| NEWSLETTER--July, 2007 Stellar Group Recruiting LLC is pleased to send you this information which is designed to help you learn both industry and governmental changes. Every quarter, we will bring you updates and interesting information that, hopefully, can add to your business capability. FCC Regulations Require Written Permission to Send Faxes The dying practice of sending unsolicited resumes or other information by fax to potential clients may have received its final push toward extinction in a recent action by the Federal Communications Commission. Beginning August 30, 2003, the effective date of the new FCC rules, those who send resumes or other advertisements by fax to anyone, even companies with whom they have an established business relationship, must receive the prior express written permission from the company for the recruiter to send faxes to that company. It will not be sufficient to send a notice to a client advising it that, unless the recruiter hears otherwise, the recruiter will assume the client has consented to the receipt of unsolicited faxes. The regulations do not apply to resumes sent by E-mail. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!!! This issue (3d quarter 2007), is dedicated primarily to one piece of information. It is an article called ZERO DEFECT HIRING, written by Dr. Pierre Mornell, March 1, 1998. It was reproduced in Inc Magazine. While a lengthy article, it is an excellent roadmap for your hiring procedure. It's thesis is that "The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior." You will find the article filled with practical advise, which includes interviewing techniques (both for you and the candidate), post interview strategies, and reference checking. Having your team read this article and discuss it at a staff meeting would a lot more economical than sending them to a costly seminar. At the beginning of the article, click on "Print this page" and you can read it at your leisure. Please share this article with other management members. http://www.inc.com/articles/hr/manage_emp/recruit/889.html Thanks for your interest, and we look forward to talking with you in the future.
