I’ve been doing my research on the dreaded “bad weasels, “more commonly known in the recruiting vernacular as “backdoor placements.” In a previous post, I mentioned some other potential names for backdoor placements, but “bad weasel” is not only my favorite, but probably the best description of this despicable, yet inevitable, recruitment worst practice.
After doing a little bit more digging into these weasel holes, however, I’ve found through my research is that despite the fact that backdoor placements are all too common (ubiquitous, even), very few recruiters have a formal process in place for dealing with them.
