Today on my way to work I was behind a “rodent reducer” truck. He was from the other side of town and in my neck of the woods at 6:30am. Why would I notice that, because it was very early to see a license plate from another county which is an hour away? This is […]
What the blue blazes is in the air? Everyone is busy at the same time and on vacation while working post production with a sinus infection.
Come on people we are your business partner. We work with you. You wanted this particular person to come and work for you. Communicate and let us know what the […]
If it makes you look ten years younger, smells like a gardenia bush, is minty fresh, whitens and brightens, gives a golden hue, fluffs and is powdery fresh, well it’s in my bathroom. The medicinal cabinet and closet are filled with impulse, insecurity and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
There is the skin cream to make […]
Polly needs some feedback.
So last week in the news there was this African grey parrot in Japan that flew out of his cage and became lost. He was rescued by the police from the roof of a neighbor’s near by house. He spent one night in the station without saying a word to the cops. […]
I, (Kim Kurtz, Creative Recruiter at Talent Zoo), take you (my Dear Agency who needs an ACD with heavy pharma and art background), to be my (lovely business partner), to have and to hold (your hand) from this day forward (with as many cell phone calls as you need to make – nights and weekends), […]
A few weeks ago my girlfriends from work attempted to lift my spirits by taking me out to eat at a swanky restaurant here in Atlanta. The food was fabulous, the atmosphere was calm yet exciting and the prices were very reasonable. It was a wonderful adventure. It was nice to forget for a minute […]
Yesterday my baby went into day two with a fever and so much yellow goop in his eyes they could not be pried open with the jaws of life. Every family member made their diagnosis and it was time to have the final professional one done by the MD who actually went to school for […]
My parents are in the process of selling their lake house. It was to be their retirement home and because of our family friend “cancerâ€, they are now placing it in the capable hands of the very same man who sold them the property.

The market is pure poo right now and my husband and I […]
Recently we had one of our favorite Clients ask us to send her our best stories of disastrous experiences that happened in an interview so her CEO could give a speech at UNC on “marketing yourselfâ€. (We all have had them being in the business we are in of recruiting.) Here are my […]
If you have an executive level candidate interviewing, please put them in a hotel that is more than $55 a night establishment with prostitutes soliciting in the back parking lot. If you have an executive level candidate who is going to run a vital part of your company, please rent them something bigger than […]
Rare diamonds do not sit on the top of the terra firma. If you want more than phenomenal caliber, then one must delve past the surface area. Have you noticed anything valuable requires a larger manifestation of energy? When you do accomplish it, whether it is the ideal weight or the perfect emerald, […]
We went to a swanky restaurant this weekend to celebrate my birthday. Watching and listening to the patrons can be as filling as the meal. To be able to stare and not get caught can be an art form – of which my better half fails miserably. He turns not just his head, […]
Traffic in Atlanta sucks. I live 11 miles from work and it takes me an hour to get home every evening. It’s a good thing my 2 pack a day smoking habit ended some five years ago because I’d smoke myself silly in the car with sans left lung. So there are […]
7th grade just sucks. It really sucks when you are so white you are actually blue and vegetable soup has more meat than the skin on your 70 pound frame. Oh to be popular and wanted - to be adored by all the masses. To have real boobs and not ones made of […]
So we had a GCD go and interview for an ECD position. All seemed to go fairly well, considering the owner of the agency is as easy to wrangle down for an interview as rabies infested raccoon on a hot summer night. They actually spoke for over two hours – which is amazing […]
You are going to have to pay for someone to move to work at your agency.
You are going to pay for someone to move who is actually going to run your agency.
You can not pay less money nor give a lower title for your talent to have more responsibility in a city which cost more […]
Thanks. We’re really happy. –Kevin
Gregg has arrived safe and sound. Great to have him on board.
Hey Kim,
He’s here! So glad it all worked out. Thank you so much for your help. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
It will take some time for me to sell my house. Assuming that I […]
‘Twas the night before an offer, when all through the office place
Every creature was stirring, to win this final race;
The benefits were hung on the wall with care,
In hopes that a new employee soon would be there;
The creatives were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of six-figured salaries danced in their heads;
And EVP in […]
On the twelfth day of Creative Recruiting, my true love sent to me:
Twelve new voicemail,
Eleven emails begging “Help me,â€
Ten emails screaming “Get me out of here,â€
Nine Copywriters who can’t send PDFs,
Eight Interactive open jobs,
Seven subs sent,
Six “Next Steps†conversations,
Five hung-over Creative Directors,
Four offers pending,
Three reference checks,
Two counter offers,
And one great job opening.

On a warm summer’s eve
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin’
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us, he began to speak
He said, “Son, I’ve made a life
Out of readin’ people’s faces
Knowin’ what the cards were
By the way they held […]
