English: Basically it's reporting that Arnaud Rochette 'the founder of Staffbooker' has received a distinguished award for originality!
The facts...
Arnaud Rochette was asked on numerous occasions to think of his own name but instead he chose to display a level of arrogance that shocked us all, stating, and we quote: 'I don't want fight this bull shit'... later telling us to get a lawyer. Our issue with Arnaud Rochette isn't about 'competition', this is about a deliberate and direct attack on the Staffbooker name. We believe any tech community would deem his decision to proceed using the Staffbooker name to be wholly unacceptable and against the entrepreneurial spirit for a number of reasons:
To suggest Arnaud did not know about the original Staffbooker would suggest he did not complete thorough research, essential for any start-up. When planning a start-up and randomly think of the name 'Staffbooker' he would have discoverd the following had already been taken:
Granted our social media presence is none existent to the eye but this is because we strive for quality over quantity and we have a responsibility to our industry not to advertised to the masses. Instead we have multiple industry named Facebook groups and invite the very best people to our secret Staffbooker groups (Different to any group visible on a Facebook search for 'Staffbooker').
Arnaud Rochette would be foolish to suggest he hadn't completed his research, after all what would this say about him to both investors and future clients. It is therefore safe to say Arnaud and his team knew full well about the original Staffbooker but felt they could hijack both the name and concept without a thought for their own future standing (always appearing weak due to not having any of the above) while utterly disregarding the original Staffbooker and fellow tech community founders. Arnaud didn't even approach us to discuss the name or any potential working relationship and let's not forget we could have easily been reached via any number of social media platforms but instead Arnaud decided to sabotage a great name that over the years has seen a significant investment. Arnaud's display of bad business etiquette say's alot about a person, more so when he fails to recognise or acknowledge any wrongdoing after recieving advice, prior to him even launching, how these poor decisions remain throughout a career. This is something we will pursue in the years ahead as we now have a moral duty to warn others about these deceitful people. We had hoped to launch our new application in the near future, which offers a superior strategy than our existing application that presents staff based on job role, experience, personal statistics and availability. However, Arnaud Rochette has selfishly chosen to burn the 'Staffbooker' name and this is something we cannot forgive, especially after we have gone to great lengths to explain the unnecessary damage he is choosing to cause, only to be met with nothing but sheer arrogance. Moving forward We will allow Arnaud and his team to build an audience before we release an explosive video, ensuring maximum impact. We're confident their work colleagues, fellow tech communities and any clients (past, present and future, regardless of the work or project) will want to be seen to distance themselves from all involved. |
