Gabriana Clay-White - Kelly Mitchell, Fort Worth

Infuriations: Lying about sourcing, near-illiteracy, arrogantly lecturing prospects that she's too busy to read resumes

Gabriana "Gabby" Clay-White is a classic example of a waste of oxygen who actually gets in the way of employment. She contacted our nominator via email with a job description for which he had applied one month previously online through Kelly Mitchell, claiming to have "come across" his resume, and included the full job description as recruiters do for first contacts. When the prospect explained that he had already applied, she suddenly decided that she had found his information in the Kelly Mitchell system.

It got worse, of course. Next she proved herself ignorant of the job location, clearly spelled out in the description, and had to accept the correction about location from our nominator. Once she retrieved the prospect's resume in the system, she showed her lack of reading skills by stumbling over plain-English company names.

Then things went even further downhill, as Clay-White demanded to hear the prospect's recital of job descriptions that were immediately below the company names she had just tried to read. The prospect complied, but when she then demanded to hear about tools used, the prospect politely referred her to that section of his resume -- ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF HER -- titled "Tools."

That's when Clay-White's little toy train of thought jumped the tracks. For the next two minutes, she angrily lectured the prospect that she was too busy to read resumes. Consider: a recruiter solicited a prospect and then yelled at him that she could not be expected to read the resume displayed on her own computer screen because she had to deal with "50 resumes a day!"

Perhaps someone will read this Hall of Shame entry to her.
