Dear Elyse,
I work as a recruiter. Sometimes, I look at the resumes on file and think that applicants would make a great mate. Is it ok for me to contact them for a date?
Yours,

Dear Have My Hands on Hot Dates,
Sure- give all these random hotties a call. In fact, bombard them with daily emails of pictures of yourself, and even stop by their house with flowers. Okay, I hope you have enough intelligence not to take this advice seriously. No, it is not advisable to pursue these people on a date. Would you like it if you signed up a newsletter on pet advice and then received a credit card? This is a similar scenario. These recruits didn't sign up to find a soulmate, they signed up to find a job. You don't even know if they are single. And by the way-what about their resume makes you think that they would be a good mate? I didn't realize that a degree from x university or a certificate in x skill makes for a soulmate. Nothing in a resume hints at someone's inner traits which is what we should be looking for in a mate.
However, if you are so inclined to use your job for locating suitable dates, you can under these circumstances. If you interview someone for a job because you intended to interview them ( they were suitable for the position you were recruiting for), you may pursue them after they have been placed in a job. Otherwise, it will look like there was favoritism involved and you may loose your position. And then you may end up dateless and jobless. Good luck with your search for a date.
Yours,
Elyse.
