Konohagakure Military Forces Organization

It took a while but it's finally done.

HOKAGE

The highest authority of Konohagakure, the face of the Fire Country's military forces and has the duty to lead, administer and protect Konoha and to ensure the maximum prosperity of the village.

KONOHA COUNCIL

The Konoha Council, made up of the village's top officials and people the Hokage trusts. Their duty is to assist the Hokage in governing Konoha and to offer their opinion on decisions that must be made with the greatest benefit to Konoha in mind.

In addition, in case the Hokage is unable to choose his successor, the council is responsible for finding eligible candidates for the position.

Members

Current Hokage - Supreme leader of Konohagakure, the council exists to provide him with different points of view so he can make the best decisions.

Previous Hokage: Although not always possible, if the previous Hokage were alive, he would be part of the council to offer his advice and experience to his successor.

Anbu Commander - Leader of the Ambu Forces of Konoha, as the leader of the forces that work in the shadow of the great tree that is Konoha, Commander Anbu possesses great knowledge of the dark side of the village.

Jonin Commander - Leader of the Regular Shinobi Forces, his job is to manage the basic and specialised forces of Konoha's various departments. It is therefore his duty to report to the Hokage about these forces and what he considers to be the most appropriate use of these forces.

Advisors - These are usually experienced shinobi who have served Konoha and are considered to be shinobi of great renown due to the passage of time, but the Hokage also has the option of including people he trusts among his advisors. 

The Hokage's personal assistant may also be included in the council.

ANBU Black Ops

The Anbu Special Forces are a squad of Konoha's shinobi forces who work in secret, led by the Anbu Commander and only obey the orders of the Hokage.

Everything they do is for the good of Konoha, assassinations, torture and tracking down defected or treacherous ninja, all their operations are done without the public or the regular Konoha forces knowing about them.

They usually work in teams and hide their identities under animal masks and are known only to Konoha's top brass. Age, gender, origin or previous rank do not matter in order to be chosen for the Anbu.

The Anbu is divided into different departments to ensure that the members chosen for a mission have the necessary skills to complete it smoothly.

Hunter Dept. - The duty of this department is to track and keep an eye on targets of interest to Konoha by carrying out various actions such as manipulation or assassination if necessary.

Assasination Dept. - The duty of this department is to assassinate targets that threaten Konoha, often working with political enemies of the village or assassinating the right people for the benefit of the village.

Internal Affairs Dept. - The duty of this department is to deal with Konoha's internal affairs through covert operations under the order of the Hokage. Traitors, spies, or people who would be better off disappearing from Konoha are often targeted.

Infiltration Dept. - The duty of this department is to train its members to be able to infiltrate into enemy forces or countries to gain information or cause chaos within them.

Medical Team - Anbu trained in medical skills to ensure the health and survival of the members of the organisation. 

Watchers Team - They are considered the most public part of the Anbu as they work closely with the Konoha Security Department. Their duty is to maintain internal surveillance of Konoha by watching for traitors and spies or possible plots.

Instructor Team - They are in charge of training new Anbu recruits to meet the organisation's skill requirements.

ROOT: - An unrecognized division of the Anbu that works with the sole purpose of benefiting Konoha no matter what decisions need to be made. Being unrecognized they receive no support from the Hokage of any kind and in case they are discovered by the enemy Konoha will not lift a finger for them.

By joining this organisation you must renounce all your previous life and emotions as Konoha should be the only thing that matters. It is led by Danzo Shimura.

Konoha Regular Forces

Led by Commander Jonin, Konoha's public forces are divided into Basic and Specialized forces that work closely with each other to ensure the smooth running of Konoha's military operations.

Basic Forces

They are made up of shinobi who do not belong to any Konoha department and therefore their work consists solely of carrying out missions assigned by the mission delivery desk.

Because of this, their entire salary is decided by the missions they perform, making their salary irregular as the payment for the missions is divided between Konoha and the mission members.

Academy Student - The lowest rank of Konoha's military forces, their job consists solely of studying to possess the skills expected of a genin, however in emergencies they may be employed to evacuate civilians.

If an academy student demonstrates great skill in any subject they can become a junior member of a Konoha department.

Genin - Low-ranking shinobi divided into two groups, Fresh Genin and Senior Genin.

Fresh Genin are those who have recently graduated from the academy and are part of a team of three genin and one jonin sensei. They perform D-ranked and occasionally C-ranked missions. They are expected to obey and learn from their sensei in order to improve their skills and move up the ranks.

However, there are also genin who are privately tutored by a jounin sensei once they graduate or go directly into a Konoha department and become a junior member if they were not already a junior member during their time at the academy.

Senior Genin are those who have taken a chunin examination and have survived but not passed or have completed a large number of missions and are allowed greater freedom and autonomy.

They have the ability to perform D-rank missions alone and C-rank missions in teams with other senior genin or chunin, in which case their jounin sensei acts as an occasional teacher and advisor as well as being one of those who decide if the genin is suitable for field promotion.

Chunin - Mid-ranking shinobi who have mastered the general skills expected of a shinobi and who have demonstrated sufficient maturity to be entrusted with leadership and security over other ninja. They are expected to possess mastery over an elemental nature. And they are considered the bulk of Konoha's forces.

Once you become a Chunin you have the option of becoming an official member of a Konoha department. And they are usually the ones who carry out the C and B rank missions.

Despite what most people think, there are different ways to become a Chunin:

Chunin exams - These is considered the quickest way to rise through the ranks but also the most dangerous as you risk your life by facing shinobi from other villages.

Field Promotion - Awarded to senior genin who have demonstrated all the skills expected of a chunin during the completion of their missions, to be considered for field promotion it is necessary to have completed 50 D-rank missions, 25 C-ranked missions and at least one B-ranked mission.

Department Promotion - Only awarded to genin who are junior members of a Konoha department and have demonstrated chunin skills. They must still pass an examination conducted by their department head to ensure that they possess all the necessary skills.

Tokubetsu Jonin - Shinobi whose overall skills are superior to Chunin but still below Jonin except in a certain ability in which they surpass most Jonin. They must master at least one elemental nature.

This rank is usually given to members of the various departments of Konoha who due to their specialised work in the departments surpass the jonin in that specific skill. However, it is also given to those who are not members of the departments if they demonstrate great skill.

Jonin - High level shinobi who must be highly proficient in all shinobi skills. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Bukijutsu, etc and possess control over two chakra natures as well as demonstrating analytical and strategic abilities. To be chosen as a jounin, one must pass a test conducted by two senior jonin.

The jonin are the ones who usually perform A and S rank missions. In addition, once they have completed and passed the teaching course, the jonin have the possibility to become leaders and masters of a team of 3 genin.

