Out of the Blue....

Got a call today from a client. We had a candidate in with them last year who ended up turning down the job offer. The turndown came after many discussions and several concessions from the client. Well, just as I had told the candidate, his decision ended up being a mistake. He contacted the client, they have a signed offer and start date. They were calling to let us know that they would be sending us a check, yay!

@Jerry Albright, this is the guy who wanted to change to part-time, wanted 4 more vacation days, etc.

Love it! That is like getting money sent home from your kids at camp. What a great client to let you know and even better to send you a check. Congrats.

Grats Amber!!! The retro-placement- always makes you feel good. Like Sandra also added, kudos to the client for being stand up about it. Hope it is the first of many more for you this month.

@ Sandra - my son's way too old for camp, but if he ever "paid me back" half of what we've "lent" to him I could retire now!

@ Tim - yes, this client is great and long-time. I have recently been lucky enough to be working with a few really extraordinarily wonderful clients, sure makes life a lot more enjoyable.
