Does anyone have any information on any jobs posted or how to post jobs for individuals who seek to work in the alternative community. I actually had to hire a secretary, and in doing so thought, it would have been great to find a submissive seeking that type of work because as my aide, they must be around me so much, then I can 'let me guard down' so to speak, or have the best of both worlds.
I have also spoken with others in various branches of the alternative community who have either run into the same problems, or wished that they could find such an opportunity.
There must be a source somewhere that caters to this. Bar some intentional communities, those of us not seeking to forever play the game of being in the Disney mainstream and living within it while not being a part of or subscribing to it dont usually find any recourse. Anyone with any ideas or info in this, please let me know.

Hmmm you could contact NCSF.

But I'd be wary...personally even IF someone from work had the courage to come out to me, I wouldn't talk about it. I keep an extremely thick line between professional work and personal life. I'd also not want to tread into waters of sexual influencing and other complications.

Not to mention...you want to know the HR nightmare if it gets found out you hire someone because of "lifestyle preference"?

Warriorprincess-
Since, I'm not a HR person. I couldn't explain all the legal mumbo jumbo. What I would suggest, is that you sit down and carefully think about what all you need this person to do for you. How much is this person going to be exposed to? What type of work environment, will this person have to be in? Then after writing all this down. Stop and re-read it, two or three times to make sure nothing was forgotten or to correct an incomplete thought.
I would then rough out an ad, mind you this process isn't over. After placing an ad, you still have to interview potential canidates. This I would do, in two stages. A formal, sit down face to face interview. To see if this is someone you want to represent you in this fashion. Then the other would be to move to another location, perhaps a walking interview. To see how they handle change, and how fast they can adapt. The interview process, will be entirely on you. Know ahead of time what you want. One thing a good boss of mine told me once.
It's always easy to come across as a hard ass & being strict, then revert to a nice guy. Then it is to be their friend and then try to become strict.

My last job, had me interviewing, making hiring recommendations, and field training of people hired. So, I used to interview people while we walked around the block. Because of the nature of the job we were doing, my final question to anybody who survived. Was, If hired can you get to Tin Barn, CA? This generally weeded out those that were good interviewers and those actually looking for work.
