Job Alert – Obamas digital Avengers

How to recruit top talented people holding well-paid positions? President Obama faced this challenge while starting his health care reform. „Obamacare“ was about to fail, because the website did not work. To save his project he had to convince „the gods and goddesses of the Silicon Valley“ to move to Washington in order to overhaul the whole government’s digital infrastructure. What did he do? The same what start ups do – he gave a 45 minutes sales pitch and threatened them, that he would personally call their bosses, spouses and kids to make them work for him.

You probably can’t use the President’s “weapons”, but you can at least make sure, your job add is read by the right people. Just post your job offer on our website www.politjobs.eu.

And for the readers of the job adds: If you are still waiting for a call from our president, Jean Claude Juncker, you might want to have a look at our latest job offers meanwhile.