A doctors’ organization at the center of the ongoing legal fight over the abortion drug mifepristone has suffered a significant data breach. A link to an unsecured Google Drive published on the group’s website pointed users last week to a large cache of sensitive documents, including financial and tax records, membership rolls, and email exchanges spanning over a decade. The more than 10,000 documents lay bare the outsize influence of a small conservative organization working to lend a veneer of medical science to evangelical beliefs on parenting, sex, procreation, and gender.

The American College of Pediatricians, which has fought to deprive gay couples of their parental rights and encouraged public schools to treat LGBTQ youth as if they were mentally ill, is one of a handful of conservative think tanks leading the charge against abortion in the United States. A federal lawsuit filed by the College and its partners against the US Food and Drug Administration seeks to limit nationwide access to what is now the most common form of abortion. The case is now on a trajectory for the US Supreme Court, which not even a year ago declared abortion the purview of America’s elected state representatives. 

The leaked records, first reported by WIRED, offer an unprecedented look at the groups and personnel central to that campaign. They also describe an organization that has benefited greatly by exaggerating its own power, even as it has struggled quietly for two decades to grow in size and gain respect. The records show how the College, which the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) describes as a hate group, managed to introduce fringe beliefs into the mainstream simply by being, as the founder of Fox News once put it, “the loudest voice in the room.” 

The Leak

A WIRED review of the exposed data found that the unsecured Google Drive stored nearly 10,000 files, some of which are compressed zip files containing additional documents. These records detail highly sensitive internal information about the College’s donors and taxes, social security numbers of board members, staff resignation letters, budgetary and fundraising concerns, and the usernames and passwords of more than 100 online accounts. The files include Powerpoint presentations, Quickbooks accounting documents, and at least 388 spreadsheets. 

One spreadsheet appears to be an export of an internal database containing information on 1,200 past and current members. It contains intimate personal information about each member, including various contact details, as well as where they were educated, how they heard of the group, and when membership dues were paid. The records show past and current members are mostly male and, on average, over 50 years old. As of spring 2022, the College counted slightly more than 700 members, according to another document reviewed by WIRED. 

The breach exposes some material dating back to the group’s origin. It includes mailing lists gathered by the group of thousands of “conservative physicians” across the country. (One document outlining recruitment efforts states in bold, red letters: “TARGET CHRISTIAN MDs.”) The ongoing recruitment of doctors and medical school students seen as holding Christian views has long been its top priority. The leaked records indicate that more than 10,000 mailers were sent to physicians between 2013 and 2017 alone. 

While the group’s membership rolls are not public, the leak has outed most if not all of its members. A cursory review of the member lists surfaced one name of note: a recent commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services, who after joining in 2019 asked that his membership with the group remain a secret. (WIRED was unable to reach the official for comment in time for publication.)

The SPLC’s “hate group” designation, which the College forcefully disputes, haunted its fundraising efforts, records reveal. A barrage of emails in 2014 show that the label cost the group the chance to benefit from an Amazon program that would eventually distribute $450 million to charities across the globe. Amazon would deny the College’s application, stating that it relied on the SPLC to determine which charities fall into certain ineligible categories.

A strategy document would later refer to a “unified plan” among the College and its allies to “continue discrediting the SPLC,” which included a campaign aimed at lowering its rating at Charity Navigator, one of the web’s most influential nonprofit evaluators. One of the group’s admins noted that despite SPLC’s label, another charity monitor, GuideStar, listed the College as being in “good standing.”

The College’s GuideStar page no longer says this and appears to have been defaced. It now reads, “AMERICAN COLLEGE OF doodoo fartheads,” with a mission statement saying: “we are evil and hate gays :(((”

The Google Drive containing the documents was taken offline soon after WIRED contacted the American College of Pediatricians. The College did not respond to a request for comment.

The Talk

Leaked communications between members of the group and minutes taken at board meetings over the course of several years speak loudly about the challenges the group faced in pursuing its deeply unpopular agenda: returning America to a time when the laws and social mores around family squared neatly with evangelical Christian beliefs.

Many of the College’s most radical views target transgender people, and in particular, transgender youth. The leak, which had been indexed by Google, includes volumes of literature crafted specifically to influence relationships between practicing pediatricians, parents, and their children. It includes reams of marketing material the College aims to distribute widely among public school officials. This includes pushing schools to adopt junk science painting transgender youth as carriers of a pathological disorder, one that’s capable of spontaneously causing others–à la the dancing plague–to adopt similar thoughts and behaviors.

This is one of the group’s most dubious claims. While unsupported by medical science, it is routinely and incuriously propagated through literature targeted at schools and medical offices around the US. The primary source for this claim is a research paper drafted in 2017 by Lisa Littman, a Brown University scholar who, while a medical doctor, had not specialized in mental health. The goal of the paper was to introduce, conceptually, “rapid onset gender dysphoria”—a hypothetical disorder, as was later clarified by the journal that published it. Littman would also clarify personally that her research “does not validate the phenomenon” she’d hypothesized, since no clinicians, nor individuals identifying as trans, had participated in the study.  

The paper explains that its subjects were instead all parents who had been recruited from a handful of websites known for opposing gender-affirmative care and “telling parents not to believe their child is transgender.” A review of one of the sites from the period shows parents congregating to foster paranoia about whether there’s a “conspiracy of silence” around “anime culture” that was brainwashing boys into behaving like girls; insights plucked in some cases straight from another, more notorious forum (widely known for reveling in the suicides of the people it has bullied).

A 2021 prospectus describing the group’s focus, ideology, and lobbying efforts encapsulates a wide range of “educational resources” destined for the inboxes of physicians and medical school students. The materials include links to a website instructing doctors on how to speak to children in a variety of scenarios about a multitude of topics surrounding sex, including in the absence of their parents. Practice scripts of conversations between doctors and patients advise, among other things, ways to elicit a child’s thoughts on sex with the help of an imaginative metaphor. 

While the material is not expressly religious, it is clearly aimed at painting same-sex marriage as aberrant and immoral behavior. Physicians lobbied by the group are also told to urge patients to purchase Christian-based parenting guides, including one designed to help parents broach the topic of sex with their 11- and 12-year-old kids. The College suggests telling parents to plan a “special overnight trip,” a pretext for instilling in their children sexual norms in line with evangelical practice. The group suggests telling parents to buy a tool called a “getaway kit,” a series of workbooks that run around $54 online. The workbooks methodically walk the parents through the process of springing the topic, but only after a day-long charade of impromptu gift-giving and play. 

These books are full of games and puzzles for the parent and child to cooperatively take on. Throughout the process, the child slowly digests a concept of “sexual purity,” lessons aided by oversimplified scripture and well-trodden Bible school parables. 

Another document the group shared with its members contains a script for appointments with pregnant minors. Its purpose is made evidently clear: The advice is engineered specifically to reduce the odds of minors coming into contact with medical professionals not strictly opposed to abortion. A practice script recommends the doctor inform the minor that they “strongly recommend against” abortion, adding “the procedure not only kills the infant you carry, but is also a danger to you.” (Medically, the term “fetus” and “infant” are not interchangeable, the latter referring to a newborn baby less than one year old.)

