[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I run a hip, boutique interactive agency that recently posted some positions. We clearly state the application process is to send a cover letter, resume and references through our website. A candidate bypasses all of that to email me - "Hey Anne!" and proceeds to tell me why I should hire him. Does not attach any of the requested a materials online as directed.

[b]Is this maverick exactly the sort of out of the box thinking our company needs[/b] or is this a self-important narcissist whose email should get immediately marked as spam?

I think so, but it depends on your clients. I would hire a recruiting firm that innovates on the old model of resume+references+cover letter and comes up with something unique to attract qualified, dynamic candidates who sell themselves.[/quote]

Sorry I just realized you are not a recruiting firm.  As a business owner myself, these are actually the kind of people I hope are interested in coming to work with me.[/quote]
