Big companies are often in the process of laying off workers. Small startup companies are the ones that are hiring. The statistics prove that’s where job growth is going to occur.
The idea of ‘interview-less hiring’ is new and a trend we will see in the changing global job market.
Everyone else is parsing it in terms of lowering the corporate income tax. Eliminate it. It’s not that big of a generator of income, and it’s a double tax. Get rid of it, and you would have an explosion of hiring.
Stop pretending there’s anything wrong with businesspeople hiring diligent laborers who will work for less. Let employers sponsor any worker and argue for why that worker should be given citizenship. Such a vetting mechanism would naturally promote the best and hardest-working.
We already know that anonymous letters are despicable. In etiquette, as well as in law, hiring a hit man to do the job does not relieve you of responsibility.

When I opened my first brew-pub, I did not include a checkbox on hiring applications that required applicants to disclose criminal convictions. And we were better for it.
Managers have to demand more of their HR departments, and they have to demand more of themselves. And we all have to be open to hiring people that don’t look like us and that don’t sound like us, and not find that threatening.

When I got out of acting school, I was lucky to have gotten any job at all. A lot of people hiring African American actresses – it was right after ‘Roots,’ and for society, not me, it was great. Nice richly dark-skinned people was the fashion, and I was not.
When I interview someone, I want to find out about their life, get a sense of their personality, their passion. Maybe I’m hiring for a certain job, but even if your job is marketing, I’m going to ask you for your opinion on other things – taste this, what do you think of this bottle?
The Obama administration is not helping small businesses create jobs. In fact, it is responsible for the regulatory uncertainty nearly 50 percent of small-business owners cite as responsible for their lack of hiring.
Talent has no gender. People are hiring young male directors right out of film school, off of a student film or off of a film at Sundance for millions of dollars. You can do the same with a female. It’s not a risk about the work if you respect the film that they made.

Companies are hiring cosplayers to be promotional spokes models for them. There are cosplayers trying to develop a cult following even though they’ve only been cosplaying for less than a year or two. It’s all about the social media or Facebook likes.
I don’t know how one would define an affirmative-action hire. I ultimately do not know what role race played in my hiring.
