Symptoms of an addiction to recruitment, otherwise called a "staffing infection" are:

• a burning need for job descriptions...
• leash marks from attempts to restrain you from going before "Ready, Set,... GO!"   
• a swelling of the right eyeball when five resumes match  your latest job description
• feint rasp of a voice about to sputter out from talking, talking, and talking...
• forehead furrows made so deep from trying to logically accept HR bureaucracy
• a white knuckle, teeth clenching spasm when HR finally gets back to you for an "update"
• an increased heart rate and a fit of jimmy legs when your candidate is offered
• and, a slap-happy grin accompanied by foam on your lip as you confirm a start date

 

 

I invite you to add your very own symptoms...
