JobBurner Employer HotSpot

Tips, tricks, and advice on finding the industry's hottest technical talent

The value - and downside - of passion

Curt Rosengren asks one of those questions that makes you think:  Are you afraid of passionate employees?  "Passion" is the one of the top 3 things you usually hear that employers from their idea candidates, yet at the same time, a now passionate employee might realize their passion actually lies somewhere else and may take off down the road. It's one of those age old catch-22s of the employment industry.  It's like when you train your employees and give them rich experiences - and they go off and get a better / different job leveraging the skills you taught them.  Just one of those things that makes you go hmm.   :)
