Guerilla Job Recruitment Techniques
November 28th, 2007 by The Money Moose

Recently I heard a story about a job recruiter from a friend, and I must say that the recruiter’s way of trying to get him a job was quite intriguing. I’ve compiled a step-by-step guide so that you too can be as ingenious as him.
- Either hire someone with a thick Indian accent or learn to speak with one. By thick I mean impossible to hear. You’d have to already have an Indian accent and then perhaps burn your tongue to get the level of thickness required.
- Get a bad phone with a shaky connection
- Find someone who wants to get a job through whatever shady methods you choose (Monster.com, perhaps? Something like that)
- Call a potential worker (from now on referred to as PW)
The conversation will go something like this:
Recruiter: HelloIamhearingthatyouarelookingforajob [job details here]
PW: What?
Recruiter: Howwouldyouliketoworkfor excellent job 24dollarsanhour*
PW: I’m sorry, how much?
Recruiter: 24dollarshour
PW: What?
*words in italics are to be extra-extra-slurred
Now take a note here that the recruitee was used to jobs that paid quite a bit higher. By masking the actual income and making everything else sound nice, you could lure someone to an interview and then beat them on the head with a sack of nickels and get free labor. Be wary of this - the PW didn’t fall into the trap but you might.
By the way: this post brought to you by the MoneyMoose, but also sort of kind of this guy: a boy from India. Actually, not really. Not at all.

Anti Barbie is right. Craigslist is where it’s “at.”

This is hilarious-!! I know to be honest I used to close the phone once I hear an accent like that and say ” Thank you I am NOT interested-!!” and click..

You could try responding in a similar accent and add some of your own more favorable terms into it.
