Thoughts on talent lists? Due to the insane amount of layoffs in our industry I’m seeing an increase in the number of people offering to curate a list of talent available for work. While I totally get the intention, it feels like we’re taking out the humanity and individuality from the hiring process. I find it really depressing. Curious what others think…

If companies want creative work, they need creative hires. Hiring creatively seems like the most sensible solution, not cattle calls and CSVs. it’s ineffective for everybody.

An interesting one.

It does feel like presenting candidates as a faceless list of names isn’t advantageous…because it inevitably becomes a question of whether someone recruiting can be assed to go through them all. How do they pick? Bias on gender/presumed ethnicity?

And if the list becomes more of a spreadsheet with select comparable details (recent agency, years experience, awards etc)…that risks making the process pretty mathematical which traditionally doesn’t benefit underrepresented minorities or people who have valid but different career paths.

I noticed you were hesitant on speaking about ethnicity. Facts are companys have to hire a percentage of different races so why not talk about it and people can use that for good to their advantage?

I have a question for my fellow PI paralegals in Texas. TPCIGA requires that we submit all medical bills through the clients insurance before proceeding further. The client in question has Aetna. I sent the bills with a cover letter to Aetna via certified mail. I am having so much trouble getting a status on said claim. Does anyone here have experience with that and can assist me? Any help or guidance is appreciated.

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