The doctors are urged to recommend that the minor visit a website that, like the aforementioned website, is not expressly religious but will only direct visitors to Catholic-run “crisis pregnancy centers,” which strictly reject abortion. The same site is widely promoted by anti-abortion groups such as National Right to Life, which last year held that it should be illegal to terminate the pregnancy of a 10-year-old rape victim.

The Professionals

The effort to ban mifepristone, legislation the Supreme Court paused last month pending further review, faces significant legal hurdles but could ultimately benefit from the appellate court’s disproportionately conservative makeup. Most of the legal power in the fight was supplied by a much older and better funded group, the Alliance Defending Freedom, which has established ties with some of the country’s most elite political figures—former vice president Mike Pence and Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett among them.

A contract in the leaked documents dated April 2021 shows the ADF agreeing to legally represent the College free of charge. It stipulates that ADF’s ability to subsidize expenses incurred during lawsuits would be limited by ethical guidelines; however, it could still forgive any lingering costs simply by declaring the College “indigent.”

In contrast to the College’s some 700 members, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)–the organization from which the College’s founders split 20 years ago–has roughly 67,000. The rupture between the two groups was a direct result of a statement issued by the AAP in 2002. Modern research, the AAP said, had conclusively shown that the sexual orientation of parents had an imperceptible impact on the well-being of children, so long as they were raised in caring, supportive families.

The College would gain notoriety early on by assailing the positions of the AAP. In 2005, a Boston Globe reporter noted how common it had become for the American College of Pediatricians “to be quoted as a counterpoint” to anything said by the AAP. The institution, he wrote, had a rather “august-sounding name” for being run by a “single employee.” 

Internal documents show that the group’s directors quickly encountered hurdles operating on the fringe of accepted science. Some claimed to be oppressed. Most of the College’s research had been “written by one person,” according to minutes from a 2006 meeting, which were included in the leak. The College was failing to make a splash. In the future, one director suggested, papers rejected by medical journals “should be published on the web.” The vote to do so was unanimous (though the board decided the term “not published” was nicer than “rejected”). 

A second director put forth a motion to create a separate “scientific section” on the group’s website, strictly for linking to articles published in medical journals. The motion was quashed after it dawned on the board that they didn’t “have enough articles” to make the page “look professional.” 

The College struggled to identify the root cause of its runtedness. “To get enough clout,” one director said, “it would take substantial numbers, maybe 10,000.” (The College’s recruitment efforts would yield fewer than 7 percent of this goal in the following 17 years.) Yet another said the marketing department advised that “the College needs to pick a fight with the AAP and get on Larry King Live.” Another, the notes say, felt the organization was too busy trying to “walk the fence” by neglecting to acknowledge that “we are conservative and religious.”

A Shidou + Dance drabble for anon, thank you for the request! It still has genuine headcanons/characterization, but I definitely went a slightly sillier route (kinda channeling minigram vibes at points...)

“I am not doing that.”

Shidou was always very polite, very calm in the face of any high-energy circumstances, whether it was a medical emergency or a raving party. The situation wasn’t quite either of those, but still he maintained his composure as the prisoners beckoned him forward. 

Yuno had cleared away some of the common room tables so she could teach Haruka a dance she’d seen online. His performance had attracted Muu, and their giggles had tempted Mahiru, whose dedication in her wheelchair involved Mikoto, whose teasing had recruited Fuuta, whose yelling had dragged in Kazui, and their spectacle had created an audience of the others. 

“Aw, it’s easy,” Yuno was telling him, “just a few simple moves. I’m not asking you to pirouette or anything.”

Through his polite smile, he internally cursed Kazui for joining in; now he couldn’t use the excuse that he was too old for such nonsense.

Not that dancing itself was the issue. Shidou prided himself in being very good at the art: he knew several steps and moves, and had never been known to pinch his partner’s toes. He and his wife had received much praise for their dancing at their wedding. Before his work kept him out through the nights, she had talked him into a few midnight waltzes in their kitchen. He’d help his daughter twirl when she was feeling like a ballerina, and would sway with his son to the same music. 

But this amalgamation of hand gestures and hip swaying wasn’t quite the same to him.

He opened his mouth to decline, but a small stare in the corner gave him pause. Amane was watching the scene with feigned disinterest. She watched Shidou for his answer. All week he’d been encouraging her to involve herself with others more, telling her of all the benefits to her mental health. If he wanted even the slightest chance of her taking him seriously, he only had one choice. 

“I… will do my best.”

“Great!”

Before he had a moment to second guess the decision, Yuno grabbed his arms and yanked him into the circle. His eyes flashed around the group, quickly calculating the moves in order to follow along. Swing your arms this way, wag your finger that way, raise both hands, turn your body around, and so on. It was fairly repetitive. He had it down in no time. 

Or so he thought. Mikoto snickered at him.

“What?”

“You look stiffer than a board. You’re supposed to loosen up, man.”

“I am loose,” he said, his limbs perfectly rigid as he moved them with the music.

Mikoto did the little turn, putting a bunch of extra movement into it. It was uplifting to see him enjoying himself. Ever since he’d left the smoking group, Shidou had been worried about his state of mind. “Not even close. You’re doing even worse than Fuuta, somehow.”

“Hey!”

 Mahiru swung her arms to the music. “I think he’s doing very well!”

Yuno was dancing circles around them -- literally and figuratively -- and she seemed to agree with Mikoto.

“Come on, you can relax here! Warden isn’t even around.” She swung her hips in fluid motions. “Let me see some rhythm!”

Shidou joined them for claps in sync with the beat, which he thought demonstrated his rhythm perfectly fine, but she kept prodding. 

Finally, he set his jaw. He wasn’t the type of man to get embarrassed. He could care less for appearances. Even if he was that type of person, he’d have reason to agree -- Kazui was completely showing him up. 

Though his movements were certainly ridiculous and clumsy compared to the others’, he tried to shift his shoulders and legs in similar motions. It earned him some celebration and some laughs from the others. He bent his knees, trying to put his whole body into the silly steps. 

He followed Yuno’s example, letting out a chuckle as he danced more ridiculously than he believed he ever had.

The song picked up, and Shidou turned triumphantly to where Amane sat in the corner. This would be a big step, showing her he was willing to put himself out there for the group. Maybe it would even convince her to come and join the dancers, now that she saw --

Her chair was empty. She had left.

R.E.P.O. Necromancy Division Blues

@rayshippouuchiha Congratuations, you won my insomnia’s hyper fixation for the night. There was one big benefit to working at the REPO organization, Assistant Necromancer R.D. mused, standing at the side of the big vat of ‘mysterious red fluid’ (Probably the Hemo-divisions spare blood they stole from medical storage. Or janitorial returning lost fluids again. One of them. Until he had a Blood Mage step in and check, he wasn’t planning to touch it.)

