Hiring Smart hires CarShareHFX “We need vehicles occasionally for short trips locally. In the past I would have to skip walking to work and bring the car for the day. Now I can walk to work and have the car too! ¶ We reduced our parking expenses at work, reduced our travel expenses for local trips – thank you CarShareHFX” &ndash Tim Brennan, Chief Visionary Officer, HiringSmart Inc. Intelligent, classy, well-educated women who say ... a lot It's an interesting commentary on our times and perhaps on human nature altogether that this facebook page attracted over a million fans almost overnight this past month. The page has no background info what-so-ever and most wall posts are vacuous... and yet it does have catchy title... This facebook page on the other hand, attracts a similar vocal demographic, has many of the same fans enjoying humour, exploring big issues, sharing insights with intelligent comments and not swearing (at least not out loud!).
