[Publib] Temp placement service wants to use meeting room

[Linda Cannon]

Our policy allows us to charge for-profits for use of the room, so that
would make it a no-brainer here.

Subject: [Publib] Temp placement service wants to use meeting room



Hire Dynamics, LLC, a temporary staffing agency, has approached us
asking to use one of our meeting rooms for a "job fair."  My gut feeling
is that this is not a good idea; they are private, for profit, and why
should we enhance their bottom line by providing a free venue for what
might well be no more than a recruiting effort.  If the State Department
of Labor or a non-profit wanted to hold a job fair, I'd feel
differently.

 

Furthermore, I think it would set a dangerous precedent.

 

Any thoughts?
