1.) Bio companies may sell their mailing lists to other companies...
2.) Do you have any online subscriptions to anything? They may sell your
info.
3.) I've heard of companies scanning Facebook and MySpace - is your home
address is on them and set to public?
Just some guesses....

Hi Michael,
Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying to you. If you get a
solicitation call at work that bugs you--tell them to buzz off.
I don't know that you ought to let it hurt your feelings or something,
though.
In the world of business, it is reasonable to expect that head hunters
are at all times seeking to hire your best and brightest out from under
you--the way to stop them is by making it worth people's while to stick
around.
To my knowledge, histotechnologists are, as a rule of thumb, over-worked
and under-appreciated.
And yet they are darn handy to have around.
I suggest that you make it your personal mission to ensure that your
histotechs ARE NOT looking for another job. That way, when a recruiter
calls, your techs say "Leave my current position? What are you
crazy??!!!"

I Wanted to obtained opinions of Managers/Supervisors in the histo world
and how you handle situations regarding recruiters calling directly into
Pathology Labs to specific tech's and stating they are seeking referrals
for job placements. I recently had an AP staffing solution company call
one of my labs to talk to any "histologist" I felt was to recruit
staff. I feel this is an unprofessional practice to call directly into
the laboratory and to hide behind the wording "referrals" when actually
it appears they are trying to get information from the tech on the phone
seeing if they are looking for a "new job". I feel that this is an
intrusion as well as inappropriate in our line of business and we are
not in the business to give referrals to companies in the staffing
solution arena for their monetary gain as well as trying to entice our
staff. What the staff does with these types of companies on personal
time is their business, however, I think it is offending for companies
to demonstrate this behavior. If anyone would like to know which
company and person called into my lab I will personally inform you on
private email!
