Yesterday, a consulting firm posted a job listing on the mailing list after requesting an account on the list.
In the past, all job listings have come from people who contacted someone on the list and asked if the person would post for them. This allowed at least one level of filter to stop the "You can make money at home" type postings. I think we have always forwarded job listings that we received, since none were out of line. I have also followed the policy of always approving anyone who requests to join the list. Although this posting was probably reasonable for the list, it does point out the fact that we have been very trusting. Do you (the members) have any problems with postings of this kind? If anyone feels this is a problem, we can try to take measures. If you feel that it is a useful service, I can encourage other recruiters or consulting firms when they contact me off-list. Any thoughts? G.
