If Recruiters Were Los Angeles Gangsters

If I ran my own recruiting firm, all of my recruiters would be required to memorize the speech Marsellus Wallace gives to Butch (Bruce Willis) in Pulp Fiction.

The day of the offer, you might feel a slight sting. That's pride messing with you. To heck with pride! Pride only hurts ... it never helps. You fight through that stuff 'cause a year from now, when you kickin' it in the Caribbean, you gonna say to yourself, my recruiter was right."

I'm not saying it would be legal, or even advisable, but it sure would be a lot of fun to see the reaction you would get.

And if any of my candidates ever backed out of an offer, you know what speech they would get.

                        Ezekiel 25:17: The path of the righteous man is beset                         on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the                         tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of                         charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the                         Valley of Darkness; for he is truly his brother's keeper,                         and the finder of lost children. And, I will strike down                         upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those                         who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And, you                         will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance                         upon thee!
