You missed the point. American recruiting firms get money for finding = people to fill positions in America. They do not (with rare exceptions) get = money for finding people to fill positions in India or China. Microsoft (according to the article) is actively outsourcing to those = locations. Thus their new positions they want people for are not going to be filled = by American search firms (with rare exceptions) They are going to be = filled by Chinese and Indian search firms. It is illogical for an American search firm to be sending money to a = company that is actively working to NOT have to ever need their services. Every = dollar that an American search firm spends on a Microsoft product simply helps=20 Microsoft to dry up the pool of positions and send them overseas that = much faster. In short, the search firms are helping to fund their own = demise. The situation is analogous to General Motors buying a bunch of Ford cars for their fleet sales reps. to use to drive around to their accounts, = because the person at GM doing the purchase finds that the Ford cars are easier to drive. Do you get it now? Ted
