<p>@Steve - I absolutely agree there is much more to this and unfortunately there are some agencies out there that don't manage to responsible business practices and this act would not solve anything as written. If this passes, it would majorly alter the way ethical agencies manage their business, to everyone's detriment.</p>

<p>Hi Melissa,</p>
<p>Great post, but the issue has major implications not only in "getting" a job description, but for companies like mine that are based in NH, we would have to have an office in MA in order to do business. It would restrict recruiters from sending resumes to prospective clients. I attended the first hearing in June and granted there have been and are by the sounds of it some very unscrupulous staffing firms that are in fact treating temps very poorly, but for the supporters…</p>
<p>Hi Melissa,</p>
<p>Great post, but the issue has major implications not only in "getting" a job description, but for companies like mine that are based in NH, we would have to have an office in MA in order to do business. It would restrict recruiters from sending resumes to prospective clients. I attended the first hearing in June and granted there have been and are by the sounds of it some very unscrupulous staffing firms that are in fact treating temps very poorly, but for the supporters of this bill to paint with such a broad paint brush is just irresponsible. Any reputable agency, will have a job description, meet their payroll requirements and deadlines and moreover will work with clients to be sure the workplace environment is safe. I would encourage you and your network if you have not done so, spread the word and keep up to date with the MAPS contingent and collectively with much needed support we can defeat this bill that will do nothing but harm the "good, reputable and ethical staffing firms not only in MA but those in the region that do work iwth MA clients. <a target="_blank" href="http://http://www.recruitersnation.org/staffing-in-massachusetts-who-is-for-real">http://http://www.recruitersnation.org/staffing-in-massachusetts-who-is-for-real</a></p> Hi Melissa: Great post.

<p>Hi Melissa: Great post. Most clients, surprisingly, don't understand or know how to write a job spec. In HR school they don't teach it either. I am not sure what the Massachusetts law is, but it will probably help recruiters (and companies) a lot. I wrote one of my Ad Age columns on this subject in 2009, entitled, "Want Better Job Candidates? Write Better Job Specs. Here is the link: …</p>
