Luckily American recruiters / HR professionals don't match this profile. Actually Australia has a profile similar to your description ;-) - except for the gun bit. Luckily crowdsourcing will work in New Zealand, as we are a near perfect bunch. @Michael - I've been thinking about crowdsourcing in a candidate assessment / selection context - got no idea how it could work though.

Now I'm not a big thinker on this subject -- but most crowds in America are fat, unruly, unwashed, and support guns. In fact, I don't trust crowds. Not one bit. I just decided that right now.
