years and years ago, i had a manager who insisted on calling the 2 tech

About 15 years ago, I tried to get "documentarian" to mean what we do, but
apparently the people who make documentaries have co-opted that term. I
liked it for it's vaguely cult-like connotations.

themselves talent acquisition consultants? I wonder what would be the
parallel for us.