R.D. took a deep swig from the oversized coffee mug in his hand- shaped from the bones of one of his earliest failed experiments, the sealed skull of a fire demon kept the chai latte perfectly warmed, without being scalding.  Where was he? Right, big benefit of working at REPO. The dress code, and the loose definition thereof. As long as it was mildly modest, wasn’t an active safety hazard, and didn’t flash unmentional bits at random people who didn’t want it, meant that being called in, literally from his bed, meant he only had to grab his non slip work shoes and a lab coat before getting summoned in. He glanced down at his vibrant fuzzy pajama bottoms: covered with the gaudiest blue, green, and teal shark print, and the loose black and gray lab coat and black band shirt that completed his ‘3AM’ appearance and then looked back up and took another swig of chai. “Boss!” looking over, R.D. tracked his personal assistant: Benny B. Ones, the gleaming white bone and carved enamel designs flickering as the skeleton tumbled and jogged around the room, ducking around a cart of bone fragments that an apprentice osteo member was transporting. “Benny. Why am I here before noon.” The skeleton reached into his ribcage and flicked through a binder that was stapled to the left side of his spine. “We’ve got several memo’s from upper management, specifying both intern policy, recruitment drives, and the plans for the Inevitable Lich Conversion Drive.” “The ILCD is still on standby. Fatality rates are low enough that we don't need it yet.” R.D. flipped through the memo’s with only mild concern. “And if we don’t get enough Interns, those rates aren’t gonna stay steady. Medical keeps taking anyone with general healing abilities and the flesh crafters, considering they run the HRT and Body Customization wing, which is making the reconstructive procedures for the actual dead people a nightmare. Trying to get three Necro-specialists to work on the same problem at any point in time is a bitch.” Benny nodded, and rummaged through the various pouches and files in his chest, before pulling out what was very clearly an incident report: considering the edges of the paper were laminated with bright yellow and black hazard print. “And there’s also this!” Taking the report, R.D. gave it a long look, skimming over the basics until he hit the actual ‘Incident’ description… before pausing. “Why the hell do we have the reconstructed remains of six T-rexes in the first place? And who let the Bone Crew at them?” Sighing, R.D. folded the paper up and started marching through the hallway towards the Graveyard warehouses, gaudy Pj’s leading the charge while his labcoat gave a melodramatic ‘swoosh’ behind him. “I swear, it’s always something here.”

Research suggesting men are superior to women in certain aspects is often viewed less favorably than research showing the opposite. But why? A recent study examined this issue, finding evidence that perceived harm to women is a key factor driving negative reactions to male-favoring findings. The new study has been published in the International Journal of Psychology.

“For the last few years, my lab has been studying how people react to research on sex differences,” said study author Steve Stewart-Williams (@SteveStuWill), a professor of psychology at the University of Nottingham Malaysia.

“A very consistent finding is that people react less positively to research that puts men rather than women in a better light. For example, people see fictitious research showing that men are better at drawing, more honest, or smarter than women as lower in quality than otherwise-identical fictitious research showing the reverse.”

“We wanted to know why. Our hypothesis was that a key contributor is that people see male-favoring research as more harmful to women than female-favoring research is to men. Our new paper describes an experiment we conducted to test this hypothesis.”

To conduct this exploration, the researchers recruited 433 participants through Prolific.com, an online platform known for facilitating academic research. These participants were a mix of 214 men and 219 women, ranging in age from 18 to 75 years, with a substantial majority hailing from the United Kingdom (82.4%) and the United States (14.1%).

After providing demographic information, participants were introduced to the study’s context through a preamble embedded in the introduction. This preamble was crucial, as it was designed to prime participants with a certain perspective on sex-differences research by highlighting either its potential benefits or drawbacks.

The benefits perspective was encapsulated in a quote emphasizing the risk to women’s health from ignoring sex differences in brain responses to drugs. Conversely, the drawbacks perspective featured a quote suggesting that emphasizing distinct male and female brains could exaggerate sex differences and discourage gender equality in fields like science.

Following this preamble, participants were presented with one of four versions of a popular-science article summarizing the findings of a fictional study on sex differences in intelligence. This fictional study was carefully crafted to appear legitimate, with summaries claiming either that women are more intelligent than men or vice versa.

To further manipulate the experimental conditions, the study was purported to be led by either a male or a female researcher, with names and photographs selected to avoid confounding factors related to the researchers’ perceived traits other than sex.

“As with our previous studies, we showed participants bogus research finding either a male-favoring or a female-favoring sex difference, then quizzed them about their reactions to the research,” Stewart-Williams explained. “The twist, however, was that before doing this, we surreptitiously exposed them to either a statement about how research on sex differences can be harmful to women (by reinforcing harmful stereotypes) or a statement about how it can be helpful to women (by making medical interventions safer for them).”

In line with previous findings, Stewart-Williams and his colleagues observed a general aversion to male-favoring research findings. Participants rated research that purported to show males as more intelligent than females less positively than research suggesting the opposite.

Interestingly, the sex of the participant did not significantly alter the strength of this aversion. Both men and women exhibited similar levels of negative reactions to male-favoring findings, challenging the notion that gender-ingroup bias (a preference for one’s own gender) plays a major role in these reactions.

The study also investigated the role of the fictional lead researcher’s sex in shaping reactions to the research. Here, a subtle but intriguing pattern emerged: participants reacted slightly less positively to male-led research, particularly when the findings favored males. This effect was more pronounced among male participants, suggesting that the credibility or acceptability of male-favoring findings may be somewhat contingent on the perceived gender neutrality of the researcher presenting those findings.

Another significant aspect of the study was the experimental manipulation of participants’ pre-existing attitudes towards sex-differences research through the preliminary passage they read. Those exposed to a passage highlighting the potential drawbacks of sex-differences research reacted more negatively to the fictitious findings than those who read about its potential benefits. This was especially true for female participants in the context of male-favoring research, reinforcing the idea that concerns about harm to women underpin much of the aversion to such findings.

“As predicted, participants in the ‘harmful’ condition had a stronger negative reaction to the male-favoring findings than those in the ‘helpful’ condition,” Stewart-Williams told PsyPost. “This suggests that perceived harm to women is an important driver of the aversion to male-favoring findings.”

Collectively, these findings support the notion that perceptions of harm and protective attitudes towards women play a crucial role in shaping reactions to sex-differences research. This suggests a genuine concern for the potential societal impact of male-favoring research, particularly in terms of reinforcing harmful stereotypes or undermining efforts towards gender equality.

“The male-favoring aversion comes from a good place: People want to protect women,” Stewart-Williams said. “But the fact that it comes from a good place doesn’t necessarily mean that its effects are good. I always tell students that to improve the world, we need accurate knowledge about the world. Sometimes, that knowledge might be a bit of a downer. But if we want to craft successful interventions and policy, we’re better off knowing than not knowing.”

