Recruiting and Astrology ?

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to dine in Athens in the company the HR director of one of the larger Greek Technology companies. She confided she planned to leave, and was considering other employment alternatives. The reason behind her decision to leave was a peculiar request from an executive belonging to the company they just merged with.

This senior director pointed to the staple of CV's of Senior SW Developers she was reviewing on her desk, requesting her to select only people with Virgo and Leo zodiac signs so he could "achieve team coherence". I thought she was joking, but the look in her eyes confirmed this effectively happened. 

5 years in this business and I assumed to have heard and seen it all. Obviously I did not.
