<p>I'm currently the "fashion plate in HR on the first floor who helps you fill jobs." Yes, that's how I've been described. LOL I'm a Recruiter. I hate that damn "Talent Acquisition Specialist." Who came up with that one????</p>

<h4 class="comment">(Latin: a suffix; result of, means of, act of; place of action)</h4>
<div class="description"><p>The suffix <i>-meant</i> is a final word element derived through Middle English and French from the Latin suffix <i>-ment(um)</i>, originally used to form agent and action nouns from verbs, now used to form nouns and denominative verbs in several related senses:</p>
<ol>
<li>"An action, process, or skill" denoted by the combining root: rearmament, tournament, management.</li>
<li>"A result, object, or agent of an action" named by the joining root: entombment, enthrallment, agreement.</li>
<li>"The means or instrument of an action": implement, medicament, reinforcement.</li>
<li>"The place of an action" named by the first root: battlement, ambushment, settlement.</li>
<li>"A state or condition" specified by the first root: bewilderment, predicament, bereavement.</li>
</ol>
<p>The verb combinations show no change in basic form: cement, compliment, lament.</p>
<p>Principal parts: -menting, -mented, -mented.<br/><br/>Related forms: -mentum (singular); -menta, -menti, -ments (plurals).</p>
<p><br/>From: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://wordinfo.info/unit/1288/s:abridgment">http://wordinfo.info/unit/1288/s:abridgment</a></p>
<p>I do like the word Recruitment for describing the overall function, but not for the people doing it, who are best termed " Recruiters". It's way better than "Talent Acquisition", which is the WORST. <br/><br/></p>

@ Dave. Oh come on. If you want to be more impressive let's try "I am a websitement consultant doing designment and development of recruitment portals for recruitment and placement consultants" Ha! Now see if you can find somebody who does publishment of business cards who can get all that on there. Would you like a breath mint? :)

<p>I think the more stilted and pompus people try to sound the more difficult it is to understand. Your example is perfect. If it has always been that way most folks "get it". It's when we have to fluff it up that we create the looks that remind me of the look a dog gets when you make a high pitched noise.</p>

<p>I sent a tweet to a kid the other day asking if he was interested in a job in Dallas or if any of his friends might be. He came back and said the he had another year before he graduated but he would ask his colleagues. Colleagues??? I thought college kids had buddies, friends and frat brothers. Colleagues indeed, you are a baby programmer, you have geek buddies or at best fellow students. Doctors and Scientists have colleagues and only after they have been out of fellowship for a few years. My word picture was some goofy kid in tennis shoes with his baseball cap on backwards with sunglasses on his head saying, "Hello colleagues, any of you giving consideration to Dallas after you matriculate. Crap!</p>

<p>Excellent post Sandra. It is a struggle especially whilst introducing yourself.</p>
<p>Unike, I'm a banker, or I'm a lawyer, or I'm a doctor. I used to say, " I work for a Recruitment agency" and invariably the person would go, "er what?" now I simply say "I'm a Recruiter" - that gets a much better response.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ps - I'm from Australia and yes I agree with you Sandra, over 90% of the recruiters here say "I'm in Recruitment"</p>
