CEO of the Geek Factory was misquoted

Statement regarding article written by the Atlanta Journal Constitution reporter re: Hiring practices based on email domain names:

The CEO of the Geek Factory was misquoted in a recent article regarding hiring practices based on email domain names. The full quote read: "I would never hire someone with an address like "hotbabe43@aol.com" or "Iamgoodinbed69@hotmail.com."

The Geek Factory has no problem with resumes coming from aol.com, and has hired many employees with an aol.com address. From a professionalism standpoint, however, we would hire someone with a "firstname.lastname@aol.com" address over someone with a "HotStud71@aol.com" address every time. It's simply our choice to hire employees who know enough not to email potential employers from a non-professional email address.

The Geek Factory apologizes for the error, and would like to assure any readers of that article that we're happy to receive all resumes, whether they end in aol.com or not."