“I’ll give you a concrete example. On average, girls and women do slightly worse than boys and men on most tests of spatial ability. That’s not good news. But because we spotted this difference, psychologists were able to develop interventions that boost people’s spatial abilities. If we’d suppressed the findings to spare people’s feelings, we wouldn’t have those interventions.”

“And of course, the same applies in reverse in areas where boys and men do worse than girls and women – in verbal abilities, for instance,” Stewart-Williams noted.

The study controlled for important factors that could influence the results, such as political correctness or social desirability bias. However, the research is not without its limitations. The generalizability of the findings across different cultures and among experts and policymakers remains to be tested. Furthermore, the study’s reliance on fictitious research summaries and preambles introduces a level of artificiality that might not fully capture the complexities of real-world reactions to sex-differences research.

“One caveat is that the study involved self-report measures, and that it’s possible that people’s responses were distorted by the desire to present themselves in a socially desirable light or by a tendency to give ‘politically correct’ answers,” Stewart-Williams explained.

“To try to control for this, we measured social desirability bias and proneness to political correctness, then reran our analyses while statistically controlling for these variables. The results were exactly the same, boosting our confidence that our findings are real. Still, it would be great if we could test the hypothesis in other ways – ways that don’t involve self-report measures.”

Despite these limitations, the study’s implications are profound, suggesting that societal and individual biases can significantly shape our reactions to scientific research, especially on contentious topics like sex differences. This bias could potentially influence the peer review process, funding decisions, and the broader scientific discourse.

“I’d just like to give a shout-out to my excellent co-authors: Dr. Christine Leong, Shania Seto, Dr. Andrew Thomas, and – first and foremost – my PhD student Xiu Ling Wong,” Stewart-Williams added. “It’s been a fun project, and I couldn’t have done it without them!”

The study, “The harm hypothesis: How perceived harm to women shapes reactions to research on sex differences,” was published January 3, 2024.

Measuring Israel by the Just-War Yardstick

Traditional just-war analysis weighs decisively against Israel; this is why pro-Netanyahu advocates would strongly prefer not to engage or discuss any of the just-war criteria. But Walter Dorn does: "the enormous loss of Palestinian lives will most likely create intergenerational rage against Israel and catalyze recruitment for extremist groups. Even if Hamas is effectively disarmed and loses control of Gaza, more extremist groups are likely to spring up. Further, there is a great risk of a wider war, with fire already being exchanged over Israel’s borders with Lebanon and Syria, and escalating violence in the West Bank. Damage to Israel’s foreign relations is also likely: the suspension of peace talks with Saudi Arabia and possible withdrawals from the Abraham Accords, which Israel recently signed with certain Arab states with the goal of normalizing relations. So the downside of Israel’s war outweighs any benefit.

The criterion of last resort is key to all just-war considerations. Force should be used only when all other means have failed or would be clearly ineffective. Israel sees no other way to neutralize Hamas and rescue the hostages. But it has forsworn direct negotiations out of hand, and it is not considering a peace process for Gaza. Mr. Netanyahu has dismissed Hamas’s proposed deals for the release of hostages. He has said that he does not want to negotiate with Hamas, though we know that negotiation with adversaries, however distasteful, has often proven successful.

Proportionality of means is an important principle to uphold during fighting. Civilian casualties and damage in Gaza have been far in excess of any military advantage gained by Israel and thus not proportionate. Demanding the almost immediate evacuation of half the population of over two million to the southern part of the Gaza Strip is unrealistic, especially as corridors of travel are extremely hazardous. Israel has attacked Gaza, including the southern part, with ferocity. The death toll of many thousands is climbing alarmingly. Noncombatant distinction is another major criterion for a just war. Civilians should not be targeted. Israel can rightly claim that its ground invasion helps Israeli forces better distinguish Hamas fighters from civilians. Israel accepts the risk of sending in soldiers instead of carpet bombing to destroy Hamas. Furthermore, the extensive labyrinth of tunnels underground, probably holding hostages, need to be cordoned off and searched. But engaging in urban warfare is exceedingly difficult and leads to soldiers killing civilians, especially as Hamas fighters hide among the population. The ethics of using force to overcome the use of human shields is debated among international human rights lawyers, but any future trials of both Israeli and Hamas fighters can examine each specific situation.

In any case, a law-abiding combatant must find ways to reduce civilian casualties to a bare minimum. Israel claims it is not deliberately targeting civilians, but this is hard to reconcile with the extreme level of death and destruction in the first month of its response, including bombings that destroy entire apartment buildings. Furthermore, significant human suffering has resulted from shortages in electricity, water, food, fuel and medical supplies in Gaza because of Israel’s blockade. Humanitarian aid has been stifled for weeks. A U.N. agency said that more than 100 of its employees have been killed and at least one U.N. school has been bombed.

Just-war theory reinforces the human instinct to not only preserve human life but also lament its loss, and to try to find solutions. Israel’s conduct will be judged not only by theorists but by the nations and peoples of the world as well. It will also help determine Israel’s place in history. Hopefully, that prospect will turn the Israeli government toward peace, and solutions other than war."

International Manpower Agency: Key Benefits for Business Growth

Why Partnering with an International Manpower Agency is Critical for Business Growth

In today’s rapidly evolving global market, businesses face many challenges when it comes to talent acquisition. As companies expand beyond their borders, the need for a diverse and highly skilled workforce becomes even more crucial. However, finding and hiring the right talent across various countries can be difficult. This is where partnering with an international manpower agency plays a pivotal role in ensuring business success.

In this blog, we will explore the benefits of working with an international manpower agency, how it impacts business growth, and why it’s essential in the current global landscape.

What is an International Manpower Agency?

An international manpower agency specializes in sourcing, recruiting, and placing talent from different countries for companies that require a global workforce. These agencies connect businesses with skilled professionals from various regions, helping them fill critical positions in industries like IT, construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and more.

Unlike local recruitment agencies, an international manpower agency has a wider reach and offers expertise in navigating international labor laws, cultural differences, and talent shortages. They manage the end-to-end recruitment process, from identifying the right candidates to ensuring compliance with immigration and employment regulations.

The Growing Need for Global Talent

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, businesses are no longer confined to hiring within their local markets. Many industries now require specialized skills that may not be readily available in their home country. Therefore, more companies are turning to international recruitment to fill critical gaps in their workforce.

For example, the technology sector often requires niche skills that are in short supply locally. Similarly, healthcare providers may need to recruit medical professionals from different countries to meet patient demand. In such cases, partnering with an international manpower agency provides access to a larger pool of qualified candidates, helping companies meet their operational needs.

Key Benefits of Partnering with an International Manpower Agency

There are several reasons why working with an international manpower agency can give businesses a competitive edge in the global marketplace. Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Access to a Larger Talent Pool

One of the most significant advantages of working with an international manpower agency is the access it provides to a much broader range of talent. Local recruitment efforts can be limiting, particularly if the domestic market is saturated or lacks candidates with the required skills. By casting a wider net and exploring international markets, companies can find the best talent, regardless of their location.

