Your employees love you. Except when they don’t.
Like when you're trolling through a Monster or CareerBuilder resume database and there they freaking
are. They've posted their resume!! The gall! The nerve!
What's up with that? What should you do? Confront now? Take two weeks off and quit?
A younger me would have said confront them all. Man, would I have been wrong. Good things weren't nearly as digital when I was coming up and trying to be the Clint Eastwood of HR.
The old me broke this one down at Workforce in a recent column. Is the resume poster a Free Agent, Reactionary, Disgrunted or Forgetful Analog? The profile drives whether you confront, poke around quietly or do nothing. Check out the article to get a vibe for the profiles and which once I would confront.
PS - Hey Monster, if you want to carve a little revenue out of the candidate side, offer up a $5 per month service to keep the resume of the employee masked to their current employer. If you pitch it right, that ought to let you squeeze another 100K a month out of the Matrix easy....
