1) Summary: Why Veterinarians Are Anti-Raw Feeding

Name: Kimberly Gauthier Keep the Tail Wagging

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bfdt@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Keep the Tail Wagging

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 28 October

Query:

I'm a raw feeder and I educate pet parents about raw feeding. I
would like to speak to a veterinarian (or several) who either
don't promote/support raw feeding or actively deter clients from
feeding a raw diet.

This IS NOT going to be a contentious conversation. Instead, I
would like to understand your POV and share that with my
audience in an attempt to bridge this gap in the pet lover
community.

Requirements:

Must be a veterinarian. Will NOT respond to emails from
publicists.

QUESTIONS:

Why don't you support raw feeding?

If a pet parent is actively learning to feed a balanced diet,
would you be more supportive?

If a pet parent used a meal formulation program (e.g. Animal
Diet Formulator) or worked with a veterinarian to formulate
meals, would you be more supportive?

What are your thoughts on individual pet parents formulating
meals as a business?

If you don't recommend raw, what would you recommend to the pet
parent who wants to get away from processed foods and feed a
natural diet?

There may be follow up questions. This blog post will be
promoted on social media and will include links back to your
website and social media channels if provided.

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bfwf@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Fatherly

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 26 October

Query:

Hi, I'm also interested in hearing from experts -- professors,
industrial psychologists, people with expertise in workplace
demographics and trends -- about the recent McKinsey report
finding that 1 in 4 women are contemplating leaving the
workforce since COVID-19 made an impact on the US. But I would
very much like to hear from people who have experienced this
personally and would be willing to answer a few questions about
it.

I would like to talk to people who are parents but responses
from both moms and dads welcome. I'm looking for some insights
about how this decision might have shaken out in real families.
Such as, if you realized having one parent leave their job to
stay home with the kids, did Dad assume that Mom should stay
home, even if she makes more money? Were couples pragmatic about
which parent should stay home, after careful consideration? Was
Mom pushed out of her job; were the added pressures of COVID
making her feel burnt out, as many parents feel, and led to her
decision to leave? How has the adjustment been?

Requirements:

parents, experts in workplace sociology or psychology

33) Summary: Do You Know How Recruiters May Be Impacting Your Employer Brand?

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bfdz@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Anonymous

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 28 October

Query:

When a company relies on an external recruiting firm to handle
their job searches, regardless of what level the role may reside
in the organization, they're trusting that the firm and its
representatives will reflect favorably on their employer brand.
But will they?

Do you know: How recruiters follow through with top candidates
after a decision has been made and some have not been selected?
What recruiters are telling candidates about your organization
and the people they will be reporting to/working with? How
well recruiters understand reporting structures and how the
final hiring decision will be made?

I've heard a number of "horror stories" recently from candidates
for top positions who have faced these and other situations:
being wooed for several weeks and going through multiple rounds
of interviews before being "ghosted" and not receiving any
additional feedback; being provided with "inside information" on
the personality styles of company leaders/staff members that was
far from favorable; receiving conflicting information about
whether/not the position would be remote; receiving conflicting
information on who the position would be reporting to, etc.

These types of situations don't reflect well on the organization
and its employer brand.

I'm interested in hearing from HR leaders who can share
information on: Situations they've faced when they've
discovered that a recruiter's actions (or inaction) were not
reflecting well on the brand. Steps they take to ensure they
remain aware of recruiters' processes and communications to
ensure their actions (or inaction) is reflecting well on the
brand--e.g. have you ever done "mystery shopping" (included a
candidate to go through the process to assess it from the
employer standpoint) or other means of getting first-hand
information about the actual candidate experience? The degree
to which they believe this is an issue that organizations need
to be alert to and how they can select and work most effectively
with an agency to minimize the odds that this would happen.

I'm also interested in hearing from candidates who have faced
these types of situations and can share details about what
happened, how it affected their perspective of the organization
and what, if anything, they did to alert the company to their
experiences.

forms of income/investing.

ways can investors make money passively? What sort of active
investments should investors consider with the time they have
created from other passive investment strategies? Why would
someone choose to invest actively over passively? What benefits
do active investments have over passive investments, and vice
versa? How can someone decide the proper diversification
between active and passive investments? At what point in
someone's life should they consider transferring from active
investments to passive investments, and how should the
transition take place?

Requirements:

Looking for responses from investors, real estate professionals,
or anyone with experience on the subject of passive investment
strategies. Any advice you have on the topic would be greatly