Additionally, global agencies have the expertise and resources to identify and attract highly skilled professionals who may not be accessible through traditional local recruitment methods. Therefore, businesses can fill specialized roles faster and more efficiently.

2. Expertise in International Labor Laws and Compliance

Navigating the complexities of international labor laws can be a daunting task for companies looking to expand their workforce abroad. However, an international manpower agency can simplify this process. These agencies are well-versed in the legal requirements for hiring employees from various countries, including visa regulations, work permits, and tax compliance.

By partnering with a global recruitment agency, businesses can ensure they remain compliant with the labor laws of the countries in which they are hiring. This reduces the risk of legal complications, which could otherwise result in costly penalties or delays in onboarding new employees.

3. Faster Recruitment Process

In a competitive market, the ability to hire quickly is essential. Lengthy recruitment processes can result in losing top talent to competitors. An international manpower agency speeds up the hiring process by leveraging its global network and expertise in identifying suitable candidates.

Agencies use advanced technology and databases to streamline the search, evaluation, and selection of candidates. Therefore, businesses can expect faster turnaround times, ensuring they secure the talent they need without unnecessary delays.

4. Cost Efficiency

While the idea of recruiting internationally might seem expensive, partnering with an international manpower agency can actually save businesses money in the long run. Agencies handle many of the administrative tasks associated with hiring, including advertising, candidate screening, and contract negotiation. This frees up internal resources, allowing companies to focus on their core operations.

Additionally, global agencies are experienced in negotiating competitive compensation packages, ensuring that companies receive high-quality talent without overspending. The cost savings associated with a quicker and more efficient recruitment process can be significant.

5. Cultural Understanding and Adaptability

Hiring internationally involves more than just identifying qualified candidates. It also requires an understanding of cultural differences that can impact workplace dynamics. An international manpower agency brings valuable insights into the cultural aspects of recruitment, ensuring that businesses hire employees who can adapt and thrive in a new environment.

These agencies help facilitate smoother transitions for employees by offering guidance on cultural integration, language barriers, and communication styles. Therefore, businesses can avoid potential misunderstandings and foster a more cohesive and collaborative work environment.

6. Flexibility and Scalability

One of the key advantages of working with an international manpower agency is the flexibility it provides. Companies can scale their workforce up or down, depending on their project needs and market conditions. Whether you need temporary staff for a short-term project or permanent employees for long-term growth, an international agency can meet your specific recruitment needs.

This level of flexibility is particularly important in industries like construction, oil and gas, or technology, where project demands can fluctuate. By partnering with an agency that offers both onshore and offshore recruitment solutions, businesses can stay agile and responsive to changing market conditions.

How an International Manpower Agency Supports Business Growth

Now that we’ve covered the benefits of partnering with an international manpower agency, let’s take a closer look at how it directly impacts business growth.

1. Meeting Critical Skills Shortages

As industries evolve, the demand for highly specialized skills continues to grow. However, local talent markets may not always have enough qualified candidates to meet this demand. By recruiting internationally, businesses can fill critical skills gaps and ensure they have the talent needed to drive innovation and stay competitive.

Whether it’s recruiting engineers for the energy sector or IT specialists for the tech industry, an international manpower agency can help businesses access the skills they need to achieve their goals.

2. Expanding into New Markets

For businesses looking to expand into new markets, hiring local talent in those regions is essential for success. An international manpower agency can support expansion efforts by sourcing talent that understands the local market, culture, and business landscape. This enables companies to establish a strong presence in new regions and build relationships with local stakeholders.

Therefore, global recruitment is a critical component of any successful expansion strategy.

3. Enhancing Diversity and Innovation

Diversity is increasingly recognized as a key driver of innovation and creativity. By hiring talent from different regions and cultural backgrounds, businesses can bring new perspectives to the table and enhance their problem-solving capabilities. An international manpower agency can help companies build a diverse and inclusive workforce, leading to greater creativity and more innovative solutions.

4. Reducing Time to Market

In fast-paced industries, getting products or services to market quickly is critical. Delays in hiring can slow down project timelines and reduce competitiveness. However, by working with an international manpower agency, businesses can accelerate their recruitment process and reduce time-to-market for new products or services.

This speed and efficiency can have a direct impact on revenue and market share.

Choosing the Right International Manpower Agency

When selecting an international manpower agency, it’s important to consider several factors to ensure the partnership aligns with your business goals. Here are a few key considerations:

Industry Expertise: Choose an agency with a deep understanding of your industry and its unique talent requirements.

Global Network: Look for an agency with a broad international reach and access to a diverse pool of candidates.

Compliance Knowledge: Ensure the agency has expertise in international labor laws and can manage all legal aspects of hiring.

Communication: Clear and transparent communication is essential for a successful partnership. Choose an agency that provides regular updates and keeps you informed throughout the recruitment process.

Conclusion

In conclusion, partnering with an international manpower agency is a strategic move that can significantly benefit businesses looking to grow and expand in the global market. From accessing a larger talent pool to ensuring compliance with international labor laws, the advantages are clear.

By working with a trusted global recruitment agency, companies can meet their talent needs more efficiently, reduce costs, and enhance their competitiveness. Therefore, businesses that embrace international recruitment are better positioned to thrive in today’s fast-paced and interconnected world.

Top 8 Benefits of Partnering with a Healthcare RPO Services Company

In today’s competitive healthcare environment, the ability to find and retain qualified medical professionals is critical for the success of hospitals and healthcare facilities. Recruitment can be a time-consuming, expensive, and complex process, especially for organizations dealing with high turnover rates, specialized staffing needs, or fluctuating demand. That’s where partnering with a healthcare RPO services company like Medstaff RPO can provide significant value.

A healthcare Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) company specializes in managing the recruitment needs of healthcare organizations, offering tailored solutions to streamline and optimize the hiring process. In this article, we will explore the top benefits of partnering with a healthcare RPO services company and why it could be the strategic advantage your organization needs.

What is a Healthcare RPO Services Company?

Before diving into the benefits, it's important to understand what a healthcare RPO services company is. Healthcare RPO stands for Recruitment Process Outsourcing, where a third-party provider takes over all or part of a healthcare organization's hiring processes. This can include sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding candidates.

A company like Medstaff RPO has over 20 years of experience specializing in healthcare recruitment, offering innovative, cost-effective solutions to address the staffing needs of hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities.

The Top Benefits of Partnering with a Healthcare RPO Services Company

1. Access to a Larger Talent Pool

One of the primary benefits of working with a healthcare RPO services company is the expanded access to a larger and more diverse talent pool. Healthcare RPO providers maintain databases of qualified candidates and have the tools and resources to reach passive job seekers who might not be actively looking for a new position but are open to opportunities.

