[quote=Anonymous]As a very experienced HM, I strongly agree with 12:07 not to sell your perks.  We actually say nothing at all about our perks until MUCH later in the interview process. The two times I included info about our short hours and generous perks, we attracted totally the wrong types of candidates and ended up both times with APs who were looking to work as little as possible.  I now spend a lot of time focusing on how hard our APs will work and how potentially challenging our job is so that we only get candidates who are up for a challenge.  They are thrilled, when they get to the stage in the interview process of talking to previous APs, to find out what a good gig we are offering overall.  On aupairmom, some of the HMs call this the "dare to match with us" strategy, but I think it's just being smart about advertising for the right candidate (which for us is someone who is capable, smart, proactive, highly responsible, able to juggle a lot of information, self-starter, etc).
