No, I am not a shill. I asked, have you ever been to “recruting.com”? 
Because I type too fast, earlier today I typed in r-e-c-r-u-t-i-n-g-.com instead of Recruiting.com and sat there staring at the screen with my face contorted in confusion for half a second before I realized what had happened. My confusion was made worse by the post that I had seen earlier letting the community know that Recruiting.com was in fact DOWN. So here I am, on recruting.com – and I am thinking – Oh my, someone has HIJACKED the site.
But thankfully, no… my Recruiting.com is safe and it was my typing skills that just got the best of me again.
So curious yet? Go see what’s there… Recruting.com.
Update: So, I think have their PERFECT tagline:

Good post, Shannon. The other day, I found the site was down. It must have been Wednesday. That was the day my site got a blizzard of traffic.
And as I surfed the Recruiting.com site to see what comments were happening and what content was scrolling through the feed, the dreaded 404 error message showed up.
“Hmph,” I thought. “What’s that?” So I back clicked and refreshed. It cleared up and I kept reading and comparing and the error happened again. I looked again at my stats and the interest in the post that was *supposed* to have gone on Nobscot two weeks ago about exit interviews, retention, and abusive bosses. “Probably a traffic blitz that the servers can’t handle,” I thought and picked up the phone to notify someone at Recruiting.com because, obviously, if the server’s down, so is the email.
Life goes on, and work, and more pressing things to do. Is my attitude cavalier? Not at all. I’ve just had too many business email accounts and websites ripped apart and deleted than I care to even attempt to remember, and too many things I’ve strived to earn and achieve left behind for others to consume. It just hardens the survival attitude and spurs one to keep moving. And the less you carry, the more agile, the faster the pace.
Recruiting.com was down for a little while. But the lights weren’t turned off and the building wasn’t removed. See? Those are Recruiting.com lights over there with your name in them.
Thanks for the comment Yvonne. I agree with you – the less you carry the better. Before I was married and had our 2 kids – I used to say that I would never own more than I could fit in my car.
I still subscribe to that notion – but now necessity dictates that I need a small moving truck – no longer my first little Saturn.