Diverse and Specialized Candidates

By leveraging an RPO provider, you gain access to candidates who specialize in various medical fields, from nursing to specialized surgery. This increases your chances of filling both general and niche positions more efficiently.

2. Improved Hiring Efficiency

Time-to-hire is a critical factor in healthcare recruitment. Vacant positions can compromise patient care and increase the workload on existing staff. Partnering with a healthcare RPO services company like Medstaff RPO can streamline the entire hiring process, reducing the time it takes to fill essential roles.

Streamlined Processes

RPO providers use proven systems and technology to identify, screen, and onboard candidates more quickly than internal teams. This ensures that healthcare facilities can maintain optimal staffing levels without sacrificing the quality of care.

3. Cost Savings

The recruitment process can be costly, with expenses for job postings, advertising, internal HR resources, and temporary staffing solutions adding up. A healthcare RPO services company offers a cost-effective alternative. By outsourcing recruitment, healthcare organizations can reduce overhead and make the hiring process more budget-friendly.

Reduced Turnover Costs

High turnover rates are common in the healthcare industry, leading to additional recruitment expenses. By working with an RPO company, you can reduce turnover rates as they ensure the placement of highly qualified candidates who are well-matched to your organization, resulting in long-term retention.

4. Focus on Core Operations

Healthcare organizations are primarily focused on providing quality patient care. Diverting attention and resources to recruitment tasks can hinder this focus. By outsourcing recruitment to a healthcare RPO services company, healthcare providers can concentrate on their core mission—delivering exceptional healthcare services—while the RPO company handles all aspects of staffing.

Freeing Up Internal Resources

With recruitment handled externally, your internal HR team can focus on employee development, engagement, and other critical operational functions that support your organization’s goals.

5. Expertise in Compliance and Healthcare Regulations

Recruiting in the healthcare industry requires a thorough understanding of the various regulations, licensing, and certifications necessary for medical professionals. A healthcare RPO services company like Medstaff RPO is well-versed in these compliance requirements. They ensure that all candidates meet regulatory standards, avoiding potential legal and operational risks.

Navigating Complex Healthcare Laws

Healthcare RPO providers are familiar with the intricacies of employment laws, healthcare regulations, and compliance standards, making sure that the hiring process is efficient and legally compliant.

6. Scalable Recruitment Solutions

The staffing needs of healthcare organizations fluctuate based on demand, such as seasonal spikes or emergencies like a pandemic. A healthcare RPO services company offers scalable recruitment solutions that can adjust to your specific needs. Whether you need to hire for a temporary surge in patients or require long-term staffing solutions, an RPO provider can quickly adapt to your situation.

Handling High-Volume Hiring

When faced with large-scale recruitment needs, such as opening a new facility or filling multiple roles simultaneously, an RPO provider can manage high-volume hiring more effectively by utilizing advanced recruitment technologies and resources.

7. Data-Driven Recruitment Decisions

A key advantage of working with a healthcare RPO services company is access to data-driven recruitment insights. RPO providers leverage data analytics to track important metrics such as time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, and candidate satisfaction. These insights allow healthcare organizations to make informed decisions that enhance the overall recruitment strategy.

Predictive Analytics for Future Staffing Needs

With access to recruitment data, healthcare organizations can forecast staffing needs, allowing for proactive planning and reducing the risk of future staff shortages.

8. Enhanced Candidate Experience

The recruitment process is often the first interaction that candidates have with your organization, making it a crucial touchpoint for establishing a positive relationship. A healthcare RPO services company ensures a smooth and professional recruitment experience for candidates, increasing the likelihood of securing top talent.

Building a Positive Employer Brand

Providing a seamless and positive experience during the recruitment process not only attracts better candidates but also helps build your employer brand, making your healthcare facility a desirable place to work.

9. Long-Term Recruitment Strategy

Unlike traditional staffing agencies, which often focus on filling immediate vacancies, a healthcare RPO services company provides a long-term recruitment strategy. By aligning recruitment efforts with your organizational goals, they help create a sustainable hiring process that supports your facility’s long-term success.

Building a Pipeline for Future Needs

An RPO provider helps develop a talent pipeline, ensuring that you have access to a steady stream of candidates for future needs, reducing the risk of staffing shortages down the line.

Conclusion

Partnering with a healthcare RPO services company like Medstaff RPO can significantly improve your recruitment efforts, leading to better patient care, reduced costs, and enhanced operational efficiency.

We'll also provide a real-life case study to give you a deeper understanding of how an agency can benefit you.

What is an Employment Agency?

An employment agency acts as a bridge between employers looking for talent and job seekers searching for work. They provide recruitment services for a variety of industries, from entry-level jobs to specialized positions. These agencies screen candidates, match them to suitable roles, and assist employers in filling vacancies quickly and efficiently.

Why Choose an Employment Agency in Caboolture?

The employment agency Caboolture sector has become increasingly essential as more businesses are setting up operations in the region. Local agencies understand the Caboolture job market better than national or international firms, offering tailored services that meet the specific needs of both job seekers and employers. By partnering with an agency in your area, you gain access to job opportunities that might not be advertised elsewhere, and employers benefit from candidates who are already familiar with the local community.

Common Topics You Should Know About Employment Agencies

1. How Employment Agencies Work

Understanding the inner workings of an employment agency is critical for both job seekers and employers. Most agencies operate on a contract basis with companies, providing them with temporary or permanent staff. Job seekers register with the agency, and their profiles are matched with suitable job openings.

The agency handles everything from resume screening to preliminary interviews, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates reach the final stages of hiring. For employers, this eliminates the time-consuming process of sorting through unqualified applications.

2. Benefits of Using an Employment Agency

There are several benefits to using an employment agency in Caboolture for both job seekers and employers:

Access to Hidden Job Markets: Many employers don’t advertise their openings publicly but rely on agencies to find candidates.

Save Time: Job seekers can fast-track their applications, while employers save time on recruitment.

Expert Guidance: Agencies offer professional advice on resumes, interviews, and even salary negotiation.

Flexible Opportunities: Many agencies specialize in temporary or part-time work, making them ideal for those looking for flexible employment.

3. Types of Jobs You Can Find Through an Employment Agency

Agencies in Caboolture often specialize in various industries, including:

Administration and Office Work: Secretarial, clerical, and data entry positions.

Trades and Labor: Skilled and unskilled labor, electricians, plumbers, and more.

Healthcare: Nursing, caregiving, and other medical roles.

Retail and Hospitality: Customer service, cashiering, and management positions.

Challenges You May Face When Working with an Employment Agency

While using an employment agency Caboolture can be incredibly beneficial, it’s not without challenges. Here are some common hurdles:

1. Limited Control Over Job Selection

When you rely on an employment agency, you might feel limited in your choice of jobs. Some agencies may push positions that aren’t the best fit for you, especially if they're trying to fill vacancies quickly. It's essential to communicate your preferences clearly from the beginning.

