I hope that this doesn’t have a different meaning in the US… Anyway, in the UK a “Chugger” is a “Charity Mugger”. One of those super smiley types that tries to stop you whenever you are walking around a city or town to get you to pledge money to a certain charity every month. They are relentless in their pursuit of you (imagine the Terminator with a scary smile and a clipboard….).
I was the “victim” of an attempted “chugging” on my way home from work yesterday. I get why the Chuggers hang around busy business areas but oh, their timing just sucks! They try to stop you on your way home when you are clearly pegging it to the station to catch your train.
I have an admittedly, tenuous link to recruiting here… The interview process with Lab49 does not leave you feeling exhausted after a dogged pursuit by us. We move along at the pace that works for you. If you can’t take my call during the day, let me know when is good to talk to you or say that you would prefer an email. If you would rather come in for an informal chat about the company, culture or role before committing yourself to the interview process, we do that too. In short, we want you to feel completely comfortable with the interview process in terms of both content and pace. We don’t corner or pressure you into making decisions – we want to bring on board those candidates who feel that they have the information that they need about the company and have spoken with sufficient staff members to get a real sense of what we are about (and the kinds of people that you would be working with).
Our recruitment drive continues so if you want to work for a forward-thinking, techie centric and respectful employer, look no further.
