As Steve Gregory mentioned in his reply, this issue has been raised. And, as before, I agree that TechNet is the perfect place to post job openings. As president and owner of a PCB shop I would think you should consider whether the benefits of your engineering and technical staff having 'uncensored' access to TechNet outweigh the potential of them being 'lured' away by a job posting. Which I think does. To your last point... absolutely. You are at a competitive disadvantage otherwise. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Survey re Job Postings Author: [log in to unmask] at INTERNET Date: 08/05/95 2:14 PM I have been silently reading all of the postings now for just about two months and I think this forum offers tremendous advantages to its members and the companies that allow their employees to participate. As a short-cut to problem solving, it has no equal so I am considering granting access for my engineering and technical staff and encouraging active participation. Yet as the president and owner of my own pcb manufacturing company, I have mixed emotions about the recent increase in "jobs available" postings. These postings offer both positive and negative benefits: A) TechNet is the perfect place to advertise for experienced and technically-oriented individuals B) Clearly, I don't want my best engineers lured away by targeted mailings from my competitors C) If one of my employees is dissatisfied and looking for another job, then should I really be overly concerned if he finds a position on TechNet D) If my employees are being solicited, then I have a right to solicit. I can go on and on, but you see my quandary. Do I post my openings or not? If I don't post and my competitors do, then should I allow uncensored access to this forum by my technical staff? As members of this forum, I think we all have a voice. What is your vote.... Do we want companies to post their job openings to this forum?