2. Competition from Other Job Seekers

Employment agencies work with a large pool of candidates, which means you'll be competing with others for the same roles. Having a standout resume and solid interview skills will give you a better chance of being selected for top positions.

3. Lack of Transparency

Some agencies may not always provide full information about job offers, especially if it’s a short-term or temporary role. Be sure to ask detailed questions during your interview with the agency, including pay rates, job duration, and job responsibilities.

4. Waiting for the Right Match

Patience is required when working with employment agencies. They won’t always have the perfect job available immediately. Sometimes it may take days or even weeks before a suitable role comes along.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Work with an Employment Agency in Caboolture

Step 1: Research and Choose the Right Agency

The first step in your journey is to research and identify the best employment agency Caboolture has to offer. Look for agencies that specialize in your field of interest, and read reviews or testimonials to ensure they have a good reputation.

Step 2: Prepare Your Resume and Documents

Before registering with an agency, ensure that your resume is up-to-date and tailored to the kind of jobs you're seeking. Having professional references and any relevant certifications will also make your application more appealing to employers.

Step 3: Register with the Agency

Most agencies will have an online registration process where you can upload your resume and provide personal details. Once registered, you’ll likely be asked to attend an in-person or virtual interview with one of the agency's recruiters.

Step 4: Discuss Your Job Preferences

During the interview, it’s essential to communicate your preferences clearly. Be upfront about the kind of role you’re looking for, your availability, and any restrictions you may have regarding location, salary, or hours. This will help the agency match you with the most suitable opportunities.

Step 5: Stay in Regular Contact

Once you're registered, it's crucial to maintain regular contact with the agency. If you haven't heard from them in a few weeks, follow up to check if there are any new job opportunities. Staying proactive shows the agency that you're serious about finding employment.

Step 6: Prepare for Interviews

When the agency finds a suitable role for you, they'll arrange an interview with the employer. Be sure to research the company beforehand and practice common interview questions. The agency may provide you with tips and feedback to help you succeed in the interview.

Step 7: Negotiate Terms

If you’re offered the job, the agency will often handle negotiations on your behalf, especially regarding salary and other employment terms. However, it’s important to communicate your expectations clearly and ensure they’re represented during the negotiation process.

Case Study: How One Job Seeker Found Success through an Employment Agency in Caboolture

The agency quickly matched her skills to a temporary administrative position with a local construction company. Although it wasn’t exactly what she was looking for, the agency reassured her that it could lead to more permanent opportunities.

After a few weeks on the job, the employer was so impressed with Sarah's work that they offered her a permanent role with a significant pay raise. Sarah is now the office manager, and she credits the employment agency with helping her get her foot in the door.

Conclusion: The Value of Using an Employment Agency in Caboolture

Whether you’re a job seeker or an employer, working with an employment agency Caboolture can offer a range of benefits. From time-saving recruitment processes to access to a wider pool of candidates or job opportunities, employment agencies are a valuable resource in today’s competitive job market.

Reposting my Shidou/dance drabble -- I realized I’d accidentally included literally everyone except Kotoko and I felt so bad 😭It’s all super minor edits to make it happen in T1 and give her like two lines of appearance, but I really wanted to lol

“I am not doing that.”

Shidou was always very polite, very calm in the face of any high-energy circumstances, whether it was a medical emergency or a raving party. The situation wasn’t quite either of those, but still he maintained his composure as the prisoners beckoned him forward. 

Yuno had cleared away some of the common room tables so she could teach Haruka a dance she’d seen online. His performance had attracted Muu, and their giggles had tempted Mahiru, whose enthusiasm had inspired Kotoko, whose intensity had found competition in Mikoto, whose teasing had recruited Fuuta, whose yelling had dragged in Kazui, and their spectacle had drawn in Shidou and Amane as an audience. 

“Aw, it’s easy,” Yuno was telling him, “just a few simple moves. I’m not asking you to pirouette or anything.”

Through his polite smile, he internally cursed Kazui for joining in; now he couldn’t use the excuse that he was too old for such nonsense.

Not that dancing itself was the issue. Shidou prided himself in being very good at the art: he knew several steps and moves, and had never been known to pinch his partner’s toes. He and his wife had received much praise for their dancing at their wedding. Before his work kept him out through the nights, she had talked him into a few midnight waltzes in their kitchen. He’d help his daughter twirl when she was feeling like a ballerina, and would sway with his son to the same music. 

But this amalgamation of hand gestures and hip swaying wasn’t quite the same to him.

He opened his mouth to decline, but the small stare in the corner gave him pause. Amane was watching the scene with feigned disinterest. She watched Shidou for his answer. All week he’d been encouraging her to involve herself with others more, telling her of all the benefits to her mental health. If he wanted even the slightest chance of her taking him seriously, he only had one choice. 

“I… will do my best.”

“Great!”

Before he had a moment to second guess the decision, Yuno grabbed his arms and yanked him into the circle. His eyes flashed around the group, quickly calculating the moves in order to follow along. Swing your arms this way, wag your finger that way, raise both hands, turn your body around, and so on. It was fairly repetitive. He had it down in no time. 

Or so he thought. Mikoto snickered at him.

“What?”

“You look stiffer than a board. You’re supposed to loosen up, man.”

“I am loose,” he said, his limbs perfectly rigid as he moved them with the music.

Mikoto did the little turn, putting a bunch of extra movement into it. It was uplifting to see him enjoying himself. Ever since he’d left the smoking group, Shidou had been worried about his state of mind. “Not even close. You’re doing even worse than Fuuta, somehow.”

“Hey!”

Mahiru circled her arms to the music. “I think he’s doing very well!”

Kotoko looked over. “You’ve got good breath control. It feels nice to work out like this, mm?”

“I suppose…”

Yuno was dancing circles around them -- literally and figuratively -- and she seemed to agree with Mikoto.

“Come on, you can relax here! Warden isn’t even around.” She swung her hips in fluid motions. “Let me see some rhythm!”

Shidou joined them for claps in sync with the beat, which he thought demonstrated his rhythm perfectly fine, but she kept prodding. 

Finally, he set his jaw. He wasn’t the type of man to get embarrassed. He could care less for appearances. Even if he was that type of person, he’d have reason to agree -- Kazui was completely showing him up. 

Though his movements were certainly ridiculous and clumsy compared to the others’, he tried to shift his shoulders and legs in similar motions. It earned him some celebration and some laughs from the others. He bent his knees, trying to put his whole body into the silly steps. 

He followed Yuno’s example, letting out a chuckle as he danced more ridiculously than he believed he ever had.

The song picked up, and Shidou turned triumphantly to where Amane sat in the corner. This would be a big step, showing her he was willing to put himself out there for the group. Maybe it would even convince her to come and join the dancers, now that she saw --

Her chair was empty. She had left.
