This is Brooke. I understand your points. I thought about whether I should include a picture or not because I'm not that photogenic.
I'll often advertise the same position under multiple job titles. In this case, for example, I did a straight-up ad for position under Administrative Assistants and I got dull candidates.
The best candidates came from this ad placed under Writers and Editors.
Anything I do that is unusual gets its share of skeptics, which is fine. I am more interested in the people who wonder if I am a fraud or not, but are not afraid to find out.
One of my best hires for a position of Compliance Officer Trainee also came from an ad in Writers and Editors. She had an undergrad in Psych and a Masters in Tibetan Buddhism. It had never occurred to her that there would be a Wall Street job that cared about her ethics training. She answered because she didn't think I was legit, but was curious to find out.
I also hate the hugs - it is creepy, and I also don't like the cheek kissing, etc. But that's just me.
