have a good experience, etc., and still get all of your work done. What if those candidates were someone like JLo or Ariana Grande (just using them as I have heard they have quite a long list of requirements - sorry to pick on them!).

Anyhow, could you imagine you are scheduling a candidate to come in to interview and you get the following back from them....

Mr. Redshaw,

Thank you for helping with my upcoming meeting at Everbridge. Please note that I will require transportation from my home, although I live 8 miles from your office. I would like a black Range Rover to pick me up at 10:35am for our 11:00am start time. I would like the temperature of the vehicle to be at 72 degrees. I would like a bottle of water in the car for me as well. Upon arrival, please make sure I am in a room larger than 14'x14'. The color of the room needs to be a neutral color and I must face South while sitting at the table. I will require to be seated in an Aeron Chair by Herman Miller. In the room I expect 2 bottles of water, a selected assortment of juices, tea and coffee. Please supply pens and notepads. The temperature of the room will need to be no warmer than 70 degrees. I will expect to have two (2) fifteen minute breaks during our meeting. If it is going to last more than three (3) hours, please supply a garden salad with chicken on the side as well as Balsamic Dressing (and no onions), as well as an extra 20 minute break to eat. Upon completion of the meeting, I require the same Range Rover to bring me back to my residence.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you and the team.

Regards,

"someone I hope I never have to hire"

So that was my thought, which made me happy I didn't have to recruit celebrities!
